Today, Xbox 360 HD-DVD player users will be prompted for an auto update.

 According to Microsoft’s Major Nelson, the update adds a plethora of audio options and 1080p support via the Xbox 360 Elite.  Also added will be a new option for users to select from the following audio output formats via TOSLINK or HDMI: Digital Stereo (2 channel PCM), Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, and WMA Pro.  Also new on the audio front  is an added “Dynamic Range Control” toggle for digital audio output.

In addition, the update will deliver improved HD DVD networking support, improved HD-DVD title compatibility, improved performance with MPEG-4 AVC / H.264, the previously-mentioned 1080p via HDMI supported on the Xbox 360 Elite with HDCP compliant displays, and improved parental controls.

Xbox Live-less gamers will see details on how to get the update via Xbox.com later this week, Major Nelson said.
