I've had this unit for about a month now. Its my 1st BluRay purchase and I'm very happy with this unit. I've only noticed audio dropouts while watching the Rattatoulie and the latest Rambo movie only. They are hard to notice unless your looking for them.

 

Well, I've now noticed audio dropouts while watching Blade Runner and Untraceable as well.  This is after the first firmware upgrade released 6/30.  I'll be waiting on the Sony S350, MSRP@399.00 to see if it performs better.
