Full HD Blu-ray playback

Digital images are made up of pixels. The more pixels the image is made up of, the clearer, more detailed that picture becomes.

In addition to this, Blu-ray players are capable of outputting High Definition sound for the ultimate movie experience. Your movies will literally be brought to life with Blu-ray.

1080P up-scaling

As well as High Definition Blu-ray titles, Samsung BD players are also compatible with your existing DVD collection and will also upscale these to near full HD, giving far greater picture quality to your existing movies.

HDMI out

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) eliminates the need for multiple cables. It is a digital connectivity standard capable of transmitting the highest quality uncompressed HD digital video and audio content, all through a single cable.

Anynet+

Anynet+ is an AV network system to automatically control Samsung audio-video (AV) devices. There is no need to use different remote controls for different devices. With Anynet+ feature, all you need is one remote control for simple and convenient experience.

HD audio format support

Not only does Blu-ray offer intense movie images, it also completes your experience with High Definition sound. Thanks to Dolby True HD and DTS HD audio the BD-P1580 generates an advanced audio environment which will take your breath away.

BD Live & BonusView

Enjoy more movie fun with Blu-ray thanks to BD live (Profile 2.0) and Bonusview. BonusView feature allows you to watch additional features (commentary, interviews, etc) in a second window while the main movie is playing. BD Live takes movie interactivity one step further allowing you to connect to the internet to access even more content (review, interactive games, interviews) related to the movie you are watching, hosted on servers by the Hollywood studios.

USB host

The USB host feature allows direct playback of music, pictures and video from USB devices to your Samsung Blu-ray player.

Brilliant System 5 Mar 2010
The blu ray player is amazing, it is crystal clear and will play in 1080p. My only worry was when i first went to watch a blu ray it didnt play i tried about 5-6 discs. I then put in a dvd and that played and went back to trying a blu ray and they all worked....no problems since.

If you are however looking for a MULTI REGION dvd/blu ray player this one WILL NOT work, there are lots of codes out there to try and make this one multi region for dvd. Trust me NONE of them work. If your going to import Blu Ray films make sure they are Region A,B & C and then they will work fine.

The firmware updates download quite slowly aswell if you use the player itself, it has a USB port on the front of it so it is possible to download the update onto your PC and then add it to a flash drive and install that way which saves a lot of time.
