Hi there,

Is not about forcing anybody in this thread 2 buy this 3d player.is ur money...is up to youuu...
You dont get what I means since beginning

Im just proposing a good choice(value for money)at current time because 3D player at 500-600 is consider cheap if compare to
other model 3D which is 1500-2500 price.

Let me remind u again....IM NOT SELLER IN THIS AV THREAD..ok

If want to buy 3D tv not now. Later 3D tv not need to wear glasses anymore.

@adil-hazly,

I get your point - spend extra RM200++ invest for 3D capable blu-ray player is worth as it is quite cheap also.

but My point - It is redundant spending extra RM200++ (you can do more other things with that extra RM200++) rather than invest in 3D capable blu-ray player where I believe most people don't have 3D TV or intend to buy it now due to it over price issue.

Laser head is not last longer, when the time 3D TV became friendly price, I believe the 3D BD player you buy now already near/end the lifespan. That why I don't think invest 3D BD player is a correct choice at the moment unless you are superb rich where spending RM15 / 20k++ for a 3D TV is not an issue.

If you can't invest a 3D TV, what the point invest a 3D BD player?

Yessss...i agreed somehow ur point " Laser head is not last longer, when the time 3D TV became friendly price, "

Somehow your has impress me with above sentence my friend.....

3Dtv now is showing price down trend,for 3D plasma (50inch) can get rm8500 to 10k.

Only the LED 3D is more exp(10k-15k).

U mark my word from now ...for less than 1.5 years the price will drastically going down.........and during that tiime also the 3d player also will be cheap....

During that time me hoping that can afford to buy 3D TV, hih hih hih hih 55" somemore

When we buy 3D TV,then only buy a 3D BD player together la

Yupe

Unless the 3D and non 3D BD Player same price & similar function or even better, or else it is not worth to get 3D player for now.

YES........u want to wait until when?..during that time
the player they design come out will look so cheap (Power supply design,PCB layout quality,chassis, ouside appearance,3d video codec and alot more)

DONT hope the quality will be same as right now........

Don't think about it so much la

3D BD player need to couple with 3D HDTV.
If you got the money, yes why not to burn it now. Some consumer can be categorized as early adopter.

But I'm not early adopter, for the time being, I'm happy with standard BD.

cheers bro!

Yesterday went to HLK Setia Alam and made enquiries about C5500 but received dissappointing info.

1. The whole outlet still no stock except display unit
2. Restock still not confirm as one of the sales personal I spoke mention that the limited stock is actually break-up unit from bundled home theater system. Even if restock I still sceptical whether the price will be still about rm399
(I managed to glance their stock inventory system and the lowest price they can sell is rm350. kuddos to anyone who got that price)

Need bro/sis help to recommand me any place in Klang Valley which can still get this C5500 at rm399

Online seller also ok but hopefully he/she is in Klang Valley (coz I prefer COD)

Thanks in advance

If playing a MKV movie on the 5500 fr a HDD do you still get 5.1 or 7.1 channel audio if it is connected via HDMI to a AVR? Do not want to connect another optical cable.

No need extra optical. Just HDMI is sufficient.

Samsung C5500 Firmware update version 1020.1. Date released Dec 27, 2010. Size 61.62MB.
You can find the file in Samsung Malaysia Support page. You also can update it using the thumb drive.
I just download it in the office and evening brought it back home and update it. Read the instruction carefully. Wrong move, you will brick the player.

I got mine at HLK Balakong (Batu 11, Cheras). Google up their number, call in advance, and pick it up the next day. Good luck

I know that HDMI is sufficient for audio and video output.

But if just using HDMI will it output 5.1 and above if using HDD or Thumbdrive playback of eg MKV files (not using a physical BD or DVD disc which definitely outputs min 5.1)

Maybe you misunderstood my question here.

You just contradicted yourself,bro. Why invest in something now which will depreciate in value in the future? Care to share?

Oh wait. Never mind.

mind to tell when U got ur C5500?

The sales person in HLK said only left display unit.
Btw I feel Balakong is too far from my place in Setia Alam

I'm also searching around,heard HLK got sell at RM399,maybe u can find at other branches?There are so many other branches

Hello everyone. I just want to know, is it normal when we use optical cable and send it to our AV receiver, there still got normal stereo sound on our tv? The 5.1 system working just fine and I already change my BD player audio setting to Bitstream(re-encode). Everytime I'm using my home theater to watch movies I need to cut my tv volume to 0. Just wondering.
