 firmware upgrade and boum November 16, 2009
A. ozcan
I got the player last week, connected it to the internet via cable. It discovers that there is a firmware upgrade after communicating with the mothership and asks if I want to upgrade. If you say no, the same screen
comes up at the next power on. I gave up and upgraded the firmware. Now there is blockbuster and youtube on the selections (who cares? all I need is netflix that's the reason I purchased this model).
I decided to watch a dvd. The movie starts but after may be 5mins, the scene freezes and there is a high pitch noise coming from the tv with the frozen image. It did not matter if I had hdmi or component connection. After a couple of power cycles and upgrading the firmware (again) using a usb drive (rather than over the internet) now the machine does not even turn on. There is the blue-black initial screen and bands of salt-pepper noise.
After five-six power cycles it comes up.
I started watching the moving after apprx. 2 hours of frustration for starting the machine and unfortunately at a certain point needed to pause the movie. Hit the play button, two minutes later, the screen froze with the high pitch sound.
I will probably return the player, my recommendation is against wasting money on something that does not work properly.
 buyer beware November 16, 2009
S. Malek (NJ, USA)
I purchased this product on 5/09 it stopped working on 11/09 and I thought I was under manufacturer warranty , after calling Samsung they told me that the warranty on labor and parts expires after 3 mths and that I have to take it to a local repair guy mind you I paid full price 250$ from 6th avenue electronics store.I will never buy a samsung product again, I never had a problem with Sony.
 Good buy November 15, 2009

Bought Samsung BP-1600 from Best Buy two weeks ago. Same price as Amazon and saved me the waiting time for shipping. So far so good. Play both Blue-ray and regular DVD movies. Uploading time varies from a few seconds to 10 seconds maybe.
Read a lot of review complaining the firmware update causing the player not functioning properly. Well, updated mine this morning and did not encounter any issue. I used Powerline adapter to connect the unit to internet via a ethernet cable. The downloading process took approximately 15 minutes and the whole updating process maybe 20 minutes. I tried both Blue-ray and regular DVD afterwards and did not have any functional problem with the player.
Registered for NetFlix right away and now I am watching a movie instantly on my TV via BP-1600. Good picture quality.
The only downside I experienced so far is the synchronization of my tv remote and the blue-ray player remote, both of which are from Samsung. Not sure it's because of my Fios TV DVR. Verizon tech programs the DVR remote so it controls both my TV and the DVR. But it's not a big issue to me I have to use two separate remote when I play my BP-1600 and TV.
Don't buy if you want to play CDs November 14, 2009
RickW (California USA)
I've had mine for a few weeks now. Seems to do a pretty respectable job playing DVDs and Blu-ray DVDs. But BE AWARE: If you want to play your music CDs on this player, it would be a poor choice of players.
About 1/3 of my CDs won't load: Tray slides back open and screen (TV) says: "This disk can not be played." (These are store-bought CDs, not home-burned. Actually home burned seem to work better.) I tried upgrading firmware. Nope. I tried online chat with Samsung support. Nope. I've even exchanged the unit for another one (from my retailer). Same.
My guess is that it's a firmware issue.
I haven't yet tried Pandora, Netflix, or Blockbuster because I don't have a network connection in that room...yet.
So as I said: If you want to play movies: OK. If you want to also play your music CDs: NO.
My Sad Experience November 14, 2009
Roger Joseph (Raleigh, NC)
My sad experience began on mid August 15, 2009. I ordered a Samsung Blu-Ray BD-P1600 Player from Andrew Electronics. It arrived in a few days, but did not work properly through the HDMI connection. I spent several hours making sure the problem was with the player and then contacted Andrew who promptly E-mailed a shipping label to me so that I could return the unit. Andrew sent a replacement that arrived within a week. However this unit had more problems with the HDMI connection than the first. Again I spent much time speaking to Samsung Support and LG support (LG is my TV brand) as well as testing the unit myself to make sure the problem was with the unit. I probably could have sent it back to Andrew again and received another unit or refund, but chose to send it to Samsung for repair even though I would have to pay the shipping costs. Samsung "repaired" the unit and returned it to me. It was now mid September. The repaired unit was worse than ever. Nothing worked through HDMI, not even setup. I took the unit to a local dealer who tested it on several brand TVs and it did not work on any of them. A BD-P1600 that the dealer had for sale did work so I sent the unit back to Samsung on September 27. On October 12, I received notice that the unit could not be repaired and would be replaced. However no unit was shipped. I made several phone calls to Samsung and was told that nothing would happen until the department responsible entered information into the computer system and there was nothing I could do about it until it was. The Samsung representatives were not helpful and some were in fact arrogant. I finally made contact with a Samsung representative who was friendly and willing to help. A replacement unit was finally ordered and arrived on November 13. It is trouble free. Note that all this took Three months! Lessons learned:
1. I would not buy again from Andrew. While he was most cooperative I am suspicious about the quality of the product he sells.
2. I would not buy again from Samsung. Their product may be fine if the one you receive is trouble free. However, if you have to send it in for repair you have a good chance of it not being properly repaired, and/or getting tied up in a bureaucratic system that seems helpless if someone does not enter the data into their computer system. In addition most of their representatives are arrogant and seem to delight in insulting your intelligence.
3. I will buy electronic equipment locally from now on. It is faster, much easier and less aggravating to deal face to face with a local dealer if there is a problem than to do it via E-mail, phone and UPS shipments. The price difference is not worth it!!!
