Re: Firmware 2.0 to enable TrueHD5.1


Actually the -10 dB difference is for the sub and it applies for both DD Plus and DD TrueHD.

My current resolution in this matter is to leave speaker level at 0 dB for all speakers and increase the Gain at the sub by 2 o'clock over setting for SPDIF playback.

With the above settings I can toggle between SPDIF and the analogs to get a good understanding of how DD TrueHD compares with DD Plus (as delivered in DTS format by the receiver's decoder). Before toggling, I make sure to select a passage where there's little LFE, if any, for the sub's current Gain setting to deal with. Otherwise, I would reduce the sub's Gain before toggling to SPDIF.

Re: Firmware 2.0 to enable TrueHD5.1


Is the information/instruction sheet that accompanies the disc Tosh sends the same every time? I note that the 2.0 sheet says "This firmware upgrade addresses certain disc playback and HDMI/DVI related problems identified by Toshiba."

Yes, you should have instruction sheet # HDVD2001.

Re: Firmware 2.0 to enable TrueHD5.1


Yeah Michael, that's the one. But my question is for anyone who's received more than one disc from Tosh: has each been accompanied by a different instruction sheet with a different brief explanation of what issues the upgrade supposedly addresses?
