Question for all owners

You have had great benefits in updating the firmware?
Smaller blocks?

Or do you think there is still something not working right?

Reviews on this player?

Thank you very much

Con questo aggiornamento, tutto il software è migliorato, e il passaggio da una funzione all'altra è perfetta. Effettivamente, appena preso, aveva blocchi continui. Ora, anche passando da una funzione all'altra, anche in maniera frenetica (BD-SmartTV-BD-USB-DLNA-Youtube, ecc...)per testare il software, non perde un colpo. Sembra più veloce anche il Browser.
Perfortuna l'aggiornamento è arrivato dopo solo 7 giorni dall'acquisto, perchè stavo pensando già di buttarlo dalla finestra!!
Ora, è veramente un ottimissimo prodotto.
Unico neo, la mancanza di Flash player (che sembra non verrà neanche più supportato da Adobe perchè soppiantato da HTML5), e il non poter utilizzare la tastiera wireless per la ricerca nell'applicazione "Dailymotion" come si può fare tranquillamente con l'applicazione "Youtube".

Non giudico la condivisione di file in rete tra PC e lettore, perchè non sono sicuro della effettiva corretta configurazione della "condivisione multimediale" e delle porte firewall che ho fatto nel PC.
Nel mio caso, dopo aver configurato la condivisione (lenta la navigazione delle 100 e più cartelle e sottocartelle del HDD esterno collegato al PC, mentre una volta avviato il file audio o video -più di 5000- la riproduzione è fluida), al successivo accesso la configurazione si era cancellata.

Sulla qualità video e audio, non essendo un esperto, posso comunque dire che sono favolose, anche i DVD sembrano migliorare, ovviamente su schermo fullHD.

Formati, ne ho provati pochi, e cmq per le mie esigenze sono più che sufficienti: mkv, mts, DivX, Xvid, Wav, mp3, Mpeg4, Avi, forse altri.

E' stata una sorpresa vedere i video HD disponibili su Youtube, le immagini sono incredibili.

My suggestion...
If you have non problems --> Do Not Upgrade!!! :)

See my previous posts on bdp7000 thread.

Just updated to new (3.53) firmware.
Everything is as before: the 3D is UNUSABLE!!!

This from my previous posts:
"These are the big issues and problems with 3D:
all the scenes are "duplicated" and , it seems almost everything is "under water".
I's impossible to see any scene without eyes-ache!
I must give-up using the 3D.
These are the same problems I had with bdp7600 (using several firmware) and at the end, fortunately, I gave back the product to the dealer."

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM!

thanks

Paolo

Hi,

if you had the same problem with your previous BDP7600, maybe your TV is the problem...

Toengle@Alex

Indeed did youn try on different TV, different HDMi entry, different cable? To much missing here.

I have seen the 3D on this device with latest firmware and it looked very good. Please check all

Sorry Toengel, but the TV is NOT the problem!

As I reported on my previous thread:
http://www.supportforum.philips.com/...ware-downgrade

Some tests were made with my tv 8606 and other blu-ray player (samsung) with my same glasses (pta517 and pta507) and everything was fine!
My player connected to TV samsung (55") had the same issues as on my tv philips!

As I wrote in my previous thread with old firmware (3.34) everything in 3D was fine (and pleasant): Hugo Cabret, RIO, ICE Age 3 and more...

now I'm sad, distrust and tired of this story... :(

bye
