Samsung DVD-HD931 HDTV Converter Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great player - Horrible remote
I've been using the HD931 for a little over a week, connected to a 50&quot; Samsung DLP HDTV (HLN507W - outstanding TV!!).  Quality of the output is excellent, both video and audio.  Menus and options are pretty complete; no complaints there.<BR>The big problem is the remote.  It's bad enough that you often have to press buttons *hard* to get a response.  Worse, though, is the general design and layout.  For example, the same button is used to move to the next chapter (press once) and to scan forward (press and hold; after 2 sec, the player starts to go 2x, then 4x, 8x, etc., and you *try* to release when you get to the scan speed you wanted).  One slip and you end up skipping to the next chapter when you only wanted to scan ahead a bit.  Of course, there are buttons to skip back or ahead by 10 secs, but these are nowhere near the normal forward and back buttons!  Neither is the Step button.  Speaking of which, unless I've missed something, you can only step forward, not back; a limitation I would not expect from a player in this price range.  And I've saved the worst for last: the Eject button (the LAST thing you want to hit inadvertently) is just above (and easily mistaken for) the &quot;Chapter/Scan forward&quot; button (probably the most used button during casual viewing).  Can't tell you how many times I've popped the dang disk out when I just wanted to skip a bit, and had to sit through all of the FBI warnings and intro material before navigating back to where I was.  The designers of this remote need to be sent back to Ergonomics 101.<BR>All that aside, the remote is something you can learn to live with; push Play, put down the remote, and enjoy.  4 stars out of 5.
