The USB known as Wiselink, allows you to plug in your USB device (flash drive) and play music or view pictures. It doesn't say if you can play Divx or other downloaded movies. I hope that through firmware updates I'll be able to get English. Might even purchase the English remote from the US. More tomorrow after the unit arrives...

Don't hold your breath. Chances are slim to none on made-for-Korea models. Check my last post on page 1 of this thread.

Don't waste your money. You'll figure the keys out quickly enough by trial and error. You can even learn a little Korean in the process. Smile

Oh, I almost forgot..go to the American Samsung site and download the English manual for the model most similar to yours. That will help a lot with the translation.

Good luck. I'm sure you'll have a terrific time with your new set in spite of the language difficulties. I love my PAVV Smile

I emailed Samsung in the US and got blown off. Basically they want nothing to do with you unless you have a US purchased Samsung. I have downloaded the manual but it's just the convenience of picking up the remote and being able to navigate easily and without too much thought... I am loving the 3 HDMI ports and the side USB. Has anyone been able to figure out how to use the S-video from your computer to your TV? Someone mentioned that you may have to reduce the computer's screen resolution to its lowest level, as a starter. I've tried plugging in the S-Video cable with no luck.

i don't think there's an English option.

We were looking to put Samsung TVs and such into a yacht to export and our only option to get an English version of the TV was to re-import them from Singapore or something.

Samsung will not sell their "export" product domestically in Korea.
