Topic: HD-DVD Issue: We Were Soldiers in DTS 6.1?

[pchin]

This movie offers both DD+ 5.1 EX & DTS 6.1. My HD player seems unable to decode the 6.1 audio track. I also heard Toshiba 1st gen HD-A1 player suffers similar fate. 

The problem is when I selected either the 5.1 EX or DTS 6.1 audio (using HDMI output), my receiver can't detect the 6.1 presence (except the standard 5.1 channel only).

So I switched to Optical audio & got similar result. No matter how I tried, I still can't get the darn 6.1 out. My rear surround speaker is totally quiet.   

Anyone else that has this tittle? Perhaps it may play well in your Xbox 360? Hope to hear some feedback tnx.

My gear info:
HD-DVD Player: Toshiba HD-A2
AV Receiver: Yamaha RX-V1700
Surround setup: 7.1

P.S. Let me know if you don't have this tittle, I might able to visit your home to test it out.

Wait for the firmware...

Unfortunately, I'm disappointed to report that Toshiba still hasn't quite worked out all the kinks in even their top-end model. I remain hopeful that the company can fix the HD-XA2's video stutter, low LFE, and audio sync issues in future firmware updates, but I doubt many potential buyers will be pleased to spend $999 and still experience problems that should have been resolved in quality testing before the product came to market. As such, I think the best course of action is to wait for the promised firmware upgrades before making a purchase decision. Assuming they rectify these lingering concerns, the HD-XA2 has the potential to be a tremendous piece of equipment.
