Samsung's BD-UP5000 leaking into stores? {Engadget HD}
Jan 2nd 2008 6:17PM I got mine through the Best Buy For Business website a couple of weeks ago.
The player is currently crippled in terms of audio; it does not output any of the advanced audio formats (Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD, multichannel Dolby True HD, or DTS-HD Master Audio).
This is been discussed at length on AVS Forum, with conflicting rumors about whether Samsung will be issuing a firmware update to correct the audio problems.
Editors of Engadget HD, if you have any contacts at Samsung who could provide definitive information about firmware plans, it would be very helpful to those deciding whether to buy (or keep) this player.
