Thanks for the replies. I take it that the compression is fixed for Apple Lossless then? This table shows the compression rate as being more or less the same for both but makes no mention of variable compression rates for FLAC. I am choosing Apple Lossless so I can use then on my iPhone and...

I stumbled across the first of those articles and was going to ask the same question here. Shame that there have been no replies as I would be interested in hearing others oppinions/views.

I've been looking into moving up to lossless audio files. From what I've been able to discover, FLAC and Apple Lossless should be roughly the same file size, but I downloaded a 24-bit/44.1kHz FLAC from the Bowers & Wilkins site (about half-way down the page - search for Portico[/b]) which is...

When I select BBC iPlayer for example, an overlay pops-up saying Checking network connection Please wait.... When this disappears it just returns to the Home menu and I have to select iPlayer again, Does everyone else get this, or is it something to do with my set-up? If it's normal...

hammill:Well your TV would not have an "HDMI Deep Colour Output " setting. The instructions refer to "the player". D'oh!! My brain is obviously getting too old for speed-reading Thanks.

John Cobb:Until then, if a user switches "HDMI Deep Colour Output" to "Off", (Home > Screen settings > HDMI Deep Colour Output > Off) on the player, the issue of sound drop outs will not occur. Thanks John, but my KDL-40EX603 doesn't have an HDMI Deep Colour Output setting, at least not that I...

Yes, the hummy is running the latest version (1.00.23)

I have a Humax 9200T PVR attached to my KDL-40EX603 via SCART (AV1 on the TV) and due to a s/w bug in the Hummy causing Series Link recordings to fail when the unit is in standby I tend to leave it switched on all the time. The annoying problem is that when I turn the TV on it will auto-switch...

riggit:On the other hand can you imagine grandma buying one of these and having to burn a CD to update it? I often wonder what happens with computer illiterate people who purchase these things, I mean you should not need a degree in computer science before you purchase a BR player. Good point...

Another lurker here who has been following this thread. I installed the update and while it has got better, there is still the occasional sound drop-out. I've been watching the BBC Planet Earth series and prior to the update there would be one or two drop-outs per episode (about 50 mins long...
