This problem with certain DVD's is really no ones fault. You mention the 1050 "decoding Issues" but we could also blame the DVD company for installing a sound track not playable by every receiver, or mabe we go back and scold Dolby for inventing 5.1 EX. How can OUTLAW be responsiable for the fact thier 1050 design of 4 or 5 years ago doesnt match todays latest technology? I recently read a small article that states DVD's are going to high def. video in a couple of years so all current DVD players may be useless. Who is at fault then? I know it a pain not hearing Harry Potter in all its glory but out of a 100 or so DVD's Ive played only 2 had a problem. when its all said and done, thats just the way it is.
