QuestionWhat can I do with the USB 3.0 port (located on the side of the unit)? Can I hook up a external hard drive and view content from said hard drive? Not sure what it’s capabilities.
Asked 7 years ago by BestBuyGuy.
- Answer You can play media from a USB stick. It's also used to update the software in case you don't hook it into the Internet. It's also used to store BD-Live content which sounds grat but in reality is often used to download more trailers (commercials) so you might not want to keep it in all the time if you want to skip commercials. You can also hook up a USB keyboard for typing in search terms though wired keyboards are listed as unsupported.

QuestionWill this player support an external hard drive that is formatted to NTFS. If so is there a limit to the GB file size it will play?
Asked 7 years ago by NTFS.
- Answer NTFS is a listed supported file system and you'll never hit the file size limit. exFAT is NOT listed as a supported file system but if it's working for the other answerer then perhaps there was an update. The file size limitation for NTFS is NOT 4GB. It's much higher.

QuestionI had a K8500 and upgraded to this M9500. M9500 does not have BD Wise which I thought optimizes Best picture when paired with a BD Wise TV. why doesn't M9500 have it and does the pic quality suffer for not having it?
Asked 8 years ago by Checo.
- Answer The M9500 is built much sturdier with improved components. The K8500 was there first ultra HD blu-ray player and the current model is a step up in performance and quality. However, the M9500 doe not support 3D whereas the K8500 does.

QuestionI bought the Samsung UBD-M9500 Blu-Ray player and HW-N950 Soundbar. The Atmos notice isn't coming up on the soundbar when I play an Atmos disc, but it does when I use my X-Box. Both are plugged directly into the soundbar HDMI ports. Please explain.

- Answer Your player defaults to Auto for audio format. If it isn't detecting the capabilities of the sound bar try going in to settings/sound and change the output method to Bitstream.

QuestionTwo questions: does this device support Dolby Atmos for 4k disc and streaming? Does the device support 4k streaming with HDR for both Netflix and vudu?
Asked 7 years ago by Peep.
- Answer The player supports Atmos and DTS:X via Bitstream in passthrough mode. This means the player just sends the raw sound data to the receiver or soundbar and the receiving devices decodes it instead of the players. Netflix is a bit weird for Atmos as they have enabled it for devices that encapsulate Atmos which is only a few devices and no players that I'm aware of. There's not that much out there and only one Atmos title on Amazon Prime but you can get that to work. VUDU should work fine but I haven't tested it. As far as streaming HDR it works with both Netflx and Amazon and should work with VUDU but as I said I haven't tested it. I imagine Netflix will open up to more devices in 2019 as far as Atmos goes for their small selection.

QuestionI just bought the Samsung Q7C (QN55Q7CAMFXZA) and currently have an xbox one s to play my 4k movies on. My xbox only plays at 60 hz but this tv is capable of 120hz will it upscale my xbox? Would this 4k player play at 60 hz or 120 hz? Thanks!
Asked 8 years ago by Brent.
- Answer Anyone with a Q series TV should compliment it with this player. I have the same XBOX and there are a couple of quirks. First the menus etc. like the data shown when you press pause on the XBOX can't hold a candle to the experience of the Samsung player. While it might be easy to control once you are inside, it's a few extra clicks to get started on the XBOX. You also have to install Atmos separately on the XBOX which has the weird effect of encapsulating everything. You could be listening to a 2 channel stereo track but your receiver will report it as Atmos because the XBOX is encoding EVERYTHING that way. No telling what that does to the upscalers. On the other hand because of this encapsulation, Netflix allows Atmos content on the XBOX for a slim number of titles. So if you have Atmos then play those titles on the XBOX but for everything else do it on a more complete player. If you have a Q series TV and don't have Atmos then you've got some more purchasing to do.
