I know this has been covered, but I would just like to tell the other forum members about this.


I have been disappointed with my HD-D1 (HD-A1 model) because of the constant audio/video sync problems. I have been plagued with audio sync problems EVERY time I watch an HD DVD. I tried to watch King Kong two weeks ago and it was the last straw. Probably 7 audio sync problems in the first hour. I finally got my RA# from Toshiba and sent my unit in.


Shipped the unit off 12 days ago and received it back yesterday. I believe they replaced the HD DVD drive and a circuit board according to an email I received.


Watched Forbidden Planet last night and King Kong tonight. Perfect performance. No skips, sync problems or freeze ups.


Kudos to Toshiba for making HD DVD fun for me again.

Nice to see this kinda confirmed, its good news for those still with warranty and not so good for those without & hoping a firmware might have fixed the skipping issue.

Well, that was the deal. I waited and waited hoping a firmware update would fix the issue and it didn't.


There was something obviously wrong with my player and Toshiba fixed it.

Nice to know they can fix it, even on my dime though. I like the player and want to use it as long as it plays all the titles I throw at it. No skips here though yet.
