Firmware 2.0 to enable TrueHD5.1
http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/08/08/hd-...es-truehd-5-1/
Quote:
Man do we love our tipsters, who help bring some of the best content to HDBeat. Today one of them got their hands on the latest HD DVD firmware version 1.9 beta, which will be released as version 2.0. The new version has some cool features, no it won't enable Blu-ray disc playback, but it will enable the player to decode TrueHD 5.1, which can come in handy for those with discrete inputs on their AV receiver. Of course the good news is that the player is always getting better, but the bad news is that the updates come out more often than Windows updates.
Here are the updates in the past 4 months.
1.2 fixed player glitching and Blacker than Black and Whiter than White via HDMI
1.3 fixed RCA players that had the Toshiba boot up screen
1.4 fixed certain HDMI/DVI problems (Toshiba never specified)

This is great news. I was planning to buy a 2nd gen player to get TrueHD5.1, looks like now I won't have to.
Sometime's you reach what's real by making believe.

One more hurdle BD has to remember and clear between now and October. That's it, saving now for my player and receiver that will accept TrueHD DD.

Yipee! Toshiba ROCKS!
Jerome, does your receiver not have discrete 5.1 analog inputs? That's all it takes...

Re: Firmware 2.0 to enable TrueHD5.1
Just curious, this firmware upgrade is for which Tosh player? Or is it for both?
 There are three things I can't stand: 1) Intolerance; and 2) People who can't count.
