Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-P341 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
The DVD-P341 also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Another handy feature is the player's EZ View letterbox eliminator, which lets you enjoy full-screen pictures on 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs--even when you're watching widescreen DVDs.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and warranty information.

Since day one I had issues with it. It defaults to composite video out. It took about an hour of playing with it to get it changed to component video output. The directions don't work as stated. You have to change it to component on the DVD player while it is plugged in with composite video. Then power down your TV and DVD player, unplug your composite video, hook up the component cables and then power on. If this was in the manual, it'd have saved me an hour. I guess I assumed you could start with components or change without power down after changing it in the menu. You know what they say about assuming.
What else? The power button on the front of the display does not work. The fast-forward/rewind/play/stop button doesn't work. The open/close button has worked on only one day. I've searched online and the manual for resolutions but have found none. I had problems getting it to open at all on one occasion, the tray...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Samsung DVD-P341 DVD Player with Multicard Memory Slot (Electronics) This player has many good features. They have been given by others so I won't repeat them. But it has some problems.
First, it won't load folders on mp3 CDs with names longer than 32 characters. It hangs on them with a "Loading" message and I have to eject the disc. My old cheap as you can buy player has no problems with these same discs, and the same folders play fine on two different brands of portable players. I tried to get help from Samsung - the second problem. They strung me along for more than a month with lame excuses until it was too late to return the player. I even asked them to tell me if they didn't intend to help so I could quit wasting time. They responded with apologies, more excuses, and promises that a product specialist would contact me. One finally emailed me with simple suggestions after I threatened to write bad reviews when a month passed, but I had to find the folder naming problem myself. Then I found another problem...Read more 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By Gene (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Samsung DVD-P341 DVD Player with Multicard Memory Slot (Electronics) This is a very nice dvd player, and Im very happy with the quality, and features. The only problem with this DVD player is that it wont play VCD's or SACD's. Some people say that you have to use CD-RW and Not just CD-R disks for it to play VCD's but I have yet to try that. Just about every dvd player will play VCD (even a 2 yr old apex dvd player)except this one. Thats the only downside to this player. The memory card reader works superb and the menu is chocked full of options. And with progressive scan on and 5.1ch enabled it is awesome. I would definitely recommend this player to anyone who wants a extremely good DVD player with enough features to please almost everyone. |
