A/V sync problems with Blu-Ray? How can it be corrected? Or can it? Besides the 1GB of internal flash memory, how does this compare to the 350?

I have had the same frustrating experience, although I've not experimented with the same array of equipment as bwalter. Quite simply, I have a Pioneer Blu-Ray and (52") Plasma. And whether it's a Blu-Ray playing or a DVD being upscaled or a Region 1 or 2 disk, there's sometimes a video lag, but only sometimes! What I gather is that the plasma screen takes a little time to process its data, but it can be INCONSISTENT: It will sometimes shift within the same disk, which is why I've hesitated to buy an outboard audio delay controller. As bwalter asks, why is this problem not being seriously addressed, when clearly across the net there are many people posting complaints of this nature?

Same problem i have faced... the higher resolution video is jerky (stutters) while being played on a very fast computer. I tried copying it to my hard drive so that SD-Memory card reading lag time is been reduced, but to no benefit.

Isnt that a shame? so you're saying that it will look grainy on any blue ray player? I wouldve thought any encoding problem wouldve been fixed by now, i mean 300 just came out on blue ray.Do stores offer refunds or something? Have you tried a different blue ray? or a different TV? Im going to take mine to my friends house and test it on his LCD TV.thxThank you.

Thank you, I was getting annoyed at my 5982. It stutters while playing avi movies that were burned on DVDs. Using both component and hdmi cables, turning progressive scan on and off, movies still stutters. Only small kbps movies like anime didn't stutter.

I have since received the cd-rom from Panasonic to upgrade my DMP-BD35 blue-ray player and that solved the problem. It is now properly upgraded with the Version.7 firmware upgrade. If there are others having a similar problem upgrading their firmware, contact Panasonic.

Take my advice and stay away. It seems to be a hit or miss with the 1600. Mine unfortunately was a miss. Lots of quality control issues for Samsung. Amazon had an alert flag on the player right after I bought mine (figures) that they were looking into the recent complaints. I see now the alert flag is off. Never did play any blu movies. Support from overseas said that the movies were too new and I would have to wait for a firmware update. Sent it back the next day and got a Sony D360 which works great. Would really liked to have the Samsung because my TV is one and it is awsome. Oh well guess I'll just have to keep another remote around. Take my advice and stay away.

I have HT-RC360 and I adjusted A/V Sync at 150ms. At this setting, it seems perfectly synced.

I can help you. Bought the 1500 back in June. Worked great until the Bond movies came out. Bought FYEO and it wouldn't play. Got the new 2.0 firmware update from Samsung. Installed that with no problems. But after the update I couldn't play ANY blu movie. Sent the machine to Samsung to get fixed. Said they would have a new firmware update to resolve the problem but couldn't tell me when that would take place. So I had lost patience (over 1 month w/out being able to play blu on 1500). I bought the bd35. Not one single problem. Played the Bond movie with no problems. Samsung released 2.1 firmware to resolve problems with 2.0 firmware. Didn't work. So the morale of my story is that Samsung customer service is HORRIBLE! Go with the Panasonic. You won't regret it.

I have a problem with this Blu-Ray player, too... but my problem is different. The system sound is fine, and it plays regular DVDs just fine... but if we try to play a Blu-Ray, the play keeps getting interrupted and/or randomly skipping forward or backward by itself. We even took the batteries out of our remote control thinking maybe that was the problem, but the system still randomly stopped/skipped around in playing the Blu-Ray. Any ideas?

It is mentioned that some newer BlueRays will not work, but just having completed a trip from Texas to California, I have not had that issue yet. There is almost always a way to update the firmware, I'd check support and see if/what that is.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

I got a response from Sony - its a known problem with the new sony pictures copy protection scheme. The unit can be mailed in to Texas for service to make it compatible. Ill pass on that for now and wait and see if other movies become an issue (or stop watching sony movies)...

Hi Craig, Thanks for your useful input. At this stage I think I too should have gone for the 1TB model. Now I can't seem to download video clips onto the 1.5 TB. It starts off OK then freezes and the usual Task Manager solutions don't seem to help and I end up with the dreaded blue screen. I have to switch off and start again. Very boring. If anyone has a solution would be most grateful for help

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.
