| Re: Problems with the Toshiba HD-XA2KN Thanks for the info. I ordered the disc and will install when they send it. Most likely I'll just use
the Toshiba for HD DVD movies and the Samsung HD841 for upscaled Standard DVD presentations.
That means switching cables but it will be quite a while before I have an extensive HD DVD library
whereas I have over two hundred standard DVDs. I'll gradually upgrade movies as they become available...if they become available and providing the upgraded transfer is actually better. For example,
whereas "Mutiny on the Bounty" is clearly superior in HD, I've read some pretty bad reviews for the
HD of "Christmas Vacation".
Let's hope cinematographers shart shooting with a lot of light and generate fully exposed negatives
as they did prior to the sixties since that seventies 'look' for features (little lighting, high speed stock,
low f.stops as in films like "Farewell my Lovely" and "The Godfather") does not transfer easily to HD.
