Most importantly, have you retyped the G98?

Second. I had the clicking in the G68 when I first upgraded. This, and an apparently unstable picture concerned me so I reflashed and got problems. Since the upgrade, I only temporarily connected the G98 so I have not connected sound so cannot comment on the clicking.

It may be that the clicking went away when I retyped, it maybe that it is still there. My apparent picture instability was to do with me viewing a menu on a my sons DVD that I was unfamiliar with - Madagascar - the crates on the beach juddered but trying this in another player it behaves the same.

As for blanking when a disc is played, I think this has got worse. I think it is my display resynching to input - the only thing that I can think of it that it needs to do this when HDCP is triggered at the start of the main feature so a bit of handshaking needs to go on. I have asked Meridian for an option to keep HDCP active irrespective of the copy protect flag on the source material. Either that or for some reason the output of the G98 is being blanked - this may also trigger the clicking of the G68. If this is the case, its a retrograde step and maybe the G98 should output a blank screen instead. I notice something about implementing an HDMI mute function - not sure what this is but maybe it is related.
Ian,
The clicking mentioned is the mechanical clicking from the G98, I have no sound problems.
It seems to be when switching between tasks.

I have done a re-type but the problem remains. It does seem to be a HDCP issue as I had the same with 1.73 but got no splash screen, it seems to go a little further now, my screen is a Pioneer 434HDE.

I've now managed to get it working with the disks after a hard reset, the problem now seems to only happen when starting from standby.

It looks like I'm going to have to switch off at the back each time I want to play a different disk.

Surely these sort of problems should have been detected prior to release but I also understand that the screen could be part of the problem. confused
