New member ov BD-C5500 reporting in!

.and loving every aspects of it. connected to the internet via ethernet port, just i wish my internet connection a bit faster.

dunno though. Siang Electrical is having a year-end sale, and they are selling BD-C5500 at RM399 as well. in fact few of the electrical stores in mainland area do sell around that price. maybe u can do some surveying around penang island.

Welcome to the Club! Can share your tips on this player here.

Went to an electrical shop in KL,that f***ing idiot salesman charged me RM499 for this BD player,and say it cannot support MKV.........

Where to get this BD player for RM399 around KL?

ya.. confirm can play mkv files, from ext hdd thru the usb port...

Well that's great,that f***ing idiot salesman told me it couldn't

I dun blame that saleman...not many ppl know what is MKV...they are not exposed to that world yet..they only know DVD, BD , poor quality downloaded stuff from youtube and 3gp.
Salesman know what is told to them to say, they dun bother abt searching info by googling and stuff...thats why got so many ppl not satisfied with salesman.

But i like to listen to the crap talk of salesman..sometimes can learn a thing or two from their crap knowledge.

Example my modem always hang...and when i ask the salesman, he said that the model can get very hot and shut itself down....
So tried putting a heatsink at the bottom at sure enough he was right..

But the way the salesman was talking,I didn't like him really..

Still searching for a place that got sell this BD player for RM399,around Subang or KL area

Coz the salesman din't know that we from LYN HOME ENTERTAINMENT.

Well if that salesman is reading this subforum,he will know who I'm talking about

Where can I buy the player with < RM390 in Penang Island ? or Butterworth ?

Update: Just try the hack, it is working

Now at least the DVD is region FREE, I try playback my region 1 DVD and it is playing back well.

** Now just hope BD hack will appear soon

BHB. I just bought a unit at RM350/ at Gurney Plaza. Having a Panasonic roadshow promo there. Bought a Pana TV since they had a promo price then just enquired whether they had the Sammy BD player but no stock there for display since it's a Pana promo and all the other shops there did not have the Sammy either so I just booked it together. No haggling needed since he quoted me at the above price so i just added it to the purchase list.

If you want you can contact the Supervisor Jason Teoh at 282 2880 Jelutong Branch.

Intended to only buy a BD player but ended up with another TV. Pocket koyak.

Try your luck at HLK Kota Damansara !!!

Confirm 1080P (9193kbps video & 1510kbps sound-DTS) quality of .MKV file is playable without any issue.

Would like to find out whether if I were to use a 2.5" HDD I do not need any external power supply and if I were to use a 3.5" HDD I would need to connect an external power supply. Is this scenario correct?

Yes, correct...

Thanks for the help. In that case I better just buy a 2.5" HDD. No need for an extra bulky power connector.

anyone please let me know where I can buy this player BD-C5500 for RM 399?

Make sure buy high speed HDD, I facing terrible lagging issue when I playback from one of my old 150GB hard disk.

I didn't face any issue after copying my .MKV file to newer 500GB HDD.
