I have another weird issue with my 1400.
The front speaker output on 5.1 analog are set to small so the lower freq. should be sent to the subwoofer. However, I realized that this is not happening. It can be hard to tell because the lows from all the other channels are sent to the sub also. If in doing A/B comparisons of the analog vs. digital outputs you discover that the analog bass seems weaker this is one reason why.
Here's how to tell if your player is outputting the low freq. properly. Drop in a regular CD. Since it is in stereo if you turn off the front speakers then you should hear only sounds from the subwoofer. If you hear silence then you have this issue too.
To enable my 1400 to output the front speaker lows to the sub I need to go to the Setup menu, select Audio, select Speaker Setup, hit the red button on the remote to run the test tone cycle. THEN it will output properly.
OR you can select front speakers as large, hit save, then reselect front speakers as small, hit save. THEN it will output properly.
Great! However, once I power off the unit then I need to go through the whole procedure again.
I don't know if it did this out of the box, but it certainly does after firmware 1.1 update.
Does anyone else have this stupid issue? I will be returning/repurchasing this unit in a couple of weeks to give me another month of trials until the Panasonic BD30 comes out and I can compare the two. I like this unit for a number of reasons so I would like to see if firmware will get it working better.
I too have the issues with stuttering on Spiderman 2.1
