Did you ever get this fixed? My parents just purchased the same TV and are looking into a low cost reciever. I told them they should get a matched Samsung reciever so they can use the HDMI control options available with samsung.
Samsungs website has firmware updates for the TV, not sure if they fix anything? May already be fixed since it was ordered, hopefully it has the latest firmware aready on it.
The model you have is only dvd. I dont think they want blueray due to the extra price of it.
Anyways if the samsung theater system and TV work with one remote thats all i really care they have. before they had like 5 controls
