The Samsung BD-P1000 DVD player is the first model from Samsung that plays high-definition Blu-ray Discs, which takes advantage of today’s flat-screen HDTVs by playing content at native 720p or 1080i video resolutions.

Nice player, but doesn’t upgrade firmware very well. It failed with me so I returned it.

The worse dvd player I ever purchase!!!
Where can I begin, I purchase the BD-P1000 the day it hit the shelf. That was the start of my horror story. I am a home theatre fanatic and I like the best of the best!

How to set up and maintain the BD-P1000
This player actually works quite well, once you know how to properly set it up and maintain it. The unfortunate thing is that, right out of the box, it will require a firmware…

PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST!
I have this player I would strongly state that you not purchase unless you $300.00 to spend what is really a “beefed up DVD player”.

I like it
I’ve never had a single problem with this player. It is a little slow to load but that’s not a problem for me at all.. it gives me time to settle down.

Wait Awhile…..
We bought our 1000 about 10 mo. ago. However, we didn’t start watching blu ray until recently. A couple of movies would not play, but Planet Earth would.

Good player — *if* you download the firmware update!
I bought this player, then followed directions to download the firmware update from Samsung’s web site to my PC, burn it onto a CD, and load it into the BD-P1000.

More trouble than it is worth.
Bought it a while back. Upgraded firmware Still won’t play some disks. Customer Service is worthless and not interested in the problem.

I own two and am quite satisfied with them!
I bought a used BD-P1000 player in October 2007, but it quickly lost its ability to play BD discs and had to be sent to Samsung for repair ($160.

Beware – don’t buy
Do not buy a Samsung Player. We bought one, had to upgrade it to see ‘Rise of the silver surfer’ and it broke.
