I just purchase the XA-2 HD DVD player and it looks amazing. I have to say the picturing is a little better than my pioneer blu ray player. The only reason I bought this was I received the blu ray player as a gift.

I am having one problem though with my XA-2. I have to turn the volume up really high to get it to a similar level of normal DVD. So high in fact that I am getting hiss to a pretty high level. I am running HDMI for audio and video. I believe I read that a firmware update fixes this but cant be sure.

Any theories on this issue?

Thanks everyone,

Max
