NEW SAMSUNG BD-J5100 (Compact 12W" x 2H" x 8D") Multi Zone All Region Blu Ray DVD Player - 1 HDMI, 1 COAX, 1 ETHERNET CONNECTIONS + (6Feet HDMI Cable)

In fairness to Samsung, this unit had been modified to be region-free by Multisystem Electronics. The Amazon literature was not entirely clear about this, but it was obvious upon inspection — after-factory stickers had been added by Multisystem Electronics. The unit arrived out of the box utterly non-functioning except for HDMI output — otherwise no power function, setup, disc load, or response to any remote commands. Amazon directed me to return the unit through Multisystem Electronics (for a refund, not replacement). This is the second time I have experienced near-term failure of a unit modified by Multisystem Electronics (the other was a Sony), so I have zero confidence in their quality control.

Although its billed as an all-region player, Ive only had the opportunity to play the Region 2 DVDs that I own; I cant comment on discs from other regions. There were no problems in setup (basically, its a quick plug-and-play) and it performed well. I have no complaints regarding picture or sound quality. My only complaint - which is why I downgraded an otherwise 5-star rating to 4-stars - is that it has no red light or comparable indicator that the unit is powered on or off. You can only be sure by turning on the TV, where the status of the units operations is displayed. I suppose its a minor complaint that most people probably dont care about, but its irritating to me. If this issue doesnt concern you, then youll probably be very pleased with the performance of this product. I consider this product a good value.

This Blu Ray player came region free and ready to play straight out of the box. The remote is of great quality and nice and tight too, plus the player HDMI signal is outstanding! It came with great instructions for switching regions and hook up, and the price was well worth it for the quality of the player. I used it pretty heavily before I posted this review to make sure it could play older and newer films from my collection and Im beyond satisfied with the results.

I dont like the fact that this DVD player can cause all types of electrical interference Lots of static whenever it is plugged in with other products, such as your TV. I have to unplug after each use. There are no lights on the front of the player at all. I would like to see, open, close, some sort of info or digital readout, but there is none. Also, you must have internet to upgrade any of the software. It does have Netflix on its menu which is useful. Picture , sound, all excellent. Very easy to set up too.

Good disk player. Simple to use and takes up little space (sits on the cable box). Allows my British wife to view, and purchase, disks from the UK. Works fine and no problems -- so far.

Player meets our expectations. Probably exceeds them as we do not use all the widgets it offers. We wanted blu-ray capability and the ability to play European DVDs which it does very well. We have a Samsung TV which may or may not make it more user friendly.

Setup was so easy I couldnt believe it. From the time I took it out of the box, it took longer to unwrap the cable, batteries, and remote than it did to be ready to watch a DVD! Everything is done with minimal input from the user. It accepted without fuss both a region 2 disc and a manufactured-on-demand one, and did so automatically. Nothing could be simpler. Custom settings were a breeze to set, and I couldnt be happier with it.

You have to do everything with the remote. So big deal. Loaded apps are great, set up was fast and easy. The movies play well. I have lots of movies that I ave burned on drd-r and have no issues.

This player has played every British DVD perfectly that I have in my collection. It is way better than using a PC. The only problem I have is the audio output is not standard RCA analog, but is standard digital electrical and I need to get an adapter as my receiver/amplifier predates digital.
