I called Customer support yesterday and they said that there are no reported problems with the Abyss. Are they kidding or what. There are numerous posts here about the problem. I even read the CSR some of the posts here on the forum. I explained to her about the freeze on disc 2 on the pseudo-multi angle. She said there were no reported problems. Buy the way I have a sd-2200. Any one else get the same crap from them? We should all keep calling until they final admit to the problems.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I have a SD2109 that is over a year old and still have not had the first problem including the Abyss disks.

I guess I'm 'lucky' too. The Abyss played fine on both my Pioneer DVL919 and my Toshiba 2108.

You got another copy of the dvd and it played perfectly? Did the freeze occur on disc 2 at the pseudo-multi angle feature?

The x109 series are not affected...

BTW: I recieved a message from Toshiba Canada today:

quote:<HR>
Hello
Sorry for the delay in responding but only yesterday received information regarding "The Abyss". An upgrade is now available that should correct the problem you referred to. You should contact our Montreal Service Department and speak to the Service Manager to arrange to have this done.
<HR>


They then go on and give me the name of the guy, blah blah... I call him tommorow.

Cheers,
Patrick
