Another perfect example how content protection is out of control.

There seems to be a problem with the player not being able to play all DVD-A's. The article went on to say that a firmware update is or soon will be available from Pioneer. If you own one you might want to check the Pioneer website for more info.

That sucks, I thought it was going to be something cool like there was an easy workaround so you could get send a 192/24 signal through the digital outs

I still think it's silly that we have to pay for expensive DAC's in both the source and the receiver/processor, when we only use one or the other... in the futute maybe all DVD-players will have video processing only, and act as a transport to pass the digital audio signal

except I don't think you'll see SACD being able to pass through digital outputs until they can find a better way to control copying of material...

That's why it only plays through the analog outs you know...so that we can't record it digitally...

Thanks for the linke Frank. That was very helpful. I purchased one just a few weeks ago.
