The Complete "The Lord of the Rings: score - with 5.1 DVD - Page 6

Unfortunately Nathan, it sounds precisely like the 563A firmware issue impacting Warner DVD-A titles. What's the date of manufacture of the player (on the back) and when did you buy it?

Nathan Eddy · 06-10-2006, 09:38 PM

It was manufactured in July 2003. So how do I go about getting the firmware upgrade? Is it still available?

Nathan:

I think spring 2004 is the cutoff: players manufactured before that date need the firmware update. Were you told by the previous owner that the player had the firmware upgrade already by virtue of when it was manufactured, or because that owner had it performed? If the former, I think you were misled.

Check out the "Pio DV-563A firmware fix" thread here:

And the "Pioneer DV-563A Review" thread here:

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=134989

The bottom line, if I recall correctly from when these threads were really "hot," is that you need to either request a CD from Pioneer, take the player to an authorized service center or ship the player to Pioneer. I recall different guys were having differing experiences regarding whether the firmware upgrade could be performed while you wait if they took it to an authorized service center (it can) and whether Pioneer paid for both shipping the player to them and returning it to the owner if he chose that route (you should ask Pio to pay for both).

I'm curious: do you have either the Neil Young Greendale or Seal IV DVD-As?

Anyone found a lower price on this title?

More likely late 2008 will see HD-DVD and/or BluRay releases of the trilogy.

That would be fine, if only they'd release the EEs in HD--I haven't watched the theatricals for years.

Back OT, I read that this score wil contain Eowyn's dirge and lament for her cousin Theodred, but Andy Serkis's "rock and pool" fish catching song is not on there.

Fantastic news!

With the exception of Ian McKellen and possibly Viggo Mortensen, the vocals on Fellowship were an incongruous addition.

i hope it's not as "soft" as FOTR.
