Here is an old photo of when my transcoder arrived.
Here is a photo of the new Toshiba XA2 that arrived monday on time and the box looked very good. It looked better than the box of the A30 I picked up at the local store.
The update went without error.
Sorry for the slow updates. I am really busy researching and testing my room out to start making room treatments soon. I think I am getting started on that next week. I will get a build thread here sometime when time allows. I also have to design a media room, and think about what goes on the dock also so I am really pressed on time. The dock might be getting the one I have right now because the analog cables picked up at the local store just are not getting the job done for the analog out on the player. I would rather upgrade my receiver than buy new cables. I am returning the cables I think for some movies. I thought transformers (DVD) was really good and will most likely be picking that one up on HD-DVD. I am looking for a Denon, Marantz, or Pioneer receiver. I would like it to have preamp outputs for 7.1 since I have all the amps to power. If it could use its own internal amps and the outputs at the same time that would be really great too. It needs to accept HDMI from the player. I know how to use the bass management with it and I have the image looking really great. I am real happy with the improvements for me going to this player from the A30. We are adding track lighting to the room also. I will get some screen shots up later but the difference is so much and my camera just doesn't do it justice.
