Does this decode DTS-MA? The Dune website has it not supported for this player..but here it says it is? Anyone using the iPad app? I see a volume control on a pic of the app, and wanted to also know if the app controlled volume on the dune? And...

Yes, it does DTS-MA up to 7.1 channels. Either as a mkv or an image file such as an ISO. The volume works for the app but I control through my av receiver. I don't use the Zappitti application for music, Dune needs to update the interface for music to view album cover and controls on the television screen.....but for movies this unit rocks

I've heard that this device has an "easter egg" that if you hold down the last two presets, you'll be able to access 87.7. It has been confirmed by other but I can't say for myself as I haven't purchased one yet. Most likely will. Very Good Reviews everywhere you look.

Sony has been very bad about clearing this up. Unfortunately, the SonyHome Theater System HT-SS2300 does not support DTS-HD format Sound.The Home Theater System supports Digital Cinema Sound (DCS), DolbyDigital, Dolby Por Logic II, Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro Logic) andDTS Digital Surround. Now the question becomes how do we play over 1/3 of the discs out there with some kind of surround sound???

Eli - great questions. I am wondering the same things about this player. Cracking DivX function would definitely get me to buy this item. Hopefully Leonardo will get back to you before long.

Hi, I also am running into a problem with file format. When it records messages (which it does fine) it records them in dvf digital voice file which I'm trying to find out how to convert into an mp3 file. We bought the recorder so we could record sermons and add them to our website but no one has heard of this file format and our website doesn't recognize it. Beware those of you looking to transfer these files into other media, you'll be able to hear it on your computer but you can't share it unless their systems can read dvf files. Major Sigh! If anyone has an answer to converting dvf to mp3 please post.

I downloaded it just because of habit. Then I just rolled back. The download wasn't necessary for me for what I wanted to do. It says it had a few minor bugs to fix like shuffling over a folder boundry or something, but I don't use that feature anyway. I believe that the firmware it ships with allows you to play audible. I have listened to a few audible books so I know it works. I have firmware 2.51.

Hi Dswitzerinc, The graphic EQ settings are the options where in you can select various sound modes depending on the content that you're watching. Thanks. &gt;joffrey

I bought this player with the intention to use the 7.1 analog output. However, after experimenting with the player I found the standard DTS signal decoded by my receiver to be superior to the HD DTS decoded by the player. In particular, the signal to the subwoofer was very low volume and nothing I did (especially after contacting the ignorant Sony Tech analyst) could make it louder. I would definitely recommend getting the 350 and using the digital optical or coaxial port.

Yes, the current 114R firmware provides this. But it seems to be imperfect. Just yesterday, I scheduled a PBS program as a "new episodes only" series, and then found that both the 8pm airing and the 2am encore of same were flagged as New Episodes and therefore scheduled to record. Clearly, it should not happen this way. Possibly a Rovi issue.

The two answers here are right. I don't know for sure about the DTS sound quality but the sound quality of the headphones, when being used through the controller as instructed, sound very good. I played Alien: Isolation yesterday using these headphones so I wouldn't scare anyone out of their sleep and it was completely immersive. Sound detail was amazing, locations of foes and friend were nearly spot on (it is 2.0 after all), and the music soundtrack was crystal clear. Basically, it made it easier to scare the crap out of me. :) They're worth every penny. Another website has these for $49.99.

I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine. The thing is it has to be formatted to FAT32 or it won't read. I use a 128GB flash drive on two different Pioneer AVH models fine as well. According to the manual there are file and folder limits though (I think 15K file/1500folder, not positive though), so 256gb may be overkill to be honest (I do have 10K+ mp3 on my 128 with room for more). I only tried the 500GB out of curiosity.Also a note on the 160gb iPod working... that's because it runs off the iPod o/s, making the size and format irrelevant. It also runs much slower than using a usb drive as a result. I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine.

I use MX Player to play mkv, mp4, and avi movies . . . all with same name srt subtitles. You must download and install the dts audio decoder. Just do a Google search for MXplayer dts to get download link. I couldn't get VLC player to work . . . Acer not compatible, somehow. MXplayer works. Just love that MXplayer allows you to drag your finger on different areas of the screen to change volume, brightness, skip forward, skip backwards. Makes for an absolutely AWESOME 'demo'. VLC player cannot do that on my PC. MX player can also play music mp3 but this discussion is about movies. Hope this is helpful.

I have never sold one of my units on Amazon, but I did get some instructions with mine, but being a "man," I never looked at them. You did purchase the most advanced player that Sandisk ever turned out. It will take a 32 gig micro sd in the slot on the side. It will play music from anywhere you buy it. It has great features for audio books through your local library from Overdrive. It will play books from Audible without a problem. These players are getting more expensive because they are out of production and people are realizing their worth. There is one thing that I think I need to tell you. If the battery run out of juice you have to plug it in and just let it charge. Sometimes it doesn't want to come back in which case you have to play with it until it revives. Do throw it away. Hold the power button down for a long time. They sometimes if you just push the power button to "Unlock" it and then press the power button for 20 seconds it comes back. Remember these units are like Timex watches. You can kill it if you forget and go swimming in the ocean.

magic jack 2014 does not work with DTMF tones (google it if you think im lieing) and also is prone to having error code 3002 and 3004 which is random shut down (no service) codes .... DO NOT UPGRADE TRUST ME.. READ THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS

This one has HDMI 1.3 instead of 1.2, and supports DTS 5.1. The older one you have doesn't natively decode DTS. It's only passthru. Those are the major differences I know about.
