I'm kind of surprised at the seriousness of the compatability issues with Pioneer products. It's not like Pioneer is some obscure product. I'm confident that they will work very hard to fix the issue. I'm not quite as confident that it can be. We'll see. It might have been a mistake to go with the Marvell chipset instead of the ABT. There are a lot of issues with HDMI1, not just with Pioneer products. If it's not fixed by general release, I will return it and probably go with te Denon. My 2010, while not lightning quick, has actually been my steadiest player. It has only required 2 firmware updates since the initial update when I received it.
