Question about my Panny 30

[jimfear79]

Hello All,
I have the Panny 30 and love it to death. I have had it since Jan. I watched Rambo with the PiP function on and in certain parts of the extended "making of" that appear from time to time it froze for a couple seconds. Now, I have had Rambo since the date it dropped but just got around to watch the PiP or Bonus View if you fancy yesterday, i know my bad. Also, whenever i watch Paramont Blu-Rays the special features portion always look like hell. All choppy and whatnot, a real drag. I thought the last firmware would clear this up but i guess no. This only happens on Parmount films.

I guess my question is, should i be concerned it is my player or the movie(s) themselves? Any help / comments are welcome.

Thanks,
jay

Paramount is getting back in to the swing of things with Blu-ray so it's no surpise that their discs are having issues like PiP and the inability to play at 24FPS. This is more of a studio problem than a player problem.

I would also recommend installing FW update 2.2 which recently came out to prevent any issues with DD TrueHD. While it will play correctly with some receivers it may have drop-outs with others.
