Hi Guys,

If compare Phili BD3100 to this C5500.Wat are the feature that diff.

Both price same RM399 at my place.

Do now which one is better?

I dunno the difference....sorry can't help..but i already bought C5500 and so far ok lorrrr

I don't own Philip BD3100, but one of the shop here using it.

What I notice is:
- Philip BDP3100 loading speed is quite slow compare with Samsung BD-C5500.
- Philip BDP3100 having better frame skipping on troublesome disc (off course those pirated) than Samsung BD-C5500.

From tech wise: **
- Not support on MKV and DivX HD for Philip BDP3100.
- No WiFi and no WiFi adapter support for Philip BDP3100.
- Not support any Internet entertainment (example youtube and etc) for Philip BDP3100

**Above is the reason I choose Samsung BD-C5500.

From net review:
- DVD upscaling is not good. (I find Samsung one upscaling DVD perfectly).\

Welcome

How you find out about Samsung BD- C5500?

I already updates to latest firmware, link below for manual update via flash drive:

Hi ...
Thanks for ur opinion...

im not so sure la....after holding with my hand...

C5500 outside plastic part look more cheaper than bd3100

BTW..i still chose c5500 due to its new and mkv playback

Hope DTS MA for c5500 codec work great.

I found out through catalogue collected during visiting Best Denki...somemore i browse here they are selling lower than RM400..

what are the types of mkv files it can play?
in terms of mkv support, better than 1073dd player?
can it play those typical ~16gb mkv 1080p video with 5.1 dts audio?
how about those small rip with aac 5.1 audio?
can it handle mkv internal subtitle of simplified chinese?
comes with hdmi cable?

Eh... I know it can play up to 1080P MKV. (I don't own 1073dd player, so can't compare). But the quality output is stunning enough for me.

I did try few 720P MKV (6 channel AC3 audio), no issue so far, playing smoothly.

Not tested with subtitle.


It came with HDMI cable (not sure what version, never mention, I do notice my v1.3 separate purchase cable seems slightly better where it no wording slightly washout in red background issue).

is there any chance to get this player in electrical shops for RM399 ? a shop in ipoh quot me rm600 for this player.

If you are in KL, I believe you can get it in Desa Home Theatre for this price. Or maybe in Legend SS2/Paramount Gardens in PJ. I got mine online from seller commomtan in this forum.

hi all,

anyone having problem streaming movies from Samsung Allshare? I am getting server disconnect after a few minutes of streaming. Then, I will not be able to connect/detect the server until i restart the player or the pc server.

this is how i connect the player to the Allshare
player > router (wired) > pc (wireless)

note : i have no issue connecting to internet although i can't detect the allshare server.

btw, any other software that can do streaming to the player besides the Samsung Allshare?

Thanks folks.!

i hv a few questions to ask guys,

1. can plug in wireless keyboard and mouse?

2. can surf internet like using google, browse forum etc?

3. can use any brand of wifi adapter?

thank you.

Think I need to reply in reverse order. Based on what I know,
3. You must use the Samsung wifi adaptor or dongle that is proprietary; quite expensive I think, that's how they make money.
2. You can only access certain specific web-sites designated by Samsung in the built-in software. If you can surf and browse like normal (for RM399), it would put many PC and laptop sellers out of business.
1. I don't think you can.

Others are free to correct me if I am wrong.

Any improvement for the new firmware ??

thank you bro...
nice reply.
enjoy ur bd player..

Hi all,


Will this c5500 can DTS output through analog (RCA) or with just digital out/coxial out?

I need 2 confirm bfore buy...

As far as I know, you'll only get stereo from the RCA (red and white) audio out and this is true of any player, not just the BD-C5500. To get DTS audio, you must use either the HDMI or the digital optical out. There is no digital coaxial out on the BD-C5500, only the digital optical out.

Can it play m2ts movie files from the BDMV folder?
TQ

hi guys...1 question. i have a panasonic DVD HDMI HTIB 5.1. is it possible to connect the c5500 to my HTIB so that i utilize the 5.1 speakers? thanks

correct, RCA output = stereo, it's not restricted to c5500 but to all dvd/bluray players.
