Hard Target 4K UHD (1993)

[HDMan72]

Just got back and wow! Great news that they'll have a replacement program. I just opened mine and checked and yes, to confirm the trolly pans to right speaker. I'll admit if it wasn't for this finding I don't think I would have noticed. Now, that 2.0 track is really bonked. Dialogue coming out of all my speakers but at least the train panned to the left speaker correctly. This disc got really passed by QC.

Hows the compression, anyone?

Thank you very much for addressing this and doing so quickly and professionally. Much appreciated. I am really looking forward to watching this one!

Lol @ the people saying the audio was fine and they didn’t notice anything wrong with it. Even Kino themselves admitted it is botched. Seriously, do you even know what some of you are talking about? SMH.

Thanks HDMan, I felt like I was on an island for a couple of days.

Great job Kino -- and they should look at correcting the 2.0 track while they are at it.

GeekGab had also tweeted and deleted a post about how forum members here were trolling because they couldn't detect the botched audio.

I will hold out until shops get the right disc instead before ordering.

When there is a replacement program, I actually very much prefer having the faulty disc already, since I won't have to worry about the right time to place an order to get the fixed copy - I'll just ask for the replacement instead.

And I hope the kind people at Kino will take care of their international customers as well.

Did you check your head for left and right issues though?

We found them! It's you.

I'm an international customer so I will wait and see.

When I read your last post and someone doubting your claim I was like I have to open this now, hear it and confirm it. I really enjoy 2.0 tracks so yes, hopefully they fix that too.

I can tell you right now: They'll tell you to F*** off.

So am I and am still hoping for the best. If they don't, I think I'd be a first with an import for me (Arrow, Shout, Vinegar, Warner, Sony, Disney you name it - I always received replacements from abroad), which is also why I am optimistic. And yes, let's wait and see.

The 2.0 is a downmix of the 5.1 track.

And isn't the 5.1 audio left right swapped?

So International buyers are screwed as it clearly says on that form “We only ship replacements to the USA and Canada”
