I'm ready to get a universal player and have a couple of questions. I know there are many threads on various boards about this player, but some are very long and I don't have the time to read them all.
I currently have a Toshiba A2 and am happy with it. I don't have a golden ear and really doubt I could hear the difference between the DTS sound tracks and the newer sound tracks. My receiver is a Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXi, so I have no HDMI inputs, it does perform BM on the multi-inputs (I think). I don't plan on replacing the receiver. My TV is a Hitachi 51F500 with just component and DVI inputs.
On the video side, has the firmware update for the BD-UP5000 fixed most of the discs playback issues. From what I have read some have no problems with any discs and others have many issues. It seems if you have a problem free player the picture quality is great for either format, and upconversion is fantastic.
My wife uses the HT frequently for the kids and herself so I really want a single player for ease of use, not to mention lack of HD inputs on the TV.
Any thoughts?
