That is absolutely the case. You must set the 950 to 6 or 7 speaker mode or else it will default to standard DTS. I'm sure you will find that you have the bug once you get everything configured properly.

Just kidding, I actually do flip the recombine switch on for movies that are radical, and off for everything else.
I need to retest anyway, as I'm thinking about something else I read about in one of the postings. Before I do retest though, what are your thoughts on this:
DTS-ES is a 6.1 enhanced surround format correct? Now,in my case, I have but 5.1 speakers and only these enabled in the 950. Am I correct in now assuming that even when I select the DTS-ES track within the discs menu, the 950 will only give me DTS ?
What makes me think this is that the 950 briefly displays DTS-ES when I select it, but then the display flips back to DTS. DTS-ES does not remain on the display as I believe it should. If this is actually happening, then my test result from yesterday is flawed !
I believe I must reset the 950 to 6.1 to fool it into thinking i have the extra surround and retest ??
And now I read about another wrench in the works, Center channel not redirecting bass frequencies - Man this all starting to sound like a Microsoft scenario: the-public-is-our-research-and-development-program philosophy!

Thanks Chris, I set the 950 to 6.1 and you have now given me the bug!
No - thats wrong, you just showed me that I already had it!
Guess it would be unusual for me to be one of the few that don't have this fault.
Giant Kudos to Outlaw though for their attention to solving this, and their well documented amazing service after the purchase. This level of service and this forum are the reasons I went with Outlaw, and I could not be happier.
That is, other than the fact that all too often these days it appears that we consumers are buying products that are hardware/software based and are released without a complete test. Microsoft springs to mind at a great rate of speed. I know manufacturers sometimes have to replace a part along the way on the production line with one that is supposedly identical, but at that stage the product becomes an unproven entity.
Every item I bring home these days must be put through the wringer to see if it actually does all it is supposed to. A very high percentage fail !
Example, my Pioneer DV45A is awaiting replacement because when I finally purchased a couple of DVDA's, it would not play them!
Maybe this is the price we pay for not being able to afford the very best of everything !
Do people that can afford a garage full of Ferraris have these problems ?

Has anyone received and installed, err had installed, the fixed eprom? We're there any other changes/fixes beside the LFE problem?

Received the "No LFE on DTS-ES" fix today. Installed the chip and tested my system. The fix worked. I just want to thank Scott and THE OUTLAWS for the great customer service and a great product. Thanks again

Anyone's unit NOT show this bug?

Well I have it :\

Only shows up when I set my Rear Surrounds to large NOT my Mains. But the LFE signal for sure cuts out.

Hi, how do you know for SURE if your 950 needs the upgrade? Ordered 3-17 and it shipped on the 18th. I assumed I was ok but filled out an upgrade form just in case. I figured since I had to include my serial number that if my unit did not need the upgrade I would not get the kit. But I did get it. So my question is... do I, or do I not, need the upgrade? I have not hooked up my unit, waiting for other components ,cables, etc.

Thanks,

Mike

According to Scott's initial post, all orders placed after 3/14 include the new code, so yours is fine.

Hello Mike,

You were sent the kit because you had requested it. Unfortunately, I forgot to confirm your need for the update. Any order shipped after the 14th of March contains the updated code.

Scott
