Hi All,
I just updated the firmware on my Toshiba HD DVD A2 to 2.7. When I went to check everything out, I put in a standard DVD. What played was the movie inside of a box about 1/2 the size of my Sony 16.9 LCD. When I used to play any DVD, the screen would be full size. When I tried an HD DVD, it played in a full size screen.
I called Toshiba and the tech had me re-initialize the A2 and we checked all of the settings. The result was the same. He told me that he did not know what the problem was and instructed me to send it in for repair. I told him that this was my second unit [the first one kept locking up, but the store where I bought it from replaced it for me]. I do not want to be without the player for weeks on end while Toshiba tries to figure this all out [especially around the holidays].
Has anyone else had this problem? If not, don't update your player to the 2.7 update until they work this out. Now I'm stuck with an HD DVD that plays standard DVD's in a small box within my 16.9 LCD!
