Enjoy Full HD 1080P picture quality
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. Blu-Ray players' output images at Full HD 1080p generating vividly realistic images with outstanding clarity. 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.
Progressive scan output
Progressive Scan Output scans individual picture lines in sequence rather than alternately, maximising the clarity of digital images and bringing new realism to your DVD viewing experience.
WiFi LAN ready
The BD-P1600 comes with 2x USB ports. One port can be used to expand the players memory to take full advantage of the BD Live features. This leaves a second port free for the Samsung Wifi Dongle (optional accessory). Using the Wifi Dongle allows you to connect the player to your home wireless network for wireless access to BD Live features as well as firmware updates for your player.
Anynet+ delivers one-touch control for all compatible SAMSUNG audio and video devices connected via HDMI
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-P1600 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. With USB host you no longer need to move contents to a PC and burn them into a CD or DVD before playback. Simply plug-in your digital camera, MP3 player or other USB devices and enjoy the content immediately.Box Contains

First foray into the world of Blu-ray and I have to say I'm quite impressed. Superb picture, simple and precise user interface and unique front flip-down design. Does a great job of upscaling DVDs too.
Great extra features. BD-live easy to setup - just hooked it up to my router via ethernet and it was ready to go. You'll need a dedicated 1GB+ USB flash drive though.
USB connectivity and Divx playback are a real plus. No longer need to write video files to disc. Just put them all on a flash drive and away you go. I can even hook up my Sony Ericsson phone, via its USB cable, to access the mp3s and photos stored on the Micro SD card. (This should also work with other FAT32 formatted devices)
Support for more video formats e.g. mpeg 1 & 2 and perhaps even wmv would have been great though. And although it plays the majority of Divx files, it won't play High Definition ones.
Overall I'm very happy with the Samsung BD-1600.
This just in:
The latest firmware upgrade, released September 3rd, gives the BD-1600 and all other 2009 models access to Youtube (provided your player is connected to the Internet of course) and the ability to playback .mkv and .mp4 files. Have just completed the upgrade and am still playing around with it. So far I'm quite pleased. Just a little extra to make the BD-1600 even more impressive.

excellent & versatile player at great price - audio sync due to setting problem
28 Jun 2009
By pulseracing
I was searching for a blu-ray player that would also play DIVX video and this is about the only one out there! When connected to the top of the range Philips ambilight LCDTV we encounted audio sync issues (ie audio not in time with picture). The manual is pretty poor, everything is covered but with no explanation of why you would change a setting. Seeing as sound is only coming from the stereo TV speakers, I turned all the player's audio settings off and the audio was back in sync with the video and still sounded fine :) I don't know if problem was with TV of the player.
Not only does this play divx on DVD, but also there's a USB slot at the front so you can play divx straight from a USB stick, this works extremely well.
The icing on the cake is the super-fast start-up times of this player, a common complaint of many other bluray players its faster than a lot of DVD players out there!

Amazon Verified Purchase
Took it out of the box, plugged it in an away we went. No need for any software update. Paired with a Samsung TV and cinema system works a treat. Slight problem with sound sync initially but otherwise great. I didn't want bells and whistles so this was perfect.
Upscaling of standard DVDs is brilliant, almost like watching for the first time.
Down sides: Just one, all Samsung product are high gloss black which is great but wife complains it shows the dust! I watch the movie, she sees dust.
