From what I understand We cannot get the HD sound over analog outputs. I think we need HDMI. This is from ZDnet:

"While we have not reviewed the HD-A35, we have reviewed the similar step-down model, the HD-A30. The models are very similar, with the major difference being that the HD-A35 adds support for bit stream output of the new high-resolution soundtrack formats, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Bit stream output of these soundtracks means that the encoded audio can be sent to a compatible AV receiver with onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding. This might be a worthwhile upgrade for audiophiles with new AV receivers, who want to hear the full resolution of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks."

This is from AVS forum:

"HBR is NOT possible as a digital audio signal over the 5.1 analog outs, but the HD audio formats ARE output via an analog signal over the 5.1 analog outs."

Ensuring Compatibility Between Next-Generation High-Definition Disc Players and Your A/V System

Multichannel Analog Connection

A next-generation optical player may also include line-level audio outputs derived from the multichannel mixed PCM signal passed through digital-to-analog converters. The advent of SACD and DVD-Audio in recent years has led to the incorporation of 5.1 and even 7.1 external inputs on many A/V receivers. If your A/V receiver is equipped with 5.1 or 7.1 external audio inputs, the selection of an optical player equipped with 5.1- or 7.1-channel line-level outputs will provide full-bandwidth reproduction of the audio signal originating from your HD player.


Figure 3 Connection via Multichannel Analog Inputs

A connection through either of these existing interfaces will let you experience the full potential of the high-resolution audio delivered on next-generation optical formats.

HD DVD: Audio Mixing, and why you don't need HDMI

If you receiver can take the 5.1 outputs then that is the preferred route (there is no quality difference between analog 5.1 and HDMI PCM), but if not the S/PDIF still gets you the 5.1 channels, but at potentially lower quality. (Some of the Toshiba second-gen players do not have the 5.1 analog outputs so your choices on those are S/PDIF or HDMI only).

Back to $329.98 and currently OOS as of 12/17 @ 10:12 AM PST...is this an HD DVD player or a share, the way the price keeps fluctuating so often?

FWIW--I'm talking semantics here, but the "10 Free HD DVDs now" is not exactly correct; you don't get all 10 "now"--you get 2 in the box plus an additional three you pick out during the order process, then after you receive your unit you then have to send in the MIR for the additional five movies. I'm sure most folks know how the exact deal for the 10 free movies works, but I can see how your average J6P could interpret the title as meaning that he gets his 10 free movies right at the time of ordering and/or when his package arrives, rather than having to do some additional stuff--and quite a bit more waiting--in order to receive his 5 additional free titles. That's not exactly getting your 10 free HD DVDs "now"...

Re: $339.98 Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player Plus 10 FREE HD DVDs Now @ Amazon

Someone @ AVS Forum reported that Amazon HD-A35 went down to $299.99, so, ... I emailed Amazon CS yesterday to get another $24.75 Refund to match HD-A35 $299.99 sale price (originally $359 +12 FREE HD DVDs).

This morning, I got the approval email but they Refunded me $31.46!!! I guess the HD-A35 price went even lower ($293.28?) for an hour or so!?!?!?

Thank YOU Amazon!!!
