I'm a bit confused, are you playing your audio through your RPTV's speakers or are you using Axiom speakers? Your not going to get great acoustics out of built in RPTV speakers. I have a toshiba 2750 dvd player that is about 4 years old and the video is fabulous on my Toshiba flatscreen 32". As for sound, it is also very very good playing through my Denon 2805 and Axiom speakers. Also, what receiver are you using. Did you check the menu's within the DVD players setup screens? My toshiba has various settings, Pcm, bitstream, built in 3d spatializer, etc...
