Hi Gary

Could you please confirm the following:

1. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the region free would be automatic for DVD and manual for Blu-ray. Is that incorrect?

2. I assume that all the output formats mentioned above as available from HD-SDI are also available on HDMI. Is that correct?

3. Any confirmed date for availability of region free?

Thanks


Colin, the region free mod will be manual, not automatic, the unit is powered down and the region changed on the remote, then powered back up, takes about 10 seconds

480i, 576i, 720p/50, 720p/60, 1080i/50, 1080i/60 and 1080p/24 are available via the HD-SDI output

region free and HD-SDI will be available soon, still being worked out, won't be much longer now and may coincide perfectly with the release of stock to dealers in a few weeks

thanks
