Re: A1 Firmware v 2.01 is out now. On the fence about installing it though....
The fact that some machines show connection problems is evidently a problem related to the presence of noncompliant chips.
Sony has focused on new firmware to bring the A1 in line with other new machines.
It is not an update but a revised firmware even in internal components such as precisely communication.
It clearly no longer uses the same method as before because communication is now significantly faster and more immediate.
The A1 went through a worldwide chip shortage, Sony evidently used different suppliers in order to continue production and some of these components do not respond to the new protocol.
As mentioned the service issue does not exist, it is an inherent manufacturing defect, it is considered on par with a recall, Sony simply does not (at least at the moment) have the ability to locate incriminated production batches, it therefore leaves it up to the customer to decide whether to upgrade....and should the problem arise (a possibility stated by Sony) to send it for service.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN ASKED TO PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM?
I doubt it but in case it will be reported and clearly it will have a high resonance....but for that very reason...it will not happen...
