Recently bought this player from an open box sale,after reading all the favourable reveiws.
But i did notice all the cons against it says that it does'nt support dvd-audio,and on page 41 of the
manual under discs it can't play dvd-audio is in the list.
So just for the hell of it i put my Ziggy Stardust dvd-audio in the player and lo and behold it plays it
no problem,shows the menu and pumps out DTS 5.1.Also tried my Fragile (Yes) dvd-audio and once
again it played it no problem..
Just wondering why this player is reveiwed everywhere saying does not support dvd-audio when it does.

It does seem to appear that a FW update (at some point), has rectified that issue.
On a side note, I also have the 1000X3D, and love it.

Hi there
I can only think of the following 3 scenarios on this
- All the reviews are wrong - In the specifications of this player, it doesnt say anything about DVD-Audio. Maybe all the reviews just took their information from the specs without actually testing it.
- Firmware update - Sony might have released a firmware update to this player. New players have this firmware automattically applied. But the specifications page has not been updated, hence reviews not updated.
- Your wrong - The Ziggy Stardust DVD you have is not actually a DVD-Audio disc, just a normal DVD.
At the end of the day, if this player is doing more than you expected, its a bonus. Well Done!
Cheers

Hi Quinnicus,
Thanks for your reply.I was thinking your second senario seems the most logical with the firmware update.
When i set the player up it already had the latest firmware version which was released in May 2013.
Yes this is quite a bonus having it play sacd and dvd-audio,because i noticed players that support both
these formats tend to be high end players like oppo or denon etc which are over my budget at the moment.
Yes both the discs i tried are deffo dvd-audio Yes fragile and Ziggy stardust both with DTS 5.1.
PS change log on firmware update does't mention dvd-audio now supported.

Just had a reply on another forum,and a poster reckons it will play the dvd-audio but does'nt play
the audio back on full resolution like a dedicated dvd-audio player would.
I will have to investicate this further.
