westendboy Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Beware... It says clearly in the auction description that it will only make the Sony player multi-region for DVD only. It cannot make your Blu-ray playback region free
tsammyc Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Managed to get Netflix to show up by resetting everything and then hooking to a StrongVPN router, but it doesn't work :(
audiovideo Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 is there any cinavia problem with China pressed disc on S790? thought of getting the S4100
hOmEtHeAtRe Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Anyone knows where I can buy the s790 in Singapore? I missed the opportunity to buy it in Hong Kong recently. It was selling at HKD2000.
sky1624705740 Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Is there a new replacement of S790 coming up soon? Went to the Sony Centre and the salesperson hinted that a new model is on its way. Not sure how true it is. Can't seem to find much news on the internet.
kopiorgau Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 If this BRay player does not have a Slow-Motion feature, can anyone recommend one with slow motion feature as I am trying to learn Chinese exercise and the steps need to be slowed down for easy learning.
hOmEtHeAtRe Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Hello, Not sure if discussed before. I just installed my s790. Set audio to Bitstream, played a BD with DTS-HD set. But my AVR displayed 'multi channel PCM' when playing. Is there something else I need to set?
kopidilo Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 welcome to the s790 family bro! is your 'bd audio mix' = off?
Sound Affairs Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Hi, For any Bro who wants better performance video and audio for their S790, here it is: http://www.xtremeplace.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=143886.0 Cheers James
askarmelayu Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Something wrong with my remote, can't seem to leave the batteries in it, remote will drain them within a day. Do it have anything to do with the player since I have never update the software since June 2012?
wizardofoz Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Sounds like a button stuck down or total fault...should still be under warranty no?

skong121176 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 can pm me where at toa payoh central exactly? Thanks
francis wu Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 The Pioneer BDP 450 is a good alternative if you don't care about 4K!
kill_bill Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Go to Toa Payoh central then to the row of shops facing each other u will an electrical shop that is an authorised sony dealer. Walk inside the player displayed near the cashier/admin table. Happy hunting & enjoy!

francis wu Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 Frankly, this will be my next buy when the FD 23 Elite dies on me!! :P Have you updated the firmware to run multi coded as well as to get rid of Cinavia!! Works only if unit is in version 4.++ only :P
kazuya Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 My set came with the official 2.09 firmware, which has Cinavia. But I managed to get it to 4.++
sushi Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 any place I still can get this player brand new?
KBL Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 My S790 player have short intermittent sound muting through out some more recent movies e.g. Monster University. When I play the same movies on my older samsung blu ray player, there is no such muting. Any bro has similar problem and suggested solution?
