problems displaying Samsung dvd player: Help?
350568
This receiver has multiple problems with the HDMI cards going bad. My receiver worked for a year with my Sony Playstation plugged into the DVD input. Suddenly, less that a month after return to Amazon had expired, the HDMI card either went bad or problems developed with the handshake (do a google search and you will see multiple discussions on these problems with Onkyo receivers.). I also just found out after reading the fine print of Amazon's return policy that if you take the receiver in to be worked on by Onkyo, they most likely will not honor the warranty because you purchased from Amazon, who is NOT an authorized dealer, which is the only way they will honor the warranty. Bottom line, I'm screwed, after spending $1000 dollars on what I thought was a great product, and Amazon a dealer I could trust to back products and sell products as an Authorized dealer! I would not buy this product! Buy a Pioneer or some other reputable brand and buy from an Authorized dealer and not Amazon!

I play DVD's all the time on my TV and have never had an issue with the stock settings. Are you using appropriate HDMI cables for the connection to the TV? Sounds like you have a cable issue, not a TV issue.

Hi:I registered my DVD player on August 11th. As I remember I had a problem also. I was able to register it under DVP-FX970. Try adding a 0. Good luck. Judy

I have tried all setting on my Tablet DVD Player and cannot get the screen to go to color. I had bought this item in OCT for a christmas present for my son, decided to do Operations check on it and found that the display was not working properly. What can i do to fix this problem. Thank you in advance.

I had this problem about 18 months ago. I found a forum that said the problem could be resolved by a firmware upgrade. I downloaded the latest firmware from Samsung's website and installed. Fixed! The problem has not reoccurred.

Progressive Scan DVD players are not upconverting so I would suggest an upconverting dvd player with and HDMI cable for best results on your lcd

I fixed mine by using a computer with an internal disc drive to transfer the driver files from the installation disc to a USB and re-installed the drivers for the external player from the USB. You could also try to download the drivers from ASUS, but I had no luck with that. Hope this helps

Chel J., No, there is not a built-in DVD player on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

It has something to do with the refresh rate, I think. My Samsung gave me a "unsupported imput" error message.

I don't rememebr. Shortly after I bought it, the DVD/Blue Ray stopped working. Samsung customer support told me to pack sand, so I threw it out. Do not buy that.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

It played Mp3 and I never tried a DVD+-R, The problem was it did not play some new Blu-Rays and kept an annoying wi-fi signal flashing on the screen at all times during movies. I returned it to the store and purchased a Samsung and it works fine.

Hi. I just bought one of these myself and have a 40 inch Samsung HD- LCD tv and I have noticed this same thing and it will look like this on some DVD's. I put the player on "Dynamic 2" setting under "adjusting the playback picture" found on page 33 of the manual and it makes the picture a little better. Try that out and I hope it helps! Jay
