Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Toshiba Firmware Upgrade Available

I am upgrading my a2 right now via ethernet.

I just got doen watching italian job (one of my 5 freebies) and it skipped/slowed down/had a bunch of fragments or something. The disc is brand new, not a scratch or a smudge on it.

Hopefully I am not experiencing some of the skipping that rickf is talking about

Terzaghi don't be surprised if it is a bad disc. Our brand new Bourne Ultimatum disc did the very same thing and as a last resort I took the disc back to the store and replaced it with another new Ultimatum disc, problem solved! All along I was believing it was the player ... which after everything was said and done it did indeed turn out to be a bad player but the repeated problem with the player was that it would drop the picture and go to a blue screen for a few seconds at a time.

We just picked up The Italian Job and watched it yesterday, great flick. Hope you get your problem taken care of.

Also...

Anybody who has uploaded the new 2.8 firmware onto these players, can you tell any difference at all?

I'll do the upgrade after I get home from work today, now that I know how ... thanks Rick!

I updated but have not watched any movies on it. MAybe toshiba's website has a list of fixes?

So it is a little vague in the benefit, but that doesn't mean that it isn't important or significant.

FYI. It took me over 20 minutes to update via ethernet last night. It is about 50MB, but I have a pretty fast internet connection. It does take time, that's for sure.
