1.0 out of 5 stars A bad batch of DVD players?, 25 Aug 2010
By 
Mark Cassie "cotsweb.com" (Stow on the Wold, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Samsung DVD-C550 1080P Upscaling  DVD Player (Electronics)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!, 29 Dec 2010

This review is from: Samsung DVD-C550 1080P Upscaling  DVD Player (Electronics)
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!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Samsung C550 1080P DVD Player - multi-region conversion, 13 Aug 2010
By 
R. Perryman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Samsung DVD-C550 1080P Upscaling  DVD Player (Electronics)
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.
