Samsung DVD-HD841 Up-Converting DVD Player
Great player but a word of warning
I really liked this player, I wanted the DVI to HDMI to go with my new Sony TV but after some real hair pulling investigation I spoke with tech support for both companies. <br />It turns out that for some reason the TV that I chose does not see the audio input from the DVD player when the HDMI input is used (video 7). <br />I am not sure if the triggering mechanism is not sensitive enough, if the audio output from the player is not strong enough or if the TV just wasn't designed right to work with this sort of interface. <br />I did a lot of research and Sony even called me back twice to thank me for helping them figure out what was going on. <br />I know there is at least one poor other guy who went through the same thing I did out there. <br />I took the player back because I really want the 1080i on the HDMI input but there are no other reasonably priced players on the market that will do it. <br />I already have my eye on the 941 because it will have the HDMI to HDMI interface my TV needs which I believe will include digital audio to the set and hopefully a nice output for my surround as well. <br /> <br />All in all I really liked the 841 player but be sure not to get the Sony WEGA FD Trinitron 32\\" flat screen HD ready television. <br />Everything will work beautifully but you will have no sound with the DVI to HDMI Video 7 input. <br /> <br />I am sure it's a set specific problem so don't shy away from either piece of equipment, just don't buy them together. <br /> <br />I love the set too! <br /> <br />
