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.
According to an article in Home Theater Magazine, Samsung is working on an update to fix some of the audio problems, especially the TrueHD decoding. They expect the update to be out in May/June.
