Installing the v1.17 firmware update to my BDP-51FD solved the audio/video synchronization issues that I was having, particularly with the Ironman movie. It also definitely speeded up the loading of BR discs.

Installed the firmware v1.17 to my Pioneer BDP-51FD. Easy inatallation instruction to follow. Approx 30 mins to complete the update. Thanks to Pioneer's engineer. Keep up the good work.
Solved the slow loading problem from approx 3 to 5 mins to about 1 to 2 mins. Hope a better performance improvement in future firmware update.

Has anybody done comparison, Pioneer BDP-51FD speed/performance (after firmware update) Vs Panasonic DMP-BD35.
FYI, WhatHiFi AWARDS 2008 CATEGORY - DVD & BLU-RAY PLAYERS has awarded BEST BLU-RAY PLAYER £200 - £300 to Panasonic DMP-BD35.

Please let me know of any thread comparing Pioneer BDP-51FD (after firmware update) Vs Panasonic DMP-BD35.

Thanks & Regards: ar4346
