Matrix: Reloaded - Problems???

I have a Panasonic F-61 (5 Disc Progressive Scan) and there are frequent parts where it pixelates. I'll go backwards and replay it again and sometimes it's there and sometimes it isn't. I've cleaned out my player and made sure the disc didn't have any scratches but it looks like I'm returning it tomorrow to Best Buy. Anyone else have problems with their Reloaded disc?

I had no problems w/ pixelation, but I did notice that the levels were a little low. I had to really crank it, to get up to my normal listening volume. Did anybody else notice this?

I did notice the low volumes. I have a Sony DVP-S360, and like you said I had to really put up the volume to get it up to my normal listening volume. I thought that was really weird.

No, the volume was constant all throughout the movie. I figured I was gonna have to run to the volume button a few times, but I never had to. The sound was great, just needed to bumb my volume level up a few notches to get it nice and loud like I like it.

Yes, same here. I could hear it @ the level I normally listen to it. I just had to turn it up, so I could hear the great sound everyone was talking about.

I also got some pixelation while watching the movie, but I do not remember where it was at during the movie.

But, I rented (it was a new copy from behind the counter, they had not put The Matrix Reloaded on the shelf yet) so i did not pay much attention to the problem since I will be returning the DVD in a few days.


I will pick up the 3rd movie, Reloaded was OK, but I am betting that the next movie will be the one to buy.


**The video and sound quality was fantastic, video was one of the best I have ever seen. You really could see people's blemishes in their faces. At times it did have a 3D effect to video.

Mine is flawless. Great picture and sound. The layer switch over was a little abrupt.

Exchanged for a new one. Tried out the spots it was pixelating in before and it worked fine.

I've got a Sony progressive scan DVD player, and I had no problem. Watching it for the first time, I loved it! (A blind buy at 15 bucks, big deal - it costs more than that for two people to go to a theater.)

I did notice that the dialogue was a little low. Then again, having a normal level on the dialogue and blowing you thru the back of the room during the action sequences might be the point.

Then again, maybe I need to check my audio system levels.
