If there’s anything that you need from that firmware, you can go ahead and update that
I updated my WD last night with the latest firmware. I then watched an FLV video and the lip sync problem was still there. This sync problem only occurs on the WD. I rechecked the update and it said I had the latest firmware. I converted the FLV file to mp4 and it played without sync issues. Another problem experienced is that once I selected Options/Lip Sync, the only remote keys that would respond were the R & L arrows. I could not get out of ‘options’ and the remote basically was unresponsive, aside from changing the delay, which does not adjust very well to begin with. I’m not sure if the delay actually resets the audio/video tracks with each adjustment because it’s very frustrating getting the delay to sync. I had to remove power to the WD to reset. I repeated this several times to make sure it wasn’t just a fluke. So please don’t sign off on this FLV sync issue being resolved.
