Toshiba has released firmware update version: 1.4 for their HD-XA1, HD-A1 and HD-D1 HD-DVD players, which is said to “address certain disc playback and HDMI/DVI related problems identified by Toshiba”.

As usual The players can be updated by one of two methods; either by attaching the player to an internet connection or requesting a firmware update disk from Toshiba as they become available.

At last check the update still wasn’t available to my player via ethernet but I’m told the updates are staggered out to individual players based on some unique identifier, possibly serial number or IP address, keep checking the update screen for availability.

–edit– 1.4 should be available via ethernet to all owners now.
