Customer Review: Good And Bad ?
Good picture on all 3 formats. I have it hooked up through my Pioneer VSX 1018 reciever. As far as the sound goes i have it set up so that my reciever decoeds all the audio signals DTS HD, Dolby True, Dolby Digital Plus, Etc. Reciever does an awesome job there. I have had no problems with it for about 6 months and then all of a sudden when im watching a HD DVD movie thats Dolby Digital Plus the sounds everyonce in a while stops for a brief second. It’s the weirdest thing. The problem on occurs with dolby digital plus on an hd dvd. Took mine back to best buy and of course they couldent find anything wrong with it and i havent contacted samsung yet about the problem. Also my remote to the unit has stopped working ?? Go figure.. I was able to get a replacemt for the problem. Other then those two problems the unit is great. I also own another samsung blu ray player a PS3 and two Toshiba HD DVD players. Of all my other players this is the only unit that gieves you the option to send the raw audio bitstream signal to your reciever. I love that my reciever dispays the audio signal DTS HD and so on. Never hooked it up the other way so i dont know if mine has the same problem as some other reviewer about not decodeing dolby true hd. I would recommend this play for sure to anyone needing or wanting a dual HD player.. Go Samsung !!
Customer Review: A must have
Samsung BD-UP5000 1080p HD-DVD Blu-Ray Disc Combo Player This DVD Combo player is what every movie fan should have, If you don’t know what Blue-ray or HD is go to your nearest Electronic store and see for your self. The bigger the T.V. the better the experience, my whole family loves this player. My five year old loves to have movie day, who can blame him, once you have seen the picture from this player you willn’t go back to standard. It is a little pricy but if you can find one at a nice price,I recommend you buy it. I prefer HD over blue-ray, that’s just me, it doesn’t matter which format you buy (HD-Amazon.com), they both have great pictures. Some movies have better pictures than others, so be mindful of that. At first it didn’t play Wanted, Beowolf, Rambo; after I recieved the firmware it plays every title that I own (25 Blue- ray & 30HD). No problems, great player.
