Summary: DO NOT BUY - junk/fails after 12 mos w/ no Samsung support
Rating: 1
Bought this player at the end of November 2008 along with a Samsung 52" HD LCD TV. Played all discs w/o problems for the past year - picture and audio quality was great on all discs until 1 month ago. Now player will only play blue-ray discs - which from some reviews I've seen it's lucky to do that. Attempts to play non-blu-ray discs present a "no disc" error. Have researched issue with Samsung & called Samsung support - followed their directions to upgrade firmware and reset settings to factory defaults - with no success. Samsung's remedy is for me to send it in to get it fixed at a cost of approx $150 !? (ridiculous since I can buy a brand new current unit from them or other manufacturuers that price!!!)

This issue is a known problem by Samsung yet they refuse to resolve it. Their forums have numerous complaints on this issue yet no remedy is offered to successfully resolve this problem - and responses/help just stops. They should have a single area/forum to focus on this problem but they do not. Their ignorance of this widespread issue w/ their product is criminal.

I am bitterly disappointed w/ tech support from Samsung & will not be buying any more of their products - back to Sony for me.

Summary: Can play only Blu-Ray disks and nothing else

After looking at the reviews, I was relieved to see that I'm not the only one who got screwed. My player plays only and I mean only Blu-Ray disks. Not one DVD works in this thing. I mean it is a Blu-Ray player, but come on! I lost a chunk of change and will never buy Samsung again.

Had problems with this player as soon as we took it out of the box. Every movie we put in there has a problem somewhere during the duration of the movie. I will never buy another Samsung product again.

Summary: Quality and Service Not That Good

I had bought this player back in November 2009. And I had more problems playing the Blu Ray DVD's than I ever wanted. First, as newer DVD's come out, you always have to check for new Firmware, which you have to always update your player with. Now, a few days after my 3 month warranty for labor expired, my Blu Ray player freezes on Blu Ray discs or has issues with not able to read a Blu Ray disc. But it plays a regular DVD fine. And on top of that, the player gets hot. After calling for service, for a 3 month old machine, they want to charge me over $80 for the labor to fix a new machine, while the parts are free and there was nothing they can do. This is so absurd that a new machine can break so fast. Not happy with the player or Samsungs customer Service.
