Jimbo101 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Just purchased a Toshiba HD-EP10 with 2.8 firmware. Set the unit up in my home theatre and it is working well. HD-DVD's play perfectly at 1080/24p. I have done some research and found the unit doesn't bitstream audio through HDMI which I can live with. One thing I have noticed is when playing standard DVD's the display on the HD-EP10 will only show 2ch despite me selecting 5.1 DTS or DD on the DVD. Shouldn't it not display Multi? It certainly does when playing HD-DVD discs, but so far standard DVD's just show 2ch. I have the audio setting as; Digital Out SPDIF - Bitstream Digital Out HDMI - Auto Dynamic Range Control - Off Dialog Enhancement - Off It is only connected via HDMI Also is version 2.8 the final firmware? I noticed a version 4.0 at a site, http://cid-6948f2460bdd190c.office.live.co...irmware/HD-EP10 Will this work with the Aussie version of the HD-EP10?

Hi mate, yes V4.0 will work with aussie players and fixes a couple of playback issues i had with several discs. I don't have time to boot up my HT this morning before work to check what settings i have but i get 5.1 with standard dvd's via hdmi, if no one has responded by this evening i'll have a look and get back to you.

I did the update to version 4.0 and it still shows 2ch. Watched Back to the Future and selected a DTS soundtrack which the amp displayed as DTS but the EP10 still shows 2ch on the display...
