This software version includes:
• Fix for Multichannel output via coaxial out
• Add Lip Sync feature for HDMI
• Fix for Multichannel output via coaxial out when connected to HDMI
• Fix intermittent video “Jerky”

[jbernhard]

Does the "Fix intermittent video “Jerky”" mean an official fix for the packed bitstream problem?

[jagabo]

I was hoping Bodyslide would let us know!

Yeah I am anxious to see how this works as well. Thanks for testing it out, Bodyslide

Downloaded this update about a week ago and have not installed yet. the make date of this upgrade is 8-10-2006.

Is there a way to check the version # prior to the install?
My unit was mfg in oct 2006 so I was unsure if I needed to update.

This is not a new update. This is the same version - 37.06.42.29 - that was available on the Philips site since August. For some reason they renamed the "readme" PDF file, and updated the dates on the firmware page, but unfortunately nothing else is new ...

Is the same firmware as the USA one posted by "F-Swed" https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=314821&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
? Or is there a difference?
