Since it appears to be this one disc that has a problem I would think the common sense answer would be that the disc is defective...how does that sound?

get it...how does that SOUND...?

He listed about 5 discs there...

You're using HDMI, right? I'd check to make sure that the firmware is up to date on all the equipment (reciever and player).

Hi there,

your not alone with this problem - I'm having the same issue with the following titles, after selecting DTS-HD MA I get a scratching sound and loud volume highs, enough to blow the speakers.

The following titles are affected for me:-
[/LIST]Planet of the apes (68) - (note that the dts-hd ma on all 4 other apes movies in the set are fine).
For your eyes only
Die another day
Prince Caspian - Narnia
The Who live in Kilburn 977
Sting - Bring on the night

All other titles that have DTS-HD are fine, Hellboy 2, Live and let Die are recent titles that are just fine, but I have loads more that also play fine.

I have a Panasonic BD30 Blu-Ray player updated to the latest firmware (2.5) and a Pioneer VSX-LX50 A/V amp

Anybody out there have any ideas? I think maybe a new firmware is needed for the Panasonic as these are all new titles that have the problem.

Thanks in advance if anyone has the answer????

i have been having the same problem with this receiver for ages. it started with my hd-dvd of brotherhood of the wolf and now continues with my bd-30 on the following titles while using my pioneer 91-txh:

die hard 1-3
sunshine (special features only)
the uk bd of the assembly
and it does it on my nice, brand new set of band of brothers
korean bd of taegukgi

i emailed pioneer once again about this since they claim that this is not a known problem to them. when they write back, i will provide a link of these posts.

i have tried several different hdmi cables with this but the same problem happens with my blu-ray and hd-dvd player, it has to be the receiver. my bd-30 is up to date on the firmware as well.

well, i got sick of waiting for pioneer to address the issue, so i just made panasonic a little richer by buying a bd-35 so that i can decode internally and not have to worry about the 91-txh having to do anything other than sit there and pass the signal through to the speakers.

If everyone looks at the 2 threads (Here and this one), it seems that the Pioneer VSX94/91thx receivers are having the issue. Check into that for those still having issues.

There is a firmware update available for the 91TXH apparently as the following response from Pioneer indicates:

Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.
Yes, there is a firmware update for the VSX-91TXH. The service center below can update it for you.
