I bought the Samsung 2550 which I had to return because the stupid fan sounded like a buzzsaw. Then I got the Samsung 1600 which did not work. it would come on then it would go to a black screen. I returned it to BestBuy and was given a hard time (no more Bestbuy for me). So now I have the Samsung 1500 from Walmart which does not interface with Netflix. Samsung said they have no intentions of upgrading the 1500 to work with Samsung. I think I will get the Roku with a decent Blue Ray. Anyone suggestions on Budget BlueRays?

I bought the 1600 last week along with a new samsung washer and dry and a 50 inch samsung plasma,I just bought a blu ray dvd and have had all the problems as was said above!I have always loved samsung and Thats why i bought everything samsung.This makes me very mad that samsung put this blu ray on the market!I am going to take all my samsung CRAP back to best buy and deal with a local store instead NO MORE BEST BUY FOR ME!!!OR SAMSUNG

Bought the P1600. Worked fine for a week, then blue strachy screen- totaly unreponsive. Tried tech support at Abt, no luck. Abt brought me a new one and it worked by 2 hours, then blank black screen and unresponsvie. Tried Samsung online chat, tech guy gave up.

After talking with one of the Samsung tech support reps, I figured out how to get around the issue of not being able to connect wirelessly between my BDP-1600, its wireless LAN adapter, and my Apple Airport Extreme router.

Then, I went back to my Mac and re-set my security settings to WPA2. After the Airport Express re-set itself, I went back to the Blu-Ray player, re-did the network setup, selecting WPA2 and it took my password right away.

The original points that sold me on this unit were pandora streaming and wireless connectivity. I thought I could hook it up to my big audio system without running a network cable into my living room. I even downloaded the latest firmware hoping it would solve the pandora bug. Nope. And uploading the firmware took over 45 minutes. WTF! That should take less than two minutes. I will keep the unit unless netflix goes bad too then I would throw in the towel.

I think Samsung is looking at the right feature set if they can engineer the product better for usability and more importantly reliability. Consumers will jump through a few hoops if it means actually getting what they want in the end every time.

PLAYER 2: Worked great out of the box and had read on the Samsung site to update the firmware (released Sept 10, v. 1.04, not the ominous 2.02 versioN that so many people complained about!). I put the firmware file on a USB stick per Samsung instructions. Started up the player without a disc and inserted the USB stick. Then, the screen went green and was stuck on this for hours. When I finally turned the machine off the next morning, the same problems I had with Player 1 were featured: no or intermittent link with HDMI or Component cables, USB port unresponsive, ethernet port dead, player stuck on LOAD. Do I have another brick? Tried to put the firmware on a CD-RW, no response. I am contemplating either throwing this thing out of the window or getting my money back from Amazon.

BD-P1600 worked fine until I connected it to network, it detected new firmware version, I allowed it to download, it downloaded and powered itself off as part of the update process. Since then, it ALWAYS gets stuck on LOAD and nothing Samsung support says can get it unstuck. I now have a $199 brick and have to waste time and money sending it back to Samsung.

anyone successfully using the 3 cable compnent output in netflix on this model? because I have an older rca tv. before the update it all worked. now i update netflix is SLOW and wont operate netflix when connected to the component 3 cables (red, blue, green) GO FIGURE email me simbal...@gmail.com

Yeah, I work at a retailer and we have had hell with all the Samsung BD players coming back. The Samsung rep claims that it is user error but it happens way to often for that to be the case. If you are seriously looking for a blu-ray player we recommend the PS3 or the LG390. Both are easy to set up, stream netflix and are wireless. Good luck if you still have a samsung and it is working!

I bought a 1590 a few days ago and really like the unit. I had an unused airport express hanging around and I read online that it could be used to extend the range of a wireless network and you can plug in your wired device into the express unit. So I followed the Airport utility instructions and reset the device and followed the prompts to have it extend my network. I plugged and the ethernet cable to the express unit and the player and I have been enjoying Netflix and Youtube for the last few days. I am soooo glad I do not have to plug in my laptop into my TV any longer to watch movies.
My unit is asking for an update and I am kind of leery of doing it as it seems to be working fine for now. I might wait a month of two and recheck the forums, but so far, it may still be hit or miss for a lot of people.

This message is for Rex or anyone who used his solution: You used Airport Extreme and Airport Express in your posting with the solution for setting up the Samsung Blu-Ray. Do you have both or do you have the Airport Extreme?

I spent the last two days trying to get Netflix and YouTube to work on my new Samsung Blu-ray player. I followed the setup instructions, including the firmware update that starts at setup. Pandora and Blockbuster worked following the firmware upgrade, but Netflix and YouTube world not work despite a hundred changes to my Linksys WRT54GL router. As a final shot I reset the BD-P1600 to the factory default and everything worked. This was a cable installation (not wireless) setup on Verizon DSL. I did not have to open any ports or trick the router.

We had all kinds of trouble connecting the 3600 until we bought a new N Dual Band wireless router. We now have two of these connected (connection was super simple) and they both work great. We were almost ready to throw them out until we went dual band. Tried the Apple router first and took it back because there was some sort of problem with the internal antenna on a whole batch of them. Ended up with Linksys and it works like a champ.

I have the 1600 and was able to use an Airport Express, connected to a piece of ethernet cable and plugged into the back of the DVD player. My home Wifi network is Time Warner cable modem connected to an Apple Airport Extreme wireless router.

To configure the Airport Express to work with the DVD player, first plug it into an extension cord, and then plug an ethernet cable into the AE and into your Mac. Launch the Airport Utility. It should find the Airport Express (which is connected to the computer via the ethernet cable)

Bought a 1600, went through all kinds of hoops to get the wireless connected but it cannot play Netflix movie for more than 5 minutes and Pandora for more than 5 songs. Called Samsung, updated the firmware, reset the box, still not working.

I bought the BD-P1590 from Tiger Direct refurb a few weeks ago. I set up Netflix in just 5 minutes and the family has watched several movies since with no problems. YouTube and Pandora also work well.

Netflix code, apparently we did not write down netflix device code upon fiirst visit to netflix via our new 1600 series. Netflix and samsung cannot assist. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve it again. Ps, I gave reset 1600 by using ff button and also by unplugging for 2 min.

When I plugged it in and turned it on again, everything was working except for wireless. I did a connection test and the IP was bad. This would have probably fixed itself eventually, but I cleared the DHCP settings by clicking on the wireless connection name, which took me back into wireless setup. I entered the wireless password again and then I was good to go.

bought a Samsung BDP 1620 and then realised i had to buy a wireless dongle. I was told by the guy in the shop that the belkin wireless adapter would work, however i am unable to get the thing working. I checked the adapter on my PC and it connects to my wireless nework with no problem. Any ideas or do i have to buy the Samsung adpater only???

I know the Sammys will not allow any other USB adapter than the one they sell (my mom tried one on her unit).. But I think you could buy a generic Ethernet bridge (commonly called a gaming adapter) that would give the unit wireless network connectivity via the ethernet port.

I got the 1500 from wal-mart probably would not have gotten it had I looked up all the issues people are having with it over netflix, the main resign I got it, was for watching netflix. And yah I have some stoping and starting issues with netflix, but instead of just wining about it I report every thing i watch that has an issue to netflix, I have gotten several emails form persons in there customer service department, and they are talking to samsung and working on a fix. Has for DVDs and blu rays I have had no issues*Knock on wood*.

We received the blu ray player as a gift for Christmas. We also have netflix, so I was connecting laptop to tv to watch movies. We finally purchased the wireless lan adapter yesterday, but cannot get it to work. We are getting a message that it is connected; however, when we go through the network testing, we are getting an error with the gateway ping. We have a wireless router upstairs at the other end of the house, so we would rather not run a cable from upstairs to basement and then across and up to blu ray player. We have called Samsung and they tell us Time Warner Cable has a firewall on our modem, but Time Warner says there is no firewall. Please help.

I just purchased to wireless adapter for my BD 1600 blu ray, I did the netwrok connection test it tells me that is operating properly but when I try to connect to netflix or pandora it tells me that the proxy connection failed. Can anyone help me with this?

I found after several hours of troubleshooting that my router had arbitrarily rejected the mac address of the blu ray player after the recent firmware update, which caused an internet connection problem for the last several days. It was maddening. When I finally thought to check MAC filtering, there it was.
