Features of the new update (version 752BD(CU)-15-1204) include;
1. Added the "Power On Input" selection which allows the customer to decide which input source should be used when the player powers on. This selection is available at the Setup Menu -> Playback Setup.
2. Added the “4Kx2K Output” selection to Setup Menu -> Video Setup with two settings: “Auto” and “Forced”. The “Auto” setting will upscale 24 Hz content to 4K if the connected display supports a 4K input. The “Forced” setting will output a 4K signal regardless of whether or not the player detects a 4K display and irrespective of the original source format.
3. Added the "Auto" mode when choosing the SACD output audio format. This mode is available at the Setup Menu -> Audio Format Setup -> SACD Output.
4. Added support for automatic file and folder sorting when accessing SMB servers. The files and folders are now sorted in alphabetic order.
5. Added support for MKV files with PGS subtitles.
6. Added Zoom functionality to video content sent through the HDMI IN ports.
7. Improved support for CUE playlists. Now, a single CUE file can point to multiple music files in the same folder.
8. Resolved a playback issue with several DVD-Audio discs. Customers reported that some DVD-Audio discs would play for a few seconds then the player was locked up, and all you heard was white noise. Samples include “Elvis: 30 #1 Hits”, “Bruckner: Symphony No. 7”, “Dream Theater”, “Nightwish: Once”, as well as discs self-authorized using “HD-Audio Solo Ultra” program.
9. Resolved a frame rate decoding error for 24 Hz video files. Customers reported that many MKV, M2TS and TS files which were encoded as 23.976 Hz were decoded as 29.970 Hz. This issue has been resolved.
10. Resolved a compatibility issue with some DVD/BD blank discs. Customers reported that their self-burnt DVD or BD discs failed to load and play on the players. Samples include Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5G and BD-R DL 50GB blank discs. This firmware upgraded the software driver for the disc loader and resolved this issue.
11. Resolved a compatibility issue with JRiver Media Center software. Customers reported they could no longer see the JRiver's DLNA server in the list of My Network. This issue has been resolved in the official release.
12. Resolved a channel mapping error in the DSD file playback, Customers reported that if they set the "Stereo Signal" to "Front Left/Right", switched off the player then switched it on again, and played 2-channel DSD files from external storage, the Front Left channel sound could also be heard from the Surround Right output. This issue has been resolved in the release.
13. General disc compatibility improvements based on recent and upcoming Blu-ray releases as well as user-submitted disc samples, sample title includes "The Longest Day (Blu-ray, 2012)".
