hi when i am watching MKV's with .srt subtitles the subtitles isnt showed at the right time. it doesnt matter if it is internal or external subtitles. and it is not because of time issues the movies plays fime on laptop. but when i stop and play the movie a lot of times the subtitles sometime fit again. this wasnt a problem in the older version.

has anybody experienced this ?

Yeah, that happened with me too, very annoying.

I have a DENON AVR2807 that will not decode TrueHD or DTS MA HD. It will however process a PCM stream enabling MULTI CHANNEL PCM output from the AVR! Question is why isnt there a PCM output option under the audio setup with this firmware update? Is this due to the fact the A200 cannot do the decoding?

Many thanks

PCH does not have a license to decode dts-hd and truehd to multichannel pcm

I have an issue with Fast Forward / Skip Forward / Resume when playing content recorded from DVB-T broadcasts in New Zealand on an A-210 using this version of firmware. The content is H.264 video and either AC3 or AAC-HE audio in a .TS file container.

The A-210 is currently operating in a standalone configuration with no network connection, and no installed hard disk playing files from a USB-attached disk and/or USB memory stick.

Selecting and playing a file works as expected. The problem occurs if I fast forward or skip ahead during playback. As soon as I press the play button again, playback is abruptly ended, and I’m dropped back into the on-screen list of media files on the disk. Also if I stop during playback, and play again, playback will not resume from that point – it will always start from the beginning of the file.

This issue also occurs with the previous firmware release (02-03-100918-21-POP-411), but it is resolved by installing the firmware released in May 2010 (02-02-100428-19-POP-411).

Damn, and I was just thinking about buying an HDMI switch box that can convert 7.1 LPCM into 7.1 analogue. (http://www.octavainc.com/HDMI%20switch%2...udio.html) Glad I read this before spending the money! My Denon amp (AVC-A10SE) lacks HDMI inputs but I've no intention of replacing it just yet. Anyone know of a reasonably priced add-on decoder that can convert bitstream HD audio to 7.1 analogue? The only ones I've found so far cost as much as buying a new amp.

Back on topic, this firmware is working pretty well for me. In particular, a bunch of MKVs that were annoyingly jerky with previous FWs now play smoothly. However, there's still a few things that get on my nerves:

- Having to manually zoom to between 90 and 95% every time I start watching anything is really tiresome. I wish there was a global setting for overscan.

- It seems to choose at random from displaying either full screen or fit to screen, regardless of what the default is set to or what it says on screen when I press Zoom.

- The reversed directions when panning are just weird. I have to press down to move the picture up, left to move it right and so on. Do the programmers live in a mirror universe?

Try to use your TV display settings for switching overscan off. In my Bravia I use Set-up->Screen settings->Display area->Full pixel (instead of Normal).
