James, I had HDMI "handshake" issues with the 1st Generation Toshiba HD A1 HD DVD player, so it went back. I now have the 2nd Generation HD A2. Halaluya...no more snapping! It is funny, becuase I still kind of wince every time I go to press a button on the remote. I guess I will get used to a properly functioning unit sooner or later.
