Version 1.5 upgrade now available for 2nd gen Toshiba players

Wow, that was quick. I seems like I only upgraded my XA2 a few weeks ago to 1.3. Now we have a new flash.

"As part of our commitment to provide world-class service to our customers, Toshiba is supplying this firmware update for use by purchasers of Toshiba HD DVD Player models HD-XA2, HD-A20, HD-A2, HD-A2W and HD-D2. This firmware update addresses certain disc playback and HDMI/DVI related problems identified by Toshiba." 1.5 upgrade

• Toshiba HD-XA2, HD Add-on, Panasonic DMP-BD10A
• Pioneer VSX-94TXH, Panasonic PT-AE 2000U 1080p (delivered but not mounted yet)
• 252 HD DVDs, 65 BD DVDs, and over 1560 - SD DVDs and going down
• New buying strategy - I will continue to buy Universal and Paramount HD DVD's, but if it available in both formats, Blu-ray now gets my purchase.

I hope it corrects the bass management problem when using the analog outputs.

It doesn't (not that I have the problem, I'm using HDMI). A week or so ago, Robert (from Value Electronics) said that 1.5 would come in April and would NOT address the bass management problem. He said Toshiba is working on the bass management for a forthcoming firmware revision. Possibly in May.

We have an ongoing thread for the firmware upgrade of the gen 2 players.
