Star Trek: TNG S1 Blu-ray set has an audio flaw, free replacements are available

Posted in: Today's Chili

Soon after the Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One Blu-ray set launched last week reports came in that there was an audio problem with the surround sound, and now CBS and Paramount have responded. According to a statement (included after the break) the problem is isolated to the English 7.1 DTS Master Audio track on some episodes where the front channels are mapped incorrectly. If you own the set, you can email (phe.stng@bydeluxe.com) or call (877-335-8936 between 8AM and 6PM PT) for replacements of Discs 1, 3 and 4, simply have your set nearby and ready to read the code located on the inner ring. You won’t need to send in your discs, and the replacements are expected to ship after August 10th and take up to five days to arrive.

Onkyo to deliver 11.4 DTS Neo:X surround sound on latest receivers

Onkyo to deliver 114 DTS NeoX surround sound on latest receivers

While still a far cry from 64 speakers, Onkyo and DTS teamed up to bring the first 11.4 channel surround sound to your home theater. At the top of the trio of new receivers is the TX-NR5010. It is the only one that’s THX certified, but like the TX-NR3010, it can drive 9 speakers and has pre-outs for four subs as well as two more channels. $2999 is the price you’ll pay for the best, with a $700 price break when you move one model down the line to the TX-NR3010. Last up, but still shipping in July with 11.4 support, is the TX-NR1010 with its seven channel amp at $1799. DTS Neo:X is the name of the up-mix technology that uses a single algorithm to take anything from a 2.0 signal to 11.1 and converts it to 11.4. The other first here is Cisco Linksys SimpleTap — also coming to the entire 2012 Onkyo lineup of network receivers via a firmware update — which promises to deliver a simpler network setup. For more of the juicy details, have a quick look over the press release below.
