you can disable the messages in the dvd setup, but when you turn off the machine it looses that setting. likewise you can turn off the bright display
if you change the audio out from PCM to bitstream, the audio will carry via hdmi and you shouldn't get the message, but not much use if you want to output bitstream from the dvd player direct to a 5.1 amp
you either turn off the message or live with it otherwise. there is no firmware fix and as the 860/960 models are due out, i don't think they will bother. a number of people have reported the issue to samsung, so they know about it

Bum....you'd think this would be a fairly easy fix. I am aware that you can turn the messages on/off...it's just, i don't think it should be necessary.
If i've got an HDMI TV and an HDMI dvd player, surely EVERYTHING should be compatible? The silliness of these annoying bugs is to close to the realm of P.C.'s.
Thanks for your input!

Alan,
I've got the dvd player connected to my Sherwood amp for all round DD-EX and DTS-ES goodness...still get the message....
I rang Samsung today and they said that the fault lies with the TV!
So, i'll probably have to contact Sony to get their response to the question, "Why does your HDMI TV not support HDMI audio?"
It's all getting a bit silly innit?

Well, I've got mine connected to a Samsung TV, and I get the message. Maybe Samsung's DVD division will blame Samsung's TV division?antilles said:

Samsung is wrong. It's not the TV's fault. It does support HDMI audio if you change it to PCM in the DVD-player. But the TV doesn't of course support 5.1-audio which you are sending it if you have enabled bitstream, and that's why you get the error-message. But then again, you want to have it as bitstream since you have an external amplifier.antilles said:
So as someone said, yuo'll have to live with it or get a new player. They should make a player where you can choose the audio settings separately for the HDMI and optical outputs.
There is no technical reason for this not to work automatically if they coded it that way. My Panasonic S97 is set to output bitstream but it detects the HDMI audio connection only supports PCM and automatically switches to PCM for that connection. This is confirmed via the player's "HDMI Status" screen.ZaforZ said:
