Im thinking of replace my HD931 because of the following problems:

*remote layout is pretty bad
*it wont play PAL DVDs
*wont even play the new 16X DVD-R's that I've been burning. It played all kinds of 8X DVD-R media, but its ridcoulous it wont play 16X -R media (even when I reduce the burn speed to 8 or 4).

Samsung says there is new firmware, but not for this problem. I request it and we'll see if their tech support actually sends it. I have been unable to locate Samsung firmware files anywhere on the net.

For the new DVD player, I need one that will play PAL DVDs, have HDTV output of course, either DVI or HDMI, and be more versitle when if comes to play various DVD media.

Any reasonably priced suggestions?

Thanks!
