I've got this player myself. The video playback is great. Some excess noise in darker scenes when compared to my xa2. Disappointed in the audio, though. The truehd is only decoded or bitstreamed as 2 channel which blows, especially when it's the only track on these blurays
I've started buying (like 30 days of night for example).

Dts hd gets its core played, I think. Which is fine cause i can't tell the difference with my gear.

PCM gets sent as such but tells the receiver that it is always 7 channel even when it's a 5.1 track. Subsequently my surround back channels stay silent cause there's no information being sent to them, and my receiver won't let of PLIIx the hell out of the track cause it thinks there's already discrete information heading there way. It's mostly a problem cause my surround left and right are slightly in front of the listening position for me.

I'm not sure what it does to DD+ but i get 5.1 channels so i'll live. I'll get predictable results with hd dvd at least cause there's always a DD+ track there.
