(I also posted this over at avs forum)
I was out looking around and I came across a open boxed RP91 at a GoodGuys store. Now I'm alway unsure about doing anything with an open box unit. But the price was $500. There was no box, manual or cables. (Ok, now that I look online that price doesn't seem that great)
I did learn that GoodGuys won't be selling any Panasonic products.
I've also checked the firmware and I have version 174.
I went looking for a manual online. I want to be able to do the letterboxed zoom. I read the rp-91 faq that was posted here, but even things like having the progressive blue light turn off wasn't present in the firmware I have. So, can someone describe the letterbox zoom trick?
Lastly I have 30 days to return this, but I gotta admit I'm quite impressed. I may look for a cheaper new one, but I think I'm sold. This is one sweet player. Any of you owners NOT LOVE this thing? I'm a little unsure about the purchase with blue laser and firewire right around the corner. Can anyone advise me on what to do?
Turns out the remote wasn't the 91's remote. Is it possible to get the player to go to zoom mode without the remote? I can always look for a pronto version of the remote.
