im kinda anxious too, my HD-A1 skips about every movie now.
I don't know if I should send it in for repair, wait for firmware or return it.

Expect a firmware update in November.
Could you people making a prediction on the ETA of the update please post your source for the information?
Thanks !

I do not have a long enough Cat6 line to reach the HDA1 and it is a pain in the butt to move the Tosh. The last 2 FW discs were promptly shipped.....I can wait a few more days......

download the .iso and burn it. That's what I did.
Return it (exchange) I guess, mine has never given me any problems. Why tolerate a clearly problematic unit? Never one skip, never one hiccup. I avoid HDMI like the plague, so that may explain why I don't have problems (analog is always consistent and it outperforms HDMI when consistentcy is factored in).

Interesting, I've been wondering if the skipping/lip synch problem is HDMI related, audio related or disc related. The fact that you had no problems with your component connection, makes me wonder if it isn't HDMI. Has anyone done a survey as to what connections/settings that this problem occurs in? Barring a disc manufacturing problem, we should be able to come to a concensus on what might be causing this skip issue.

use analog? or return the player? I'm not gonna return it, I advise Brian to exchange it as it appears to give him grief.
As far as analog, because I think it is better and I've seen no conclusive evidence that HDMI does give a better picture or produce clearer sound. the A/D conversion must happen, whether at the TV or in the receiver. With the A1 you can have the player handle both and trust me, it does a superior job unless you have very high end equipment.

Have you ran avia or dve to prove this or are you going by eye??
Also, what if your player has hdmi issues.......and you dont find out till it is too late....As far as the A/D conversion.....i always thought that the player did that with hdmi/dvi..........?

you asking me? you don't seem to refer or reference anything...

sorry, I mean D/A conversion and that changes depending on whether display decode the signal or whether you rely on the player. Given that my display is a CRT, I only have component. Now I did work at Tweeter when this player was released and I did A/B comparisons on 2 TVs using HDMI/component (audioquest component and HDMI). HDMI looked no different and had no more or less artifacting. It did create HDMI handshake issues. Component looked the same, even when walking up close to the set. I know professional reviews with better testing equipment have had mixed reviews of HDMI as well.
I used a Sony 42A10 (3LCD RPTV) and a Sony SXRD RPTV(50XBR1) in my informal test. I do own a copy of DVE and Avia and used those with test patterns to check if all 480 lines of resolution were being resolved, both upconverted and at 480p. HDMI is a useful connection, when its not possessed by the devil (single cable replacing my 9 RCAs is nifty but not worth the headaches). With HDMI your voltage from each component has to match, and my experience with a variety of devices shows that this often gets a flutter.
BTW, I still get upconversion over analog and it looks similarly fantastic.

If your happy with your results then really that is all that matters.
I am just saying that more bandwidth is always better and less conversions is always better

Using a RPTV crt will always have the A/D conversion....my setup is a panny plasma 50px60u-hdmi-pioneer 81tx-hd a1......my set as far as i know is only scaling it to fit everything else is being done inside the player.....i have seen component hdtv[comcast] and hdmi hdtv [comcast] and i can say there is a noticable difference in PQ...as far as HD DVD, i only have used hdmi......
What i will agree with you on is the handshake bs which is total bs also so is the different hdmi versions.....it should come with a chip for firware upgrades.....
