This recorder has many excellent features but if you want to have the up-converting to 720p or 1080i feature ALONG WITH 5.1 AUDIO then an annoying in-your-face error message saying “HDMI Audio not supported” pops up in the center of the screen for several seconds every time you move around on the disk (like changing chapters, etc.). It can also pop up in the middle of a movie at the layer change. The only way to get rid of this message is to switch to 2.0 PCM audio and lose your 5.1 surround or not use the HDMI output and stay at 480p.
What’s so frustrating is that the unit WILL supply 5.1 audio out of one of its other jacks along with the HDMI video – it just bugs you constantly with this stupid message if you do that.
Another smaller annoyance is if you have a DVD that uses different angles then the word “Angle” appears onscreen with no way to remove it.
I have read online that Samsung issued a firmware fix for one of its other units to cancel all on-screen messages (that you have to reset whenever you re-start the unit) but they went ahead and included the message in the VR335 anyway!
