Samsung BD-UP5000

Pros: Excellent Blu-ray and HD DVD reproduction

Cons: Misleading specifications

Summary: I purchased this player to replace an LG BH-100 hoping to solve all that player's problems. I succeeded to a great degree, however, the BD-UP5000 taunted it's ability to decode the newer Dolby TrueHD codec a bit too soon. The BD-UP5000 manual has this nasty little note at the bottom of page 10: "When playing a Dolby TrueHD disc, audio will only be heard over the front left and right speakers."
If that isn't misleading I don't understand the meaning of the word. When I played a disc that had Dolby TrueHD and selected that output I got an on-screen message stating that the player "does not support Dolby TrueHD output, please select another source."
Now I know that this player was late to market and that they already supposedly have the BD-UP5500 in the works, but to release a product that states in all the literature that it has a certain capability and then retract that in the "fine print" is inexcusable.
