Is that the LX500?That is the same as my current Pioneer save for the crashing.

I'm simply not buying a sony BDP now, I'm jumping to Panny. Im fed up with this stupid menu option change on a per disc basis. If I forget to change back from DV then my next disc turns the TV to DV even if it isn't DV and then I have to quit the loading and set it all up. Really really frustrating and having to pour over the blu ray box to try and find out if its DV or not, I Bin half my cases and store the discs in wallets so its no good to me.
I have $200 in my amazon account.com account and when it is transferred to my .co.uk account I will be ordering a Panny. They seem to have amazing video quality too!
And so what?But does it support HDMI 2.1 and VRR, for things like seamless frame rate matching of content? Or is that for next year's model?
Only takes a second but its a pain in the backside working out what discs are Dolby vision and which aren’t from the disc packaging alone.
Doubt They wpuld notice DV playbackSounds like the Pana's are the better players then, insert the disc and forget about it!
Wouldn't even want to start explaining to my wife (and kid) how they need to change settings on a per disc basis

Nope but to be honest I can leave it on with my TV. But it will be different for other TVs.What do you mean, the X700 doesn't auto detect DV ?
It doesn't know if it's a DV disc. It's switchable and not on all the time. Has some use in that you can compare a DV disc with it on or off for HDR10, or force a HDR10 disc to play in DV. Some people make a big fuss it's not auto but it takes seconds to change.
Yes. If you switch it on, it plays all discs in DV whether they are HDR10, SD Blu-ray and presumably DVD.Are you saying that you have to go into the settings to change to Dolby Vision ?? I bought the 700 for friends months ago & to my knowledge we haven't had to go into any settings ? ( They have a LG C7 TV. )
You have to go in at least once to turn DV on AFAIK. I had to after the DV firmware update. Might be different for newer players which have the DV firmware update already factory installed.Are you saying that you have to go into the settings to change to Dolby Vision ??

No, if it isn't selected DV in the player is off, and as it takes two to do the DV tango you wouldn't get DV showing on the TV.Oh right, didn't know that. I assume we made sure DV was selected in the player menu, but i can't recall ?
So if it isn't selected, then the LG TV is doing the DV, so to speak !
A clear indication DV is on in a X700.Dolby Vision appears on the screen, no matter what disc is being played.
It's been released in the USA but not so far in the UK. Expected in late summer to autumn AFAIK. Amazon.de has availability as 1 - 3 months, amazon.fr as 1-2 months.Can’t find this player anywhere no London retailers have it Sony rep at John Lewis never heard of this new player and Sony UK unable to assist in availability. It is a disgraceful and shoddy state of affairs IMO highly unprofessional.does anyone know if this actively available in the UK??
