I have called their tech support & they said they didn't think there would be an upgrade for the advanced audio codecs as far as they knew.
I'm hoping their 2nd generation Blu-Ray player will have the advanced codecs & HDMI 1.3 on it so I can but a Pioneer Elite unit. That's the only reason I went with the Panny for the 1st generation unit.

This is curious as I just received the following email from them asking about the Elite Blu-ray player and the HDMI 1.3 receivers. I also confirmed this with their technical support team.

Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc
The Blue-ray does have the 1.3 capabilities. As far as the new products that
will be out in the new year we have no information on them until after the
Consumer Electronics Show thats held in Las Vegas.
The dates for the show is January 8-11,2007.
Thank You,

Inquiry:Hello I am interested in two things.
1) Will the upcoming Pioneer Elite Blu-ray player have HDMI 1.3 capabilities
2) When might we see the first HDMI 1.3 enabled receivers from Pioneer?
I have an Elite DV45a and VSX1014TX and am looking forward to upgrading to
HDMI and Blu-ray, but I don't want to do so until the DTS-MA compatible
receiver is out.
Thanks for your help
