Samsung BD-J5100 1080p 1 Disc(s) Blu-ray Disc Player Model BD-J5100/ZA

Comment

This device is a good combination of cheap and useful. It would be great in a spare bedroom. If you have a monster entertainment system, its going to look out of place next to the high end stuff. I read the reviews about the lack of a power indicator before buying. I didnt think it would bother me so I bought this model. Its not a deal breaker but I do notice and I mutter something every time that I try to turn on the player. I dont love the curved design of the piece either. I have a Bose radio sitting on top of it so I can use as auxiliary speakers. It kind of bugs me that the stack is not perfectly lined up. I didnt take dock any stars for that since I recognize that is my own personal hangup.

I have never hated an electronic device more than this and Ive owned a Zune. The sleep timer is very short and cannot be changed or removed, meaning if you pause a DVD for more than 5 minutes you have to turn the unit on again and find where you left off. This does not seem to be the case for pausing streaming video through prime or netflix. I like the ability to watch movie files from a USB drive, but I do not do that often. The last two things about the player is that the remote is very fickle with varying sensitivity and there are no indication lights on the unit. I am looking for a second device with WiFi and will not be buying this brand again.

Well it is true there is no light to show player is on but to me thats a non issue. This fit the bill for what I needed its got a small footprint and I hooked it up to net with Ethernet cable so no big deal. Dont use the apps much but overall Im happy. A basic blu ray player for a good price that delivers what I needed. No is not a top line blu Ray player but thats not what I wanted. Needed something that would read DTS HD and master. Xbox one just seems to fall flat on sound decoding. Overall a great deal to me. Very happy

Wonderful! Plug and play. For the cost I wasnt expecting all the bells and whistles. Streaming and all. I just wanted something to play DVDs on. The cost was great. It came packed with, with batteries already in the remote. Plug and play. The HD quality is great!

Easy set up to my Samsung 4k TV, no programing and they talked to each other and that was it, wanted something easy and in expensive this was the answer, small fits great in front of TV The picture and sound great no adjustments to play around with I am not tech savory but want good results I thought no lights for on or function would be problem - dont miss them and have no problems and do distraction from the picture with more lights no matter how small If you want something easy and simple and inexpensive this is for you

The GOOD: No fuss, easy plug and play. Perfect clear and sharp picture. Samsung TV compatible interface remote plus a vast variety of favorite websites hub for a Non-Smart TV. The BAD: There is no exterior power light or lighted function modes....minor frustrating guessing game at best. The BEAUTIFUL: Lightweight compact curved design. My used player was actually BRAND NEW with remote, batteries and manual included...only the box was opened and resealed. The total price paid was equivalent to the shipping charge of a small furniture...Happy Dance!

Ive got a workaround for the no power light complaint. Put a flash drive in the USB port on the front. When the player is ON the flash drive has a red light on the end - when its OFF, not so much. The flash drive works great for viewing your porn stills - uh, I mean family photos.

Have had this DVD player only a few months. Have watched a handful of movies and now it wont turn on at all. Waste of money. Says it has a limited warranty till may 2017 but I cant figure out how to return it to get a new one. Annoying.

I suppose it would have been ok if it had worked, but the picture kept dropping out during streaming and during Blu-ray disc playing. Sound never dropped out, but picture did. Now, for the really AMAZING thing: I accidentally left a movie in the disc player (Sisters, starring Amy Pohler and Liz Lemon, decent movie). And guess what!?? Amazon returned my disc, and I did not even contact them about it. I just figured it was a lost Blu-ray disc. Wow! Amazon continually amazes me with their customer service! And they make returns so simple, a monkey could do it. How does a company so large have the BEST customer service?

If I had the option of zero stars, I would have chosen that. It is a piece of junk and a gigantic waste of money. It worked for 2 1/2 days, then stopped working with the movie trapped inside. The remote doesnt work, the two buttons on the player dont work. I am so angry that I didnt listen to other reviewers and steer clear of this hunk of junk. I will attempt to return for a refund, and Samsung will get an earful, too.
