Hi,
Just got one of these as a "free" replacement for my old Pana that I returned to Argos. That's another story on it's own
The Samsung does odd things such as,
If you do a timer recording and then remove the disc it appears to not go back into standby fully. It leaves the fan on. Pressing open/close again and it does switch off.
Yesterday went to press open/close to remove a disc and it just remained with "load" showing on the front display. Again had to switch off and on.
Now this is the second one I have had, returned the first straight away.
Cannot always access text mode. Just remains with the picture on screen. Disconnect the mains for a moment and it's OK if VERY slow.
Can take up to a minute and a half to "grab" a text page.
The fan issue again, by just opening and closing the tray with a disc in you can get it to not only leave the fan on in standby but you can hear the disc running as well ( you can hear the laser assembly "focused and tracking correctly ). I left it like this for two hours. Switch on out of standby and then put back to standby and it shuts off correctly.
