Samsung BD-JM59 Upgraded Wi-Fi Multi Region Zone Blu Ray DVD Player - PAL/NTSC

Player works well. Fine video. Please note these comments: It is range free for both Blue Ray and DVD, however, one must manually change each blue ray region to play a disc. Also, unlike another Samsung non-region free player, this one does not include Amazon access. Still, unlike the other player, it will easily play finalized DVD-R discs. Last, for some reason, when initially turned on and when first opening the tray, it only gives a few seconds to insert a disc before automatically closing. Strange.

The seller was great in shipping the BluRay player to me and it was well packaged - 5-stars to Bombay Electronics! But I only give the product 4-stars because Samsung seems to be notorious with leaving out various features in their product versions, such as picture zoom. I have a lot of older DVDs, widescreen but meant to play on a 4x3 screen, so the resulting picture is small and cant be zoomed. I know some TVs do it but mine doesnt without stretching the picture. Picture zoom seems like a feature that should be on all their players, so I dont understand how they pick and choose which features to include/exclude from the various models.

I played the entire trilogy of the Narnia blu-ray movie set, which has a mixture of region A and region B. All three movies played! Great! ...Narnia trilogy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CR34NQU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I tried playing my Russell Crowe "The Next Three Days" blu-ray, and this machine would not play it. Oddly, my Samsung blu-ray player that ISNT region-free (model 5700) DID play this blu-ray!

Works as advertised. Menu is a bit more difficult than it should be but you eventually get the hang of it. After several months of using this player I tried to play a French PAL DVD. It would not play. So it is not Multi region despite what they advertise. Still a great player but not multi-region.
