Just posting a FYI that Toshiba has just released a new firmware upgrade for their HD-DVD players. I just upgraded and it went quite smoothly. Can't say there are any obvious changes but I trust Toshiba has improved something.

Looks like the latest is 2.8 from what I can tell. The last one I updated to was 2.7.

One thing that I've noticed with our A2 is that whenever I hit the 'Stop' then 'Setup' menu to manually input the aspect ratio of the screen (  ), regardless of where it may be in the movie, it always starts at the very beginning of the disc for all HD DVDs. I'd like to see the aspect ratio change automatically on these players. Also.. If y'all remember a while back I was having problems with our A2 skipping and losing the picture, well low and behold it did the same thing after the 2.7 firmware update and also while Wid (Rick) and his wife were here with us watching a movie ... he said he'd never seen his do that so we took my old player back to Wal-Mart to swap it out for a new unit and the new component has worked flawlessly every since. Obviously we just got a bad A2 from jump street.

At least now you know how to rip the update to cd Rick is right, while watching a movie with him an his wife the picture on his A2 just dropped out. Mine has never done this. I'm glad to hear your new player is still doing good.

It looks like an A2/A20 and not a A3/A30/A35 update.

A35 is on 1.3. I believe we are discussing different model Toshiba HD players
