They are actually caused by the Toshiba's crappy remote. The remote has a tendancy to send the same command twice and that causes problems with the "operating system" (that pun was intended). Use a learning remote to change over to and nearly all of the lock-up problems will cease.The player takes forever to load up and is slow, slow, slow... No amount of rationalizing will change those facts. A firmware update, if Toshiba decides to offer one, has the potential to make things a little better. I would suggest that they address the clipping on the HDMI port, as that in itself puts the player in the land of "Don't buy! Don't buy! Sell, sell, sell!".
Follow Ups:
Theres also the fact that the colorspace is bass ackwards when you use hdmi/dvi connection.
My player locked up while trying to start an sd dvd twice.
Certain commands on the remote made popping sounds come through my expensive speakers.
The player once asked me to choose between the HD and dvd box on screen while trying to view an sd dvd...evidently thinking it was a hybrid.
The player is louder than my pc as well as my projector.
The player is very susceptable to hum via analog connection.
The 720p output is useless...there for broken, and the remote is terrible.
The players clip both whites/blacks.
Hdmi errors...as well as Blue Screen.These players are advertised with DTS-HD...which they will never do...except converting it to core DTS, and are stuck with 2 channel DD Tru-HD, as well as 1080i.
Did I mention there slow.
I don't know how anyone can say the complaints are over blown?
I saw at AVS were some Warner insiders that are making movies for both formats, have the HD-A1, as well as the Samsung BD player.They said the Samsung is quicker, has no bugs, hdmi errors or fan noise, and they all prefer it to the Toshiba.
Apparently they have actual discs to trip up either formats players.
