Please use this thread to describe your system problems and
the firmware/version number of your machine.
The DAV-S (550 and 880) suffer from subtitles bug with firmware
version 1.07, and is apparently not field upgradable. [Subtitles
randomly come on, but almost always on layer change.] There
is also a video level improvement which was made after the V1.07
units.
I have a DAV-S550 which is new stock (received by Sony
Hong Kong in mid-December) v1.24 which has a video glitch
on layer change problem:
Using the component/progressive outputs the ?last frame?
of layer 1 stays on the screen until the ?laser refocuses on layer
2? of an (NTSC) DVD.
You can find your version by:
1) eject disk
2) press stop and display on main unit while turning volume knob
to the right (e.g. clockwise).
Exit the service menu by standby on the remote, or power
off.
If your machine gets upgraded by Sony, please tell us the new
version number.
Thanks,
Sam
P.S. presume similar results with DAV-S550, DAV-S880,
DAV-C770, DAV-C990 .
