Page 1 of Is the Samsung 511 ment to hiss when playing a DVD? Should i take it back?

Got this player on the 3rd of feb, i`ll really impressed with it but it seems to hiss a lot when playing back DVD`s, is this ment to happen? It`s OK when there is a loud sceen but when it`s a quited movie it really gets anoying, it`s my first player so any hellp would be great, cheers

Bought from Currys just to let you know, the place where low prices are rare and extra cover care is made out to be worth the extra 150 quid!

You taking about a whirring noise??? If so, I have that problem with my Wharfdale. I have been informed that it is a thing i have to live with, if i keep the machine. It`s damned annoying i know. I have mine in a box, stuffed with cotton wool and surrounded be egg cartons. SWEET !!
Can`t hear a thing, damn awkward to change discs though. :)
Nah, joking aside. I think it`s a case of bad design or cheap components in the case of my player. Not so sure about Samsung.
The best thing to do is to ring Samsung directly or e-mail with your problem. Good luck

So what do ya think are my chances of taking it back and exchanging it for the LG 3350e or somthin else?

Well, how long have u had the machine??? All boxes and packaging is always good, a of course the reciept. If it is a "one off" problem you should have no problems getting an exchange. If you have had it for a long period of time they might insist on a repair or same machine. Try Samsung customer support first to see if it is a generic problem, then goto currys with the problem, backed up with the evidence from Samsung.

Just go for it, you never know!!!

cheers BA

I have just read your original message. You said you bought it on the 3rd feb, well you should have no problems getting an exchange. Don`t let them fob you off with garbage, just tell them what you want !!

Cheers BA, i think i`ll take it back Friday and get the LG 3350e.

The Samsung 709 and 811 do the same. It appears to happen on all Samsung DVD Players.
