wwyjoe Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Just successfully updated mine! The player's front panel will display "DOWNLOADING D1/38" until D38/38, followed by "Step 1/5" till "Step 5/5", then auto shut-down upon completion When you manually power on the player, and goto Setup > Maintainence, you should see version 1.3 Fellow XA2 owners...enjoy!

Cool :) gonna do it later... ps still no 1080p24 :( But hope they'll solve the odd "freeze" when powering off problem.

Doggie Howser Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 It took me a second try before I could upgrade the firmware over the Internet. First time seemed like network congestion. Once it completed, it just shut down. Worried me for a minute. Once I rebooted, I went back to Maintenance/Update and it showed the new 1.3 firmware.
wwyjoe Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 according to AVS, the 1080/24 upgrade is sheduled for summer release
Doggie Howser Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I don't have the manual with me at the moment and I can't find the manuals for download at the Toshiba website.. but one thing I noticed the other day when opening the front panel of the XA2 was this toggle switch to switch between Mode 1 and Mode 2. Does anyone remember what it was for?
velocity1624705768 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 This is to switch the video modes for high def viewing. keep it at 2 if you want to watch hidef on HDMI or component. 1 is only for SVid or composite. Do NOT toggle the switch when the player is on. Make sure the set is off before you change the switch or it may disable output.
Genesis Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 You can download the manual here :) http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/052/052HDXA2.PDF
Genesis Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I think I might hold off on this upgrade for a bit. I mean, I don't have a HDMI/DVI issue and since I've been using my XA2 (over a couple of weeks now) I haven't had a single problem with it. It's played flawlessly all the HD discs and SD discs I've put into it. Have you guys who upgraded to 1.3 noticed anything really worthwhile?
