Problem with my Toshiba HD-A20KU HD-DVD Player?
 
Hi. I think I might be having a problem with my A20 that I just bought last night. :( When I hit my "rewind" button, it pauses for about 2 seconds and then starts to rewind, but it sure isn't fluid - it kind of jumps or skips backward. Is this normal behavior or defective?

Also, can someone verify the boot time? When I turn the power on, I can't even eject for about 20 seconds... Normal?

Thanks so much! :)

Never heard of the KU version...where did you buy it at?
As for the 20 seconds...that's normal. The A1 took like a minute, lol.

KU is what it says on my owner's manual. I'll double-check the unit itself to see if it says that. I got it at Best Buy - $299 on sale...

Pretty much normal for Toshiba HD DVD players from my experience.

really??? It seems hard to believe... Everyone who has a A20 has this effect when rewinding?

Yes.

Its a Generation 2 player. This is not like DVD which has been around for 10 years and his been improved numerous times. Its a new format...hence the high price tag. Its part of the growing pains on both formats.
