Do both!  There are lots of cheap Blu-ray players with Netflix integration already out, or coming soon.  Since Netflix is the cheapest way to get Blu-ray rentals, and you get the streaming free along with that, it's a no...

The odds of your TV responding to discrete input codes is better than you think.  There are tons & tons of TVs out there that respond to such codes despite not having the buttons on the OEM remote.  It's...

On most of these DVD/VCR combos, the video circuitry of the two players is almost completely independent of each other, I don't think I've ever seen one where the VHS side can output component or HDMI.  For this...

I don't think you can achieve what you want with that particular system.  You need an "all channel" mode which it just doesn't have.  All the surround DSP modes on that are to create ambient effects,...

Check the audio settings on the player.  Make sure it's set to bitstream out.

There are two possible ways to fix this, it depends on how your TV behaves and if the remote has codes for direct input selection (the TV may respond to codes in the Harmony database for this even though the supplied original...

Samsungs typically support discrete input codes, but they aren't on the original remote so your universal remote has to be of the computer programmable variety to get the code on there.

Also check the DVD player audio setting, make sure it is set to "bitstream" not "PCM".What are your speaker size settings, did you check levels with a sound meter?Also realize that DVD will often have a...

Some things to try for better Harmony operation: adjust the power on delay for the TV, long enough for it to reliably respond to input change requests(devices/more options/adjust delays)(adjust inputs): if possible use "discrete...
