User's Manual? I've been searching on the Samsung website for the user's manual for this model DVD player and cannot find it. Anyone out there have any luck?

I bought a floor model & having the same problem. So far no luck locating a DVD. If I get luky and likewise, hopefully we can share the info. Thanks, Debbie

I know how irritating it can get when you get a lemon, this will happen with most any brand of dvd. Samsung is the best in my book. I may only be saying this because I have not had any problems with my unit. "Yet" Have you called the store or on line dealler? Have you ask to speak to the No Customer Satisfaction Office? If you put it on a credit card, have you called your card carrier? Have you called the tv station news? There is a saying you are sure to miss 100% of the time for every shot you don't take. Good luck.

Hi there, there is no sort of manual and should work immediately as it did with my blu ray player. I hope this helps, and if it's the wrong one, sent it back and hopefully you find the correct one

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Do you guys own it? is it worth to get this player? I have not seen any actual reviews from people about this player yet.

There are two ways to get the firmware for this unit. The fastest is of course to download it from Samsung.com. However, if you have the model and serial number of your player you can request Samsung send you a disk. It's simply a burned disk with the firmware already on it but it will work just the same. I realize sometimes Samsung tech support leaves something to be desired as far as customer service, but it all depends who you get. Some of the agents are better than others. Most of the agents and supervisors I've dealt with are very nice and helpful, of course you always have the bad apples. Anyway, I do recommend making sure you actually need the firmware before you get it, because if you install firmware you don't need it's my understanding it does more harm than good.

Beats me. I could not get this player to work for me. I would have sent back except cost more than worth. Sorry I can't help you

This is straight out of my manual that came with the TV. Go to your source menu and scroll down to DVD. Select the DVD mode and then Insert your DVD. The data side of the Disc has to face towards the front of the unit. The player will load the Disc automatically and there will be an on screen indication letting you know that the Disc is reading properly. The DVD will switch to play mode automatically. The on screen Disc Menu will display for your selection. I'E' Play, Rewind, Fast forward, Etc. I have two of these 15 inch Curtis TV'S and both DVD players work just fine. If you still have problems with the DVD you might have to send the TV back for an exchange or a refund. Good luck!

I have yet to even get my DVD player to work, so you have exceeded what I can do. I should ask how you got yours to work. ??? I haven't even been able to get an answer from RCA.

You're welcome. I ended up adjusting the screen size through my HDTV, I have a Samsung that has a 'fill screen option' and it seems to work better because it doesn't cut the edges off. I love the quality of the picture of my dvds. so much better than the regular dvd player I had. Maybe some day I'll switch to Blu-ray, but for now this works just great!

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

Does the Samsung dvd player make a strange grinding sound when attempting to load dvd's? I'm thinking my unit is broken. Also, it keeps rejecting the dvd so that does not work at all.

Peter, can you share names / websites of these independent sellers of blu-ray disc players? I'd like a blu-ray disc player that plays PAL and NTSC blu-ray and DVD discs from all regions (if such players are available). Thank you.

Thanks, Tolik - you helped me decide- upgradability and the game modes are big things. The Samsung seemed to have more power but I've learned you can't really rely on what they say the wattage is. I haven't owned enough Samsung equipment in the past to know what to expect - the TV is great but a sound system is another story.Mark - thanks for the CD info - for some reason I thought I'd get even better sound with a dedicated player ... if you can give me the model # on the Kenwood I might be interested (with over 400 CDS, a changer is sweet.).Don

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

I'm confused... The specs on this page and in the downloadable user manual both say it has repeat...That's the main thing I need on a portable DVD player and why I was considering this one....However, it doesn't go into detail about the repeat, is it repeat for title, chapter, A-B, or all three?I need the A-B repeatWhat gives?
