Hi Domino18,

Did you have your Sim set to Anamorphic, as recormendid by Alan Roser ( Sim MD),

As mentioned in the post that Steve linked to, dont set the Toshiba output to 720p as its pretty poor, make sure its set to 1080i.

Soundwise I believe that unless you use the 6 channel analogue outputs from the Toshiba you only get DTS. Analogue will give you Dolby Digital Plus, but all the other connections (optical, coax, hdmi), convert the dd+ signal into full bitrate DTS before sending it to your amp.
