Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2?

I managed to find and purchase a demo XA2 and looking forward to trying it as soon as I get an HDMI cable in the mail. But one thing that's puzzling me is that the rear fan noise is a bit louder than what I'm used to hearing from an A/V device. It's not a whining or clicking noise, just a normal fan sound. For those of you that have owned an XA2, is it normal to hear the fan quite a bit when the unit is idle with no disc?

I've never noticed any noise while watching a movie on mine.

My HD-A35 is also quite noisy.
I think it is an internal hard drive.
Remember: HD players are more computer than DVD player.

My A3 also has a fan and I can hear it from miles away. Ok, maybe not that loud, but I definitely can hear it from 5' away but then I do think I have good hearing otherwise I would not be an audiophile. Not a concern for movie though.

Hey I know the Best Buy's, and the likes, have been dumping these Tosh's at like $99-$127 or whatever. Anyone know if any of the disco'd models pass Dolby-HD or DTS-Master from the HDMI 1.3 out? - or do they any even process HD Digital internally, let alone pass it through a digital out?
