Happy Brithday Old Skool D and everyone else celebrating a birthday today

* Re-posted on behalf of Kain after I accidentally deleted some of the orignal topic (doh!) Part II ----------- MD-133 (Hi-MD Deck) ----------- Short Comments : Rec and editing features on the front side. Play / Stop / Pause, FF and FR buttons. Two optical inputs on the back side (TOS link provided). There is a jogdial as well. Large display. The size of the remote sold with the MD-133 make it more friendly and easy to use compared to the one sold with the A-933. (Many thanks to Wizard of Oz for the TI-352 transformer ) ----------- T-433 (Tuner AM/FM) ----------- Short Comments : The T-433 and the MD-133 share the same size. Timer, Band and Tunning / Preset fonctions on the front side. No remote control. RDS compatibility. Part III ----------- Onkyo D-302E (Loudspeaker) ----------- Short Comments : Very heavy, the building quality is excellent. I find the D-302E really gorgeous without their foam protections. They are sold with a pair of Monster Cable (XP series). Sound quality : Pretty difficult to say as they still require a burn-in period. On the top of that, I still have the sound of a 150.000 euros speakers system in mind (the Focal - JM Lab Grande Utopia were presented by a Hi-Fi store next to my place last week ) The treble and the middle range are improving CDs after CDs, MDs after MDs, and seem to have a good potential (refined sound). Bass are deep which is really surprising for that size of speakers.

Happy New Year to all the MDCF members! Thanks for your continued support in 2008 and hope you hvae a great 2009!

A further update for the BDP-S300 has been released - version 4.40 corrects minor playback issues with some of the latest discs. Euro version here The BDP-S500 has had version 4.20 released and that is here for Europe. The US support pages don't have these latest versions up yet but when they do the links from the previous post should still be valid to get the latest files. I experienced a couple of lock ups on The Dark Knight on the S300 which were not major but which I'm hoping this fixes.

A further update for the BDP-S300 was released today. Version 4.30 corrects some playback issues with the latest discs, notably the latest Bond re-issues. It contains no new functionality and is available from the Sony US / Europe support sites.

Just watched Iron Man on BD.

Be aware that the links above are for the BDP-S300 & S500 models. For the BDP-S350 there is a firmware update available which adds the BD-Live functionality, which if you cannot connect it to your internet connection via the ethernet port to use the network update feature, you can download the firmware from Sony Support and make an update disc as was the case for updating older models.

Last two films / releases I watched this week were - You Don't Mess With The Zohan & Pride & Prejudice on Blu-Ray.

I have a Sony PRS-505 Reader which I have had since July and it is great. Extremely well built, simple to use and a great battery life.

Just watched Big Deal On Madonna Street (I Soliti Ignoti)

ALC should hopefully be back up by Monday. Both MDCF and ALC were moved to a new server and there were some issues post-move for AtracLife.

I am sorry that the site is still down, Chris is currently looking into it, but is still trying to work out the cause of the outage. Obviously he is trying to fit this in around his regular daily work schedule so it may still take a little while. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I spoke to him yesterday and he was looking into it. We're still trying to establish what the cause was. But it's a good excuse for you guys to get busy posting over here.

Yeah, I'm working on it. :-) Sorry I took my eye off the ball.
