philby85 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Hey Guy's, Gotta xe1 which I upgraded to 2.5.1 then up to 2.8. Lately it wont play any dvd's and sometimes it wont play a hd dvd. I downgraded to 2.7 but its still the same. Any advice? Maybe I should just contact toshiba? cheers Philby
philby85 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Posted May 12, 2008 Hi Guy's, My xe1 is having issues playing dvd's as stated above. This is not a dvd format is the error message. My firmware is 2.7 with region free. Can I take it back to default firmware so I can send it back to Toshiba? cheers Phil

kopthat Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Mine is still at 2.501 and until I find any reason to, I'm not going to upgrade the firmware.

Guest Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Hi all apart from some having trouble playing dvd on these players, how are you all finding them as dvd players?
Volunteer Kazz Posted May 18, 2008 Volunteer Posted May 18, 2008 Hi all apart from some having trouble playing dvd on these players, how are you all finding them as dvd players? Hi Franin, The Xe1 is a great upscaler for dvd and I've had no problems playind sd dvd on it. Having said that though I do have an Oppo 983 on order for dvd playback as from all reports these do a superb job at upscaling and are an improvement on the XE1 for upscaling.
RezoN_8 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Hi Franin, had mine since Feb. never had a problem with it (touch wood) love it's upscaling, put my Denon in its place, and cost less. Have applied all the required firmware, including region free. I have had 1 or 2 discs that required the "special codes" to play but, apart from that, it plays everything I throw at it. I only have the one player now, so it even has the sticky fingered kid's discs put through it without a drama.
Guest Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks for that Kazz and RezoN 8 I had a denon 3930 which I have recentley sold because I dont get much usage in it.Every now and then there is a few Sd dvd i wouldn't mine playing and it looks like the hd-dvd is the way to go.

Until quite recently I hadn't considered another SD player but upon speaking to a trusted friend here on the forum and given the rather large SD collection I have I decided that at around $500 the Oppo was the way to go for SD, it also reduces wear and tear on the XE1.

Well thats my other concern being that hd dvd is finished and I have 100+ titles Im also considering the wear and tear situation.
Volunteer Kazz Posted May 18, 2008 Volunteer Posted May 18, 2008 Well thats my other concern being that hd dvd is finished and I have 100+ titles Im also considering the wear and tear situation. Yep I have around that many titles as well and would like the XE1 to last a fairly long time to play them all, even though I do have a spare.
Guest Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Yep I have around that many titles as well and would like the XE1 to last a fairly long time to play them all, even though I do have a spare. Same kazz I have 2 hooked up to my system.I thought it was only me.
