Alexander Revisited The Final Cut HD DVD

[High_Def DVD]

Well got my imported alexander yesterday and it was almost good.
Except the second part (disc 2) of the movie which didn't play at all.
Have the Toshiba HD-E1 player with firmware 2.0

I think there is a new firmware update out version 2.2 ?
I keep meaning to shove a lead into my HD-E1 and get it but life keeps taking over.
don't know if it will help with your second disc problem though.

I saw someone on avsforum say they had this issue and went into the setup menu and changed the twin format from HD-DVD to DVD and it played. Seems a strange solution, but hey it will only take a couple of seconds to try so worth doing before you send it back.

Ok thanks both of you, will try the set up thing and then the firmware via helpdesk .

Firmware 2.2 did it

This has been the longest Intermission i ever experienced.

By the way, the movie looks really good and ok sound.

Have a nice weekend, thanks again.

So, how is the image quality of this movie, compared to the best of other HD discs pls?

[High_Def DVD]

Image is really good. Sound is DD+ at 640kbps, sounds better than might believe.

Thanks High Def DVD, that looks incredibly good, glad I ordered a copy now. The SD disc of the shorter (168 min) cut was good enough for SD but this looks much better.

Sorry to hear, same thing as for me earlier?
Well, firmware 2.2 did it for me, are u sure you do have the 2.2 in the player and not the 2.0 in the maintenance?
I haven't any answers, was in contact with toshiba 2 weeks ago and they said there wasn't any issues with this movie at all and as noted 2.2 did help me with my E1.

What if a restart helps, you unplug the power cord and reconnect the player from there?

thanks for the reply,i have the 2.2 installed and this is the only disc i have ever had a problem with so i guess i will have to live with it.

I also had a problem with the second disc. Try initialising the disc under the general maintenance on set-up - failing that try changing the disc on the picture set-up to PAL rather than AUTO.

From other users:

"I had the same problem on my HD-E1 (European A20(?)) The display on the player said "NONPLAY" and i got the message 'System Error Accured'
I solved it by clearing all the entries in the persisten storage of my drive and then insert the disc again."

"The first time I tried the second disc, it gave me "System Error" after the Warner logo. I ejected and reloaded, and it played fine after that."

"Deleting all entries for Warner Bros. in the persistent storage of my HD E1 worked for me."
