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.

 

[Larry Sutliff]

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.

 

[Hayes Preston]

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

Still waiting on 2.0! I am getting frusterated.

 

[Clinton McClure]

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.

 

[Larry Sutliff]

Still waiting on a firmware disc...

Has anyone else received one?

 

[EdClay]

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.

 

[Shaun]

Well, I finally got mine in the mail today. Though, I won't be able to use it until tomorrow. Got the e-mail from Toshiba on 9/7. Comes in a small CD sleeve with instructions and license agreement.

Anyone else get their's yet?

 

[Larry Sutliff]

Still waiting...

 

[Ron-P]

I called Toshiba today as I orderd the disk nearly 2 weeks ago, they have been on backorder. Mine just shipped out yesterday.

 

[Vader]

Got mine yesterday (ordered both by phone and sending the reply card in Sept 1)...

 

[Tim Glover]

Hope this helps to solve some of your player stuttering issues Derek.

 

[Vader]

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?)....

[Ron-P]

My disk showed up today. Can't wait to upgrade the player an spin Phantom with the TrueHD track.

 

[Tim Glover]

Cool Ron...look forward to your thoughts

 

[Clinton McClure]

Still no disc here... 3 weeks since my last call and 2 months since I sent my card in.

 

[Ron-P]

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.
