Well I finally had some luck. Called Toshiba, spelled out the problem, and told em I got it for Xmas, thus no receipt

, so they let me send it in for servicing. Got it back yesterday, well I should say I an XA2 back... they gave me a new one, in the box with everything! Not bad considering I bought the 1st one used

.
Watched an SD DVD, and an HD DVD yesterday, zero issues thus far! It's on the 2.2 firmware... needless to say 2.8 scares the shit out of me. What lowest firmware could I go to get 1080p24 with DTS-MA decoding?
