Copy of e-mail sent to Samsung regarding the above.
I assumed that the HDMI connection was a HiDef. version of the scart and would therefore automatically switch the TV to the HDMI input when a connected device is powered on and release it on power off in the same way as scart does.
It appears that this in not the case as my LE37R88BD will not switch to HDMI1 when my BT Vision box is powered up. This fact is NOT mentioned in the manual and I can't find an answer in your FAQs.
Also, the remote control has the facility to control 4 other items of equipment, DVD, VCR, STB & Cable. I have tried all codes from 000 to 080 in each of the device control modes and can not control a Sky box. It wouold appear that there are quite a few others with the same complaint.
Some have been told by SAMSUNG that it is up to SKY to provide the code. How can this be the case? Samsung make & program the remote control so how can it be SKY's fault that the SAMSUNG remote does not control the SKY box. The SKY remote WILL control the basic funtions of a Samsung TV. Surely a SAMSUNG remote (with the facility to control a STB) should control the basic functions of a SKY box.
The SAMSUNG remote is designed to be a 'one for all' control hence the TV + 4 modes but all I am able to do with it is control the TV & most of the basic functions of my DVD/HD recorder.
In addition to the above, the small buttons crammed together at the bottom of the remote makes the remote the weak link in an otherwise good product.
Will post copy of reply if & when I get one.
