It will require HDMI 1.3 to send any of the new codecs natively (undecoded) via HDMI. If you use the TOSlink or coax output, the DD+ will be decoded in the player to PCM and then converted to DTS via the Toshiba's onboard encoder (Toshiba chose this method to get multichannel via the TOSlink/coax digital connection on their player).The low sound is due to two things: #1, the ball was dropped in the QC department and #2 in order for the audio not to clip when those asinine button activated sound effects are combined with the movie's audio, the audio level for the movie had to be lowered (you can thank Warner Bros for that useless/irritating crap).
The load times are slow due to what's needed for startup (lots on the checklist). This, combined with the fact that there's some discontinued Intel Pentium chip in there for processing -- which was slow for computer use, gets you a long wait time.
