Audio problems with UK total recall bluray

[gar1975]

Not sure this was the right place to post, so excuse me if i have posted this incorrectly...

i have been trying to watch the bluray of the latest total recall film, but its unwatchable due to constant audio drop outs & it also keeps dropping out of sync with the picture.... a mate just called me to ask about it, as his is doing the same.... is anyone else out there having similar problems? has there been any sort of announcement regarding this?

Watched it on Monday with no issues. That doesn't mean that you and your friend haven't got bad discs though. Do all other Blu-ray's work OK?

Which blu ray player is it, & is it updated to the latest firmware?

Hi Gar1975......I am 15 minutes in and have the same sound dropping issue. Must be a faulty batch of discs.

 

[bigboss]

Again, which blu ray player have you got & is the firmware latest? Sounds more like player related than a faulty batch of discs.

Hi gar1975

I've had no issues with my Blu Ray copy of Total Recall using Yamaha's BD-S1900 & Aventage BD-A1020 Blu Ray players with an Aventage RX-A3020 (HDMI) & Chord Electronics DSP8000 AV processor (fibre optic).

All the best

Seems like an issue with the disc.

Need to set the player's audio settings from bitstream to PCM to solve this.

According to some users, they tried on different player and have the same issue.

My player is the pioneer lx-71 my brothers is a panasonic, not sure of model number. both fully updated with latest software. we both got the steelbook edition from hmv. since posting on here i did some searching and found that there are a lot of people having problems & not just in the UK... i would post the link to the forum but not sure that is allowed on here? the only advice i could find was having to switch player to PCM... in my eyes, thats still a fault & i will be returning the disc to hmv today...

Guys can any one help me?? i have a sony bdps 570 and everything else plays as 5.1 however the new Total Recall will only play left and right front speakers in TrueHD 5.1. however will gladly play in 5.1 if i switch to audio descriptive . that is the 2nd selection on the audio. i know i have an old amp Sony str-db940 but everything else i have plays as 5.1 ?? Bought the new Batman movie and that works fine

Any suggestions? or is this just another fault as per the drop out mentioned earlier.

Thanks for any help ....

I had the same problem with the audio but found if I switch my blu-ray player audio output to PCM I was able to watch the movie perfectly fine. It seems to be a problem with the true HD audio track itself. Hope this helps

Same as above

Yeah, I had trouble too via my Pioneer BD Player. It's a bit of a relief as I thought my player was faulty 🙂

Ive also had sound problems playing Total Recall Blu-ray disc ,on my Cambridge 751 player , sent it back , new disc also same fault. but plays ok om my old Pioneer bdp 80 strange ...:wall:

Yep,

Some lip sync issues here with my oppo bdp105...

Rented it last week and had exactly the same problem. sound dropping out for long periods and quite a few times it dropped out for a split second. Skipping back a chapter seemed to bring the sound back.

Very annoying, glad it was only a rental (not worth buying anyway - Best bit was the super hot Kate Beckinsale 🙂 )

Put this on tonight having rented from lovefilm. Sputtering / jumping sound - was about to start cleaning the disc and then had a vague memory of this thread. Switching to PCM did indeed solve the problem, so thanks all 🙂 Film not great but given how much I love the original it had to be watched.

 

[Frank Harvey]

It was fine on my Oppo 103.

 

[BenLaw]

Would appear to be affecting some but not others, maybe an early production batch. It'll keep happening as people like me (!) won't bother to report it to lovefilm and the next person to get it will have the same problem if they bitstream.

Watched this a few weeks ago, no issues on the LX54.

BenLaw - Just had a quick look at your HIFI setup, very nice! 🙂

Don't rub it in 🙂

Very much doubt this is a player issue. My firmware is up to date and I've never have a problem with another disc, so it seems too much of a coincidence that others have had problems with this disc too.
