Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

1080P Upscaling

Samsung’s 1080P feature allows you to enjoy near to full HD video quality and superb sound. This advanced feature will upscale DVDs to near full HD, giving far greater picture quality to your existing movie collection.

Enjoy near HD quality movies by upscaling your DVDs
Upscale DVDs to near full HD, giving far greater picture quality to your existing movie collection

HDMI Out

Faster, more efficient data transfer is enabled by the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connection. Pure, uncompressed streams of digital data are transmitted, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of the highest level sound and image quality. Simply connect an HDMI cable from the DVD player to your TV and enjoy pure digital perfection.

BD Wise

Want your standard DVD movies to look as good as Blu-ray discs do? No problem. We created BD Wise, a feature found on Samsung DVD players that, when used with an HDMI cable, automatically detects the optimal resolution for your discs and adjusts your Samsung HDTV to the perfect setting. This way you can spend more time enjoying great-looking movies and less time fiddling with settings.

Control all your compatible Samsung devices with one remote control
Anynet+ delivers one-touch control for all compatible SAMSUNG audio and video devices connected via HDMI

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.

USB Host Play with CD Ripping

The USB connection and CD Ripping features allow you to enjoy your media files whether you are at home or on the move. Digital media that you have stored on your MP3 player, camera, camcorder, or USB memory can be played through your Samsung DVD player and enjoyed on your TV, and CD audio discs can be ripped and converted to MP3 format so that you can store them on your portable media player.

DivX Playback

Wit DivX playback, you can insert DVDs and CDs that have DivX movies downloaded from your computer and watch them on your TV.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I did some research before replacing our old £20 Tesco DVD player and decided that this was the right product for us.

Sadly it didn't work for us. I installed the player and popped a rental DVD in to check the setup, all looked fine. A couple of days later the kids sat down to use it properly for the first time but complained of pixellation, I tried a couple of other DVDs (kids can be hard on them) but it wouldn't read any of them properly. I returned to the original DVD that I had set it up with and now it couldn't read that properly either. It seemed that the machine was faulty.

So I used Amazon's return service for the first time, very impressive, by the end of the next day my faulty player had been collected and a new one delivered (by 2 separate couriers).

This player seemed better but it still had trouble reading a couple of DVDs, sometimes very noisy and jerky. I watched one programme until half-way before the DVD froze and my Star Wars Episode III DVD only loaded on the third attempt (and was still noisy).

As other reviewers have had good experiences I assume that my players are part of a faulty batch but I have decided not to try a third time so I am returning this player for a refund and will look for a different model as a replacement.

I'd been looking for the perfect DVD player for me for quite a bit. This Samsung does it for me! The above-mentioned region code works fine! It plays my American DVD's perfectly as well as everything (DivX) from my 32GB USB pen. I have not tried my HDD yet.
I have it connected via HDMI to my Samsung TV, the picture quality is great too. I got nothing to complain!
My previous player was a Phillips, upscaling, USB etc as well. I guess they are equally good, however the Samsung is ready a lot quicker to play a DVD! If you do not want Blue Ray, this one is great!!

The first unit purchased would only play CDs so I returned it to Amazon and the replacement arrived very promptly.
I am very pleased with the picture quality on a HD TV using the HDMI connection. It is a big improvement in all respects on my Pioneer using RGB. The upscaling produces near Blu-ray quality from good DVD recordings.
The USB input produces excellent pictures from JPEG images from a flash drive or my USB hard drive (1TB Freecom) but will not play MVI clips. It also cannot read files from my Canon IXUS camera directly.

I have converted it to multi-region without any trouble thanks to this information I obtained on the web.

1. Turn player on with without disc in tray.
2. Wait until "no disc" appears on TV screen
3. Press "repeat" (not "repeat A-B"!) on remote.
4. Press in sequence the following keys:
(For Region 2 players only): FF, FR, FF, UP, DOWN

Number "0" must appear in upper left corner of TV screen,
that means that sequence was successful and player is now
region free.
If it does not appear repeat from beginning.

After successful sequence turn player off and on again to check.

spoilt by the remote
I have used this dvd player for a few weeks now, it is reliable but I am not sure about the quality of the upscaling. The big problem is the remote control. It is far too small. Read more
