   - When HD Audio pass-through is off with HD audio stream, playback may not be smooth
   - When DTS audio setting is digital, HDMI audio is ON and HD audio pass-through is set to ON, then audio is not heard on the SPDIF output
   (For the same setting, if HDMI audio is set to OFF, then audio is HEARD on the SPDIF output.)

   - Digital output for AAC/WMA is disabled
   - Does not support PCM audio track on MP4 now

% Known issues for audio and pictures related
   - For MP3 files with low sampling frequency, the TVIX might crash while playing or trick play like FF or RW.

% Known issue for Network
   - BD ISO playback through Network.
•   It stutters most of the times. It is because mounting ISO as a drive overhead is too much for 6500 CPU.
•   So, it looks like hardware limitation. We are trying to optimize it but it may not result to success.
•   We recommend to use IFO structure.
   - If you play files without refreshing the file list after delete files through FTP or SAMBA server, the system will reboot.
   - 1G option may or may not work better than 10/100M mode depends on the network environment

% Known issues for PVR
   - After channel changed, you may not here audio in short time. This is the bug from the chip manufacturer. To solve this, you can press DTV key or Audio key on the remote.
   - Adjusting value of Brightness, Contrast and Saturation isn’t applied when DTV and component out before rebooting or going out and back to DTV mode again.

% Known issues for UPnP
   - Audio Playlist, Icon view and Thumbnail view are not supported
   - Some internet radio may not be supported

% Known issues for Upgrading
   - After upgrading firmware, if tvix keeps boot and loading repeatedly or does not work properly, downgrade to 1.2.52 firmware in safe mode and then upgrade it again.

*** If you play files with HD audio tracks like Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD MA or LPCM, you'd better turn on HD Audio pass through on the setup even though you don’t have a receiver that supports decoding of these formats. Otherwise, you will hear strange noise with some repetitive popping noise. Currently, we don’t support core decoding, if you don’t have a HD audio decoder receiver, you need to select other then these HD audio tracks audio track for now.

Regards,

* Since the setup has been changed, please upgrade through USB device if you don't have an internal HDD. If you upgrade the firmware through network without an interanl HDD, you will loose the setup.

Dear Customers, Release Note Changes from v1.1.21 (The version inside the initial shipped product) *TViX should be booted freshly before firmware upgrade for safer upgrade.* *This firmware is for M-6500A only* 1. Embedded subtitle support in MKV file has been stabilized. (No image subtitle support yet) 2. Stutter when watching 24Hz movies with 24Hz output fixed. 3. Some bugs related to DTV scheduled recording have been fixed. 4. Wavepack support added (Still need more testing) APE is not working yet. WMA lossless is not supported (We are checking whether we can implement this) 5. 1000M(Giga) bit option in Network setting has been added. You need CAT6 cable to connect M-6500A to Gigabit HUB. We find high bit HD content plays fine with SMB connection when it stutters with 10/100 connection. But it will play fine with NFS(Netshare or Linux PC) even with 10/100. l The result may vary depends on the LAN environment. Even though we used Gigabit LAN chip, the performance is slightly better than 10/100. So, we do not advertize M-6500A as Gigabit device. You can check the LAN mode by the LED light on the LAN JACK. 10/100 : Green Giga : Yellow 6. Factory Default menu added in the configuration MENU. 7. Added Luminance Level menu - Auto/ 0 –255/ 16-235 When Auto, it will follow the information that Display device sends through HDMI. 8. Not supporting USB external DVD(CD)-ROM bug fixed 9. Problem when copying from TViX to PC using TViX as SAMBER server fixed. Known problems and issues 1. Trick play and audio change problems still exists when playing tp(ts,m2ts..) files or large AVI files. 2. JPEG slide show and music play enhancement is under development. 3. Content with AAC audio play has some problems. 4. TrueHD and DTS HD MA pass though using HDMI is under development. 5. There is a report on compatibility with USB external storage. 6. M-6500A can be overheated and fail to work when used without installing HDD inside. This is the problem of air flow. We are sorry but please insert HDD as dummy. We are preparing a dummy structure that will make air flow better without the HDD. This will be factory inserted when it is ready. 7. Some DVDs will crash when you do DVD menu navigation using DVD Juke box feature(ISO, IFO play) 8. IFO file play stutters when playing through network using Netshare. Using SAMBA is OK. 9. m3u file playing does not work now. 10. Wrong length of MP3 VBR. 11. Some USB storage device does not work with TVIX. 12. Some problem of audio playing with lyrics. 13.
