    Samsung BD-P1400 problems

    I have owned this player for about 10 months (purchased new from Newegg) and am tired of dealing with it. Firmware is upto date and unit is connected to my a/v receiver via HDMI. Since I purchased unit, I would estimate that any blu ray disk i have player in it, maybe 1 in 3 would playback...

    not impressed with samsung bd1400

    ill upgrade the firmware this afternoon, will try the b r disk after that. i am not a fan of technology when it it gets in my way. im not a big fan of sony/bmg anyway because of the root kit/copy protection technology that they placed on CD's.

    not impressed with samsung bd1400

    Configuring Toshiba A2 HDDVD player

    <Scratches head> I could swear I answered the wide screen question. Yes it is a wide screen DVD. And it is displayed as a 4x3 picture the black side bars on both sides of the 4x3 picture, and has black bars above and below the image within the 4x3 picture.

    Not at all, there are bars on either side of the 4x3 picture. For some reason its not "stretching". Its stretching fine with my Directv HR21, also connected using an hdmi cable, all sd programing stretches to 16x9 so I know its not an HDMI issue

    My issue is with standard DVD's. They play in a 4x3 box, not full screen. I have the resotion set for upto 1080i and the picture shape is set to 16x9. I am using the supplied HDMI cable connecting to an Olevia LT42HVi LCD.
