To make it easier for people who tune into the forum for firmware and tool updates, I think it would be a good idea for people to make a post in this thread to announce new firmwares and new tools.

This way, people can just subscribe to this thread and be notified whenever a new Blu-ray and HD DVD drives firmware or tool comes out.

The post should contain:
1. Drive brand model (not required for tool announcement)
2. Firmware/tool version
3. Download link to the new firmware/tool
4. Changelog (Release date and reason)
5. Link to a discussion thread if one already exists

To receive notification of any announcement, subscribe to this thread by clicking this link.

This thread should be for announcements only. Do not discuss new firmware or tool in this thread. Posts are subject to deletion without notice if they do not follow this guideline.

I just got off the phone with Tosiba technical support about a possible bug with the A3 displaying 2CH when it should be displaying MULTI..

I have my A3 audio set to Bitstream for Digital Out SPDIF and PCM for Digital Out HDMI.. I am connecting to a Pioneer VSX-1015TX receiver via optical out..

My A3 displays 2CH on the front status screen and my receiver shows THX CINEMA with 5.1 channels coming in.. The digital signal settings on the receiver are set to Auto.. If I change the SPDIF to PCM, it chooses DDPLII MV+THX instead of THX CINEMA..

Now in the A3 manual it states that if it shows 2CH its outputting 2 channels and if it shows MULTI its outputting multi-channel sound..

Toshiba tech is sending me new firmware v2.5 for the A3, so while its not on the website yet, be on the lookout for it or call tech support so they can mail it to you.. They claim it fixes numerous audio and video issues..

So this is a PRE-announcement to firmware v2.5.. Should I get it before its released on the site, Ill post a link here..
