That's completely incorrect, Derb. As I've brought up before, Toshiba HD DVD players have zero problems with LFE. The only people who have issues are those who have older receivers which do not properly amplify the LFE channel 10db on incoming multichannel analog signals. My Parasound 2500 was on of those older processors which fail to amplify LFE properly over analog 5.1, so I had to use a workaround for my processor's shortcomings within the player. This is the receiver's problem, not the player's.
The Panasonic issue is entirely different because the player is sending the wrong volume LFE over HDMI (unlike the Toshibas, which send the correct volume), it is 5db down from where it should be with PCM tracks. Even the best receiver in the world will have problems with the Panasonic because the player is sending out the wrong volumes.
