No problem playing older blu-ray discs. I bought two of these units when they first came out (2007). Firmware up to date (through network connection) but now wont play any newer blu-ray discs (such as "Bruno" or "Taking Woodstock"). Samsung not respond to email. I will never buy Samsung again.Update: Samsung emailed me to suggest I reset the unit (which I had done numerous times) or just wait for the next update.
Everything else gets spit out as unable to be played. I was finally able to get a firmware upgrade from Samsung for the 1400 after months of being unable to watch anything new. I have had nothing but trouble with this unit since I purchased it and it only gets worse with time. Even when it works, it takes forever to load movies and often just stops in the middle of a movie. Now that I have upgraded the firmware, I CANNOT WATCH ANYTHING OLD. I just installed the 090803 firmware upgrade and I am ONLY able to watch bluray discs. DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT. From what I have read, it is better to just buy a PS3.
It didn't biggest waste of money. The firmware is up-to-date but it keeps saying "Loading." It never plays.
It has brought me nothing but headaches. BR discs load really sloooooowly, if at all.
I've had this player for about 18 months and wish I'd never bought it. I've spent an hour tonight trying to play Drag Me to Hell and it won't play.
Then, once it plays, the disc frequently stops and skips. Firmware is impossible to update, and then the disc still won't play.
I've had this problem before and hoped a firmware upgrade would help. Avoid this product at all costs.
Dont purchase this player, firmware update dated 9/28/09 didn't correct loading/playing blu ray movies, not all movies work on player. I attempted to watch "The Unit Season 4" on Blu ray today and move wont play. Samsung doesnt have a date on when new firmware will become avaialbe to correct this frustrating problem.
Got a good price but it required some serious updates to keep up with the latest movies coming out. I am still using it today (10/09) just hope the updates keep coming.
