** To answer some question:

• MKV working fine, tested on 720P - Life documentary & some Pixar short film. (no idea on subtitle)
• You can cross-link for internet access, instruction given on above link. (If you don't have any wired router access)
• USB port is working for storing BD-Live content, (manual said only work for flash drive not the hard disk). You need to manual configure it at settings as it is not automatic use flash drive for BD-Live content.
• Internet@TV is required internet access (either from the optional WiFi Adapter or LAN connection). Currently you can get Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Google Map, USA Today, History Channel, AccuWeather, Picasa, Getty Images & some games in Malaysia. No support & available on ROVI, Blockbuster, Netflix, Vudu & Pandora locally.

Here's a screen shot of how the InternetTV looks after update is completed for the free applications for Malaysia. All of them work but inputing text using the remote is not so convenient e.g. in searching YouTube.



The AccuWeather gives a 6-day weather forecast and KL is shown by default. Google maps is already centred on Malaysia and you can zoom in to maps at street level. History Channel is just "today in history" text. Good for fun but more practical to surf on your PC.

I read in another thread that BD player cannot play VCD except for OPPO. Out of curiosity, I popped an old VCD into the Samsung 5500 and surprise, surprise, it played. However, you cannot access the menu (no PBC on function) but it can play but at wide screen and not at the correct 4:3 ratio. VCD is not listed in the manual for list of playable discs. Not sure if other BD players can also play VCD or just the Samsung though without the full functions. But I think playing VCD in a BD player is an overkill, better just use your old DVD player and preserve your BD player for BD or DVD (for the upscaling).

the MKV file is in flash drive or Blueray/DVD ?

is there anywhere else selling this player for rm390?

the price is promotion price or retail price?

In flash drive or 2.5inch hard disc.

I never try burn to DVD to test.

Just got my unit yesterday. Compare to what you guys paid for, it cost a little bit more here in Sabah, but still the cheapest in town. The reason why I bought it was because I saw the mkv thing on the box. Everything works smooth, you can stream your mkv files to the player via LAN connection, no worries. Except there will be no subtitle.

Cheers.

Welcome to the club; hope you can share your experience here, good or bad.

try PM iamsobloodysick, price less than that...

good luck

Thanks. Been throwing in some blu ray movies to try out the unit, what I noticed is that the picture quality is much better than my fat PS3. I read some reviews saying that the start up time is a bit slow but mine always play the movie within few seconds. So, yea, I'm happy with it.

I find the loading time of BD is generally longer than when loading DVD on my BD-C5500. I think this is common for all BD players, not only on the sammy. Some BD loads faster than others and some seems to take ages before you see the menu. I suppose this depends on individual discs and how the menu is designed and structured. I read that the C5500 is among the fastest to load for entry level BD players and certainly at this price, one cannot really complain. Cannot verify this since I do not have another BD player to compare so those experienced with other brands of BD player may want to comment on this. Anyway, I am also very happy with the sammy so far. The user interface is user-friendly and the manual is also pretty clear and well-written.

Look at the current price and some review by One Malaysia hih hhi hih hih, i think i might get this player very soon ....

This is worrying. The ps3 is one of the most neutral and void of any processing. If u r really seeing a difference its is likely that some processing is going on.If I get the chance I will comment if I can test one.

hi bro... i moved my Sony360 to my bedroom and trying on this sammy player at my living. I do feel like colors have changed somewhat... not so neutral anymore. U can come try it out at my place if u r free. And we should go visit pierreye once his 4311 is tuned

The 1st blu-ray movie I dropped in the PS3 was an original Die Hard 4. However, the picture was quite grainy. Both me and my friend thought that probably either the disc or the tv was giving the problem. However, when I tried it on the C5500, the picture was silky smooth. Perhaps my PS3 is faulty? Well, doesn't matter now as it's sitting in my office serving games only. No more blu-ray movies from it.

Hi guys,

Just want to know from your experience. Will this bd c5500 able to play local (pirated) bd,DVD,vCD movies? Or only accepted the ori? How about the self burn disk?

Nothing to do, so go try out a VCD in this player.

haha... no issue... can playback VCD also.

can select left or right for different language also, no issue at all.

So not only OPPO did, Samsung also can playback VCD without any issue.

It can playback:

Original / Pirated / Burn of VCD, DVD and BD.

Happy Blue Ray Now.....

Thanx Andrewtst
