HD-A2 upgrade is now available for download. Now version 2.5! - Page 2

Dave, You should not be experiencing any of the trouble you are experiencing. Have you upgraded to 1.2?

BTW, to anyone who has not upgraded with the Canadian 1.2, DO NOT DO IT. The US version is different. It's no big deal, as the Canadian disc will not damage the player, but the US 1.2 upgrade is better for our players.

So only upgrade with the disc from Toshiba USA or the best method is the network download directly into the player.

Has anyone received the disc from Toshiba yet? I'm wondering how long it will take, as the audio dropouts that come while playing a music CD are quite obnoxious.

Just got off of the phone with Toshiba. Disks are on Back Order. So of course I asked how much longer and I got the stock answer "maybe 2 weeks." Same tune as I got the last time I called 2 weeks ago. I asked the customer rep, "have any discs been shipped" and she responded with "it doesn't look like it." She indicated that all that had filled out the card or had phoned in would automatically receive one. I did verify that I was on the list. I wish I had better news, but that's all I've got for now.

Robert, is there any word on an upgrade for the XA2?

How do a person know if a standard DVD is being upconverted? We've read that 1.2 firmware fixes certain issues of upconverting. Can't remember who but someone indicated that we are only getting 480i. Is that only on certain DVD's? Is it a subjective thing in viewing or is there a quantifiable way of knowing if your DVD is being upconverted and to what resolution?

Does this make any sense? I do have my A2 set to 1080i.

Roger,

Occasionally I would get a message that said, "This DVD cannot be upconverted. Content presentation at 480p" or something like that.

If your TV has an "Info" function (button), that may show the incoming resolution.

The 1.2 firmware disk really does exist I received it on Friday, February 23rd Actually, on Wednesday the 21st, I received an envelope from Toshiba that kinda looked like a packing list, but no disc. Then the padded envelope on Friday.

I followed the instructions included with the diskette. The update took approximately 15 minutes and the procedure went as advertised.

Have I noticed a difference as a result of the upgrade? No, not really. I wasn't having any problems before, but having said that I had only played one HD DVD and one S DVD thru the player since I've owned it.

Roger

Ps. I bought the Dirty Dozen on Saturday and boy does it look good!

Has anyone seen a disc of the 1.3 update? Or, better yet, does anyone have it available for download so I can burn it to a disc myself? Thanks!

I'm with Justin - It is incredibly difficult for me to hook mine up to download directly, so if anyone has a download available that I could burn to disc, you would be doing me an enormous favour!
thanks!

Firmware version 1.5 up for download now. Not sure what it fixes, the official upgrade list FAQ still shows the same issues as version 1.2
