I've just bought the Tosh 220E (firmware 1.5 - R2) from Sevenoaks. The first DVD I try, I'm getting "lock ups" or picture freezes in Pulp Fiction R2 all over the place. However, the disk played fine in the DVD drive on my laptop so I was reluctant to believe it was the disk.
However, just to check, I got Pulp Fiction out from Blockbuster and low-and-behold, it still locks up. I have only played one other DVD so far and that was fine.
Can anyone else verify this problem with Pulp Fiction (R2)? As an example, use Chapter 12, where Uma Thurman has overdosed. John Travolta drives her to this guys house and he and the guy prepare an injection for Uma. Just after the point where they draw a red dot on her chest, the picture "stutters" and then locks up completely. I have to press stop and restart the chapter!
On the disk I got from Blockbuster, again in Chapter 12, I can't even fast forward past the bit where John Travolta crashes his car into the front garden of the guys house (i.e. before they even enter the house). Again, it locks up and I can't skip back/forward.
Basically there seems to be no way of watching this disk!
fwiw, I've tried connecting to my TV via both RGB and normal SCARTs - not that I would expect this to make a difference.
If any of you have Pulp Fiction R2 and a Tosh 220, could you check this? I'd be very grateful. I guess I'll be taking the 220 back soon...
Many thanks in advance,
Phil
