Title: HDMI and Pioneer Elite AVR's don't mix
Review: I wasn't able to use this player through my Pioneer VSX-74TXVi AVR, would not pass video via HDMI. I believe this is a Pioneer receiver problem and not the players fault? Some people sent the receiver in for a firmware fix and it seemed to resolve this issue.The only way I could get the player to work was straight through to the display(HDMI), and it rendered a beautiful picture. I believe a fimware fix might be in order from Toshiba to fix this problem, until then, I'll keep my 1st generation XA1 that works just fine for now.From what I hear this is the best player to date, best SD upconversion thanks to the awesome REON chip inside, and the build quality is fantastic, anodized aluminum sides all the way around. The player is half the size of my XA1.I'm really in a small minority group having an HDMI issue, If you want the BEST HD DVD player, get this one for sure!
