Got the player LX-71 off the net after three days decided to update the firmware to tweak (I know you may be thinking why do that? well if it’s on Pioneers’ site you can’t blame me can you?)
Burnt the ISO to disc followed the instructions by the book and guess what?
It won’t work now and it has been collected by the Pioneer repair men other then the rather flaky firmware update its been fantastic
I have a Sony RDR HXD910 I thought that was the dogs until I viewed the picture on my PDPR0 plasma but the picture and sound are so clear and full of detail it’s almost 3D I caqnt wait to get it back (with the firmware on :-) hopefully)
The update benefits
- Enhances stability of BD-Java playback (*)
- Fixes the case that the player does not work properly in combination operation of pause, fast-forward, and so on.
- Enhances the synchronization with audio and video during playback.
- Performance improvement
* The player's action can be slower than expected depending on contents (menu, game, etc.) included in certain BD-Java discs.
This is the error
Q: A "WRT FAILED" message is displayed on the front panel display.
A: Remove the UPDATE disc from the disc tray.?@Press "STANDBY/ON" on the player's front panel to turn off the power, then turn the power back on. If the power cannot be turned off, press and hold "STANDBY/ON" on the player's front panel for over 5 seconds. The power will tune off.
Please confirm the version of player's firmware after it turns on power. The disc of the same version and an old version cannot be updated.
Please turn on the update disc again when the version is correct. The update continues.
When the update doesn't continue or the power supply doesn't enter, it is necessary to repair. In such an event, call Pioneer Customer Support Center.

Just hooked mine upto my pioneer sc-lx81 amp sounds fantastic on dts hd master audio watching broken arrow.
Definitely recommend apart from all the updates you have to download from the pioneer website. The lazy g--- at pioneer won't send me an update disc.

Got this player a few weeks ago replacing a panasonic DMP-BD50. Using HDMI into a panasonic 37PX70 plasma and a Infocus IN76 projector. 7.1 analogue outputs into a Denon AV1SR.
Picture is stunning, you can manually adjust output to 1080P/24Hz (unlike the pana if it doesnt like your display), and you can manually adjust every other picture setting, a little tinkering and the picture just gets better and better.
Sound is monumental, DD HD transformers sounds massive. DTS sounds great to. Before i bought the player Pioneer assured me that a firmware update for on board DTS HDmaster audio decoding will be available start of next year (cant wait!)
1 gripe Pioneer, the remote has no back light so using it in the dark is a bloody pain!, apart from that, GREAT!! this is what blu ray should have been like a year ago! Go buy it, you wont be disappointed...

Not bothered about BD-Live! I just want my LX-71, the wait is killing me off. When are we getting it? that's the only thing I need to know.

Really looking forward to this player, I have it on order. I do wonder if I will miss the BD-Live or not??? I wonder whether Pioneer will offer BD-Live firmware upgrade later, or if this will even be possible?
It has the performance you’ve dreamed of, all the features you’ll ever need. For the money, the DMP-BD55 offers unbelievable value for money
