Hello,
I have the Toshiba EP35 1.3 HDMI HD-dvd player.
It shows 2ch or nothing, i have never seen Multichannel on the display.
The Receiver Onkyo 805 shows on his display TrueHD or DD plus.
And it's sound great!

On PCM the Toshiba shows "Multichannel", but on bitstream he shows 2channel and playing the same move a next time nothing.

Greetings from The Netherlands,
Bobby
