Great Player
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pleased with this purchase, which replaces an 8 yr old 1st generation player with limited internet offerings and a sticky disk drawer. Unit set-up was a breeze and the player offers more smart TV options than anyone could possible need, including Netflix, Hula +, YouTube, and Amazon Prime. All of them stream flawlessly (and in 5.1 sound for some Amazon selections) from my router across the room. Best part is that I have over 600 digital HD movies stored on a 4 TB hard drive connected to my router (NAS). This player recognizes that drive thru my wi-fi and plays all those movies - mostly in MKV, but I haven't yet encountered a format it won't play - like my own personal Netflix for anyone in my household. I imagine it would play my 800 GB music library the same way, tho I haven't tried that yet. The only drawbacks: 1) Absolutely no lights on the unit so one can't tell if it's on or off without firing up the TV. 2) A unit with this many modern features should offer a gigabit wi-fi AC connection. That option on my home network does not appear as a choice in the set-up menu. Aside from those minor quibbles. this is a great player at 1/3 the size and 1/2 the price I paid for my 8 yr old unit. Buy with confidence.

Loads slowly

Hold off
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 2 of these and at fist they were great, but then when I did a software update to both one wouldn't connect to the internet and when I tried to play a DVD it would keep pausing every 10 seconds or so. I figured it would be easier to replace it rather than trying to warranty it so I purchased a new one, well the same thing happened, I did a software update and no connection to the internet and the DVD wouldn't work, I did an exchange and didn't do a software up date but when I tried the DVD it kept pausing every 10 seconds or so again. Now the one that was working wants me to update the software again, I do so reluctantly, and when I do the update and it restarts it freezes during the restart and I have to unplug it to get it to work again without finishing the death update...... On a side note I did contact Samsung and their help desk was terrible, they blamed my ISP for the player not connecting to the internet and said there was nothing they could do without it having connection.

Not What You Think
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I usually love all Samsung products, but this one is disappointing. It comes with a couple of popular apps (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) but when you are wanting to download a different popular app that isn't already there, you won't be able to. Previous versions of their BluRay players included the SmartHub, but this one doesn't. Sad day for Samsung lovers.

Inconsistent Performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The setup was easy and the system worked perfectly for about a week. After a week, the remote could not power up or operate the player and player would display the options screen with no response. The problem was not the remote; the remote could not operate the player, but it could operate my Samsung TV. The player would not respond to the remote; I would have to manually turn the power off and on using the power button on the player. I was able to manually open and close the DVD tray, but was unable to play any DVDs. The only solution was to disconnect the power and/or HDMI cable to reboot the player. I do not always have this issue with the player, but the fact that it happens at all is an issue. I am glad I purchased the Best Buy extended warranty so I will be returning the player for a different brand. Reading the reviews, I noticed this issue is not limited to my player.
