There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It has worked flawlessly from the beginning with every Blu-Ray disc we have tried. We get about one a week from Netflix. I can play Pirates of the Carribean 3. Not sure why the other reviewer could not.
The picture quality is stunning with Planet Earth. I guess I can credit the Panasonic TV mostly for that.
I did the version 1.2 firmware upgrade in December. I just did the version 1.5 firmward upgrade yesterday Feb 5th. I downloaded both and created the ISO CD. [...]
I really don't understand why people complain about sluggishness. To me it works fast. So you have to wait a few seconds for it to boot up, so what? Go get the DVD while you are waiting.
Most computers nowadays take minutes to boot. I imagine it will never get better, likely probably worse over time since these are in essence computers, and the more technology advances the slower these machines are to turn on and load up.
After doing the firmware upgrade, I checked my settings and noticed they had been reset. If you have a digital receiver, you should make sure that the audio is set to 'bitrate' and not PCM if you want surround sound.
I also had no problems playing regular DVDs or CDs either. So when it becomes obsolete, it will replace my other DVD player and improve the quality of the regular DVDs with my other older 720P Samsung set.
I don't think anyone should delay buying because of the format war. The minute you buy anything nowadays, it becomes obsolete and is eventually a throw away. So you at least enjoy it while you can, life is too short. At the prices today what the heck, it is cheap, buy now before the dollar becomes worthless! You can get an entire home theatre 1080P HDMI based system with speakers for less than $[...] right now. Thank you China!
My only complaints with the player are the follwing:
- the disc tray doesn't always open immediately after I press the open button. Sometime I have to wait a minute or so.
- I wish stepping up to a faster (or slower) forward and reverse play was snappier. As it stands there is a second or so wait after you press the button for it to respond.
- I don't like the included screen saver
Some features that I really enjoy are:
- after being paused for awhile the screen saver comes on, but after that's been on for a bit the unit will just power down so it's not waisting electricity
- after powering down, the player starts playing the disc right where you left off
- the remote mirrors the layout of Samsung TV remotes. So if you have a Samsung TV you'll have no trouble using the BD remote
Even though the BD-1400 is a little sluggish, I still tink it's a great entry level player. I don't understand all the negative reviews I have read on Amazon. My experience has been easy and fun with no playback issues. It's just very important that you update the firmware.
In the past 6 weeks or so I owned this player I realized I jumped too early on the Blue-Ray bandwagon:
1. the player does not support all DVD formats, for example I can't play it on DVD+ discs that I could play on my 5-year old Sony DVD player;
2. the Blu-Ray discs are highly sensitive to even insignificant scratches or finger prints; out of the 10 Blu-Ray discs I rented so far from Blockbuster during these 6 weeks, 3 of them they refused to play altogether and none of the discs played smoothly until the end. I would wipe the discs with a leather cloth several times and the player still had problems playing them. On the other hand, all of the 10 or so regular DVD discs played without issues.
3. There are a small number of Blu-Ray titles available, less than 500. Moreover, I can't get them for rent at my local Blockbuster store.
4. The Blu-Ray discs I have watched did not have extras like different angles.
Consequently, at this juncture, it is not worth the price premium. If I were again in a position to upgrade from regular DVD to High Definition, I would wait a little while and check the following:
1. extent of formats supported (should have at least full backward integration, i.e. DVD-, DVD+, CDs with MP3, etc.);
2. the number of Blu-Ray titles being available should be more than 2-3 thousand;
3. the High Definition format market may settle in a year or so, with Blu-Ray format in a good position to emerge as the standard (like the VHS vs. Beta). Then, many more titles would be available in this format.
4. the price of a good player should be $150 or less for mass market volumes;
5. the manufactures address the issues (bugs) with the discs not loading or being too sensitive to play.
