Samsung BDP1400 Disussion Thread - Page 213

No sure if I can wait for the new Sony's. The new Philip player is tempting but I think of them as being below Samsung when it comes to quality and support so I'll stay way for now.

I am going to be using PCM through analog 5.1 outs.

(no one to blame but me). Still had a 90 warranty with it. All this started in mid Feb. took to late March for Samsung to authorize the return. Now they say they've ordered parts and are on back order.

Just curious...what has your experience been when you had to send something in?

Thanks,
Kevin

I get my 1400 today and I don't want to have a hemorage OOTB.

Would be nice if there was a thread that had the first post with stats about the player and everything nice that could be updated. I have no way to read through this entire thread. Anyone willing to start a new thread and have it updated with info shared by all owners?

Hey buddy, what is the 89 bux for? Not the fan, I hope?

Well my guess is some 8^ Onkyo Auddey Design Engineer defines Listen Position #0 (to get verification of all 8 channels output) and Listening Position #1 as two positions, even though it's exactly the same location!

For a while now I am contemplating going back to 5th grade math and see if I can pass it this time, where I have failed on several occasions miserably!

Forgot I had left the disc inside of it, I turn on the 1400 along with the rest of the components tonight. Guess what? It looked like it was doing the initial load from the beginning, as expected. But it went straight to where I left off last night. A full 24 hours of standby, how is this possible?

I duplicated it again and it works again. Now if I first stop playback then turn off (on standby) the 1400, it loses its memory and would have to reload from the beginning. I imagine if you eject the disc it would do the same. But if you leave the disc inside of it and put it immediately on stanby, then the next time the 1400 starts, it will load the correct location and it also remember the subtitles being turned on and the audio bitstream selected is DTS Master Audio! I know this is something small, but is this the future of "Resume Play" or something similar that the BDA and Sammy are working on? Comments?
