Product Description
Samsung's DVD-HD841 delivers scintillating video and audio performance at an eye-popping price. Between the unit's progressive-scan component-video and DVI digital-video outputs, sophisticated high-definition upconversion (from 480i/p DVD-Video to 720p, 768p, or 1080i, depending on your HDTV), and processing abilities for the audio-only SACD (Super Audio CD) and DVD-Audio formats, this player quite nearly does it all. Samsung's video upconversion technology eliminates visible scan lines and artifacts arising from interlaced video and the 3:2 pulldown process required to render film-based movies as NTSC video. The result: higher resolution from conventional sources and sharper images with few motion artifacts. The player's DVI digital-video output may be used for lossless video transmission between the player and compatible TVs and computer monitors.

I helped a friend set one up. My only beef is with the bass managment. There doesn't seem to really be any. Maybe it's preset at 120 hz or something and without a gain control...dunno.

I am curious, why would one do base management at the DVD level instead of with your receiver?

Seeing that you are without an answer from one of the experts, I will give it a try...

I'm quite sure he's talking about bass management in Multi Channel operation (playing SACD or DVD-A) and not with digital connection to the a/v for DD or DTS audio. The crossover is dependent on the DVD player here and not the a/v. The other solution is to wire the sub (High Level) from the Front speakers and use the sub's crossover for bass frequencies.

That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

[pokeme5x]

What he posted was a Refurb... so I posted a refurb too. Also refurbs are just a case to case basis, sometimes its perfect sometimes its crap.
