Yes, the HD621 acts as a HDMI terminator (sink) when your display device is off. It switches over automatically.

I`ve sorted out my compatibility issue with 1.08. I had 1.04 working fine and as soon as I loaded 1.05 and 1.08 I developed video & audio problems. The actual problem was that the system couldn`t lock on the DSP setting. It was constantly swiching between Trifield and Cinema. It would only occur at the PS3 menu or when playing Bluray. It was fine when playing a DVD as it would lock onto Cinema DSP and stay there.

I checked all my settings again but still couldn`t resolve the problem. I then decided to replace the HDMI cable and it is now working fine. So much for the whizz bang expensive, up to date 1.3a, deep colour support HDMI cable. Plugged in my original bargain basement cable and it did the trick.

So has everyone that updated to 1.08 have a perfectly functioning HD621 then?

Thank you Malcolm. I've completed my HD621 install and tested...all formats perform as you say...no display needed and that's great for me. Wonder if it's always been this way, at dealer's we had audio drop out when video was off. But I'm on 1.07, not the very latest. Thank you again. JimK

I do - 1.0.8 has shown no flaws yet (but there again, I saw very few with previous releases). I use mine everyday and I have no problems. Since I picked my HD621 up on the day of HH2, I think I've only had to reboot twice - just lucky, I guess.

Alright then, will upgrade to 1.0.8 later this evening..

I had to re-run mconfig and so was inspired to try once more the 1.08 fw. Before I attempted the upgrade I checked how 1.05 performed on powering on and switching between sources and there was a double-click mild audio splat and this was tolerable with very quick lock-in. Then I tried the 1.08 and had 6 audio-splats followed by blinking HS=Y lights and then it finally locked-in. Needless to say I reverted back to 1.05.



If anyone has tracked a difference between the two versions, them please chime in. Thank you.

Yes moving from 1.04 to 1.08 gives a slight audiosplat when changing between sources.

Please add your setup so it`s easier seeing .....What u have!

1.08 feels "snappier" though I think.

I have analogue speakers and no "splat" problems.

Now I have tried different discs and settings, I reckon the 1.08 is "faster" in some way at relaying HDMI data to the projector as I get less flickering and colour flashes on the screen when output modes change.

Thank you gentlemen for the replies. I will remain at 1.05 since for me "faster" is gauged exclusively on boot-up and in my setup 1.08 takes too long to lock-in and the prolonged splat clicks are upsetting to my sensitivities.

Will wait for 1.1
