My receiver handles switching just fine, and I have a nice little 5.1 cable bundled in one.

I've tried both PCM and bitstream, and regardless, my Denon 4306 automatically switches to PCM or Dolby Digital (I'm using HDMI connections). Just got me e-mail from Toshiba, I should be getting my 2.0 Firmware disc next week!

Has anybody noticed any ill effects as far as the center channel sound is concerned? Another poster (can't recall which forum) reported poor (distorted?) sound coming from his center channel after applying the 2.0 upgrade. He said that he had to re-initialize the player to solve the problem...

I got my e-mail from Toshiba on 09/07/2006, and I am still waiting for my firmware upgrade. Have you received yours? How long is it supposed to take?

Thanks.

Paul, I'm still waiting, too. For previous firmware updates, I received my email after I already received the disc in the mail. According to some folks on AVS who spoke to people at Toshiba, they're having a shortage of the discs, and are getting them out as fast as they can. I'm hoping we'll have our discs by the end of this week.

Called for 1.2, got it fast. 1.4 came automatically, also very fast.

Still waiting on 2.0! I am getting frusterated.

I was told by Toshiba 2 weeks ago to the day that the 2.0 discs had just arrived and would be sent out immediately. I still have not seen mine.

Not yet... and RCA is still showing ver. 1.4 for download on their site. I would guess Toshiba would need at least 25 to 30,000 CDs.

Thanks, Tim. As I am coming up on the 30-day limit anyway, I replaced the player at BB Tuesday night. I'm gonna try Serenity tonight both before and after the update. In any case, here's hoping that (IF Blu-ray get's their cr*p together) , either Denon or Marantz will announce a high-end *combo* player come CES in January.... I know, but I can dream, can't I?)....

Re: HD DVD Firmware Update now available on Toshiba website. Now version 2.0!!!

Call them, when I did they told me the update disk was on backorder.

I installed my 2.0 last night and watched Constantine. In TrueHD I had a lip-sync issue that I had not had before. Doing some research seems this is a problem with the 2.0 in TrueHD only. DD+ is fine.

I've been doing some testing with Phantom and Constantine now and infact reloading 2.0 as I type, some say this does the trick.

The lip-sync is very minor, so much so that 2 out of the 4 of us watching Constantine last night did not notice it.

I will say this, the TrueHD track puts everything you've ever heard to shame, it sounds beyond amazing.

I have the same lip sync problem with Constantine and Phantom. Let us know if reloading the upgrade changes anything.

No change with the reload. But, I don't have the sync problem with Phantom, only Constantine.

Re: HD DVD Firmware Update now available on Toshiba website. Now version 2.0!!!

I just read a post over at AVS from a person who recently spoke to Toshiba, seems firmware 2.1 is in the works and will be out in the next week or so to fix issues from 2.0. That's all that was posted. I plan to call them tomorrow and see what I can find out.

Well, my 2.0 disc arrived this morning and I reupdated my HD-A1 with the official version. I wonder how long it'll take for the 2.1 to show.

Re: HD DVD Firmware Update now available on Toshiba website. Now version 2.0!!!

I'm still waiting for my disc. I had assumed that since I received the e-mail that I was in their system. However, it appears that this reasonable assumption is not one those who are still awaiting this firmware update should make. I called Toshiba this morning, and they could not find me in their system. The CSR was very helpful in adding me to the system, and she indicated that the disc would be sent out today and to me in about 7-10 business days.

dumb question:

What is the 1-800 number for Toshiba's customer service.

Thanks,

Re: HD DVD Firmware Update now available on Toshiba website. Now version 2.0!!!

Well, apparently calling Toshiba to let them know my firmware update hadn't arrived was the correct thing to do; as it showed up yesterday mere two days after I called.

I applied the update last night, and everything went smoothly. I have yet to play anything on the player since, although I hope to this weekend.

If the lip-syncing problems are only related to TrueHD tracks, I'm afraid I won't be of much help reporting my findings in that area, as I won't any HD DVDs with them until Batman Begins arrives.

Finally, I think I will be calling to confirm that my firmware updates have shipped much earlier in the future, especially since 2.1 is rumored to be coming shortly.
