5 star features on this Blu-Ray!

I received this Blu-Ray player as a gift (although I was fairly involved in selecting it). I have had it for a few weeks now and am blown away by the features! I have only found minor details and annoyances, that definately DO NOT outweigh the great benefits!
Picture quality is excelent (it is hooked up to my samsung 46" TOC 1080p, 60Hz LCD)
Sound quality is also very good (hooked up to a panasonic surround sound system)
Load times are pretty reasonable, faster than other blu ray players I have seen. BD discs take only a few seconds. Netflix movies take appx15-30 seconds to load, but this can vary based on your wirelss connection speed.
Pandora music is an awesome feature and the interface is pretty funcitional.
YouTube feature is nice to have, obviously the picture quality can be lacking but that is due to the quality at which the video was originally shot. The player does a nice job of converting the picture to be viewed on a larger screen as the videos can be viewed in a window, or in full screen. The only setback to the youtube interface is that it can be difficult to navigate through the search function (you utilize a number pad/text message style of entering search criteria)

The only minor problems I have had with this blu ray player is the process of connecting the wireless internet is time intensive as you need to manually enter the IP aaddress and gateway information. I am fairly handy with network setting so I was able to access them and enter them fairly quickly, but it may be more difficult if you did not have easy access to your network settings.
One other minor annoyance is how to access the features menu (where you can select netflix, pandora, etc). If there is a disc in the player, you have to wait for the disc to fully load and then press stop before having access to this menu.
Overall, this is a GREAT player and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a fully functional wireless blu ray. I also have the BD1600 model in my home, it has many of the same features, but does not come included with the wireless dongle.
The only problem with having two well equipped samsung blu ray players in my home is that I very rarely leave it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was purchased with our Samsung LED TV. The set-up was a little challenging with Netflix streaming, and there were several updates in the past few months that didn't keep our "history", so set-up ###.
However, the past few updates have been painless, and it is such a joy to have an easy to use Blueray player.
Great picture quality, love the remote, and to die for streaming!
The manual controls are on the top.... watch out the cat can turn this on by stepping on the top.

Received this Player as a gift and couldn't be happier. The ease of set up, good user manual documentation and multi functionality are all top end. The easy to set up and use streaming capability finally expands my "TV" into a multimedia monitor. I own several Samsung products, and the performance of this player only ensures that Samsung products will receive first consideration for future purchases for my home and business.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This an awsome Blu-Ray product! Easy to use and setup. User friendly remote and easy navigation. My favorite is the wireless connection to my internet connection! Finally get to watch streaming netflix movies on the big screen instead of the computer screen! Also listening to streaming Pandora radio over my sound system instead of computers speakers. Nice! Great product thanks!
I would recommend this to a friend!
