Jurassic Park III dts glitch - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Hi! Have you guys heard about the Jurassic Park III dts problem? I got this from DVD Empire today:

We have just been notified by Universal Studios that there may be a
playback problem with the JURASSIC PARK 3 in certain makes of DVD
players.

Universal has said that this is not a problem with the disc, but
rather a
problem with the hardware located in the following makes of DVD players:
Onkyo, Kenwood and Denon. The problem is a faulty DTS decoder chip that
causes the disc to mute in certain places when the Dolby DTS 6.1 isolated
track is selected from the main menu. JURASSIC PARK 3 is the first disc to
show this defect, but there will most likely be others down the road.
Dolby has notified the manufacturers of the particular machines listed
above and they will be repairing them for the future. You may want to
check your warranty and send your machine back to have it repaired.

Not good....

Peace....

From what I read, the problem is not with the DTS track but with the DD 5.1 track.

Some people have complained about audio dropouts with certain receivers, especially from Denon and Onkyo.

I own the Yamaha RX-V1000 and originally watched JP3 in DTS. But after reading about the DD 5.1 dropout problem, I decided to re-watch the beginning of JP3 in DD 5.1.

There were no audio dropouts!

I have a Toshiba 3750 and had no such problems. Strange problem indeed.
