Does lg blu ray 570 work with amazon vod

As of today (7/17/13) LG customer support tells me, with a measure of vagueness, that they are "concluding a contract with Amazon to provide connectivity to more LG players, and a software update will be coming out mid-July." By my lights, it IS the middle of July. This sounds like BS to me. LG agent was vague about recognizing my particular unit (label on back reads "LG BD572 Aug 2010", clear as day). Amazon customer support agent, equipped with same HW information, attempted to talk me through the process, took me down the exact-same avenues I'd already explored, arrived at the identical impasse I'd arrived at: inability to get LG device to cough-up a five-digit "access code". Do any of these bozos know what they are talking about, re the HW/SW products they are taking our perfectly-good money for????

I called their customer service on 12/22/12 and was told that LG is working on the App software for amazon instant video for my 47lm7600 model. The impression I got from the conversation was that most if not all of the smart tv's will have this updated in the future. He couldn't tell me exactly when. Right now this feature isn't available on any LG tv if I understood him correctly.

No, currently the player's Amazon Video on Demand app does not allow 5.1 output.

I'm considering buying a VBR337 myself because it is listed on Amazon's site as compatible with app for Amazon streaming video. I currently have Vizio TV and a non-Amazon-compatible Vizio BR player. Check out compatibility list at

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you.

Huh? One of the answers, below, says that "there is no Amazon on Samsung products, only SONY and Panasonic." Nope. Untrue. I own two Samsung TVs, and both have Amazon Instant Video on them. I do not currently own a Samsung player (I'm considering this one to play Region2 disks, like "Blake's Seven" which has never, ever been released to the US market). FYI, at present, while virtually every Samsung TV ever put out supports Amazon Instant Video... only two models of BD players do. Blu-ray Player Manufacturer and Model Year Samsung BD-F5900 2013 Samsung BD-F7500 2013 So, the answer is... THIS device will not provide Amazon Instant Video (at present, at least).

LG has yet to add support for Amazon Prime/Instant Video on the LM8600 series of TV's. LG support had said they would Amazon come thus past November but have as yet ti do so.

Sunora W.,This model does not have the Amazon Instant Video App available. However, many Samsung Blu-Ray players have apps, including the Amazon Instant Video option. If you're in the market for a new player, consider one that has Amazon included. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

I believe because Amazon an LG did not negotiate for that access. It has quick connect for Netflix, Hulu, and any others. LG also offers rentals in 2d and 3d simu;iar to Blockbuster vdeo rentals. I believe you ca connect via the internet "google"; I do not have Amazon Prime. I go to the internet just like I would from my computer. I suggest you send Amazon your question-I find them to be very resourceful and helpful..

I just got mine today and yes it is compatible with Amazon Prime Videos once you link it to your account.

I have the same problem. I bought this expensive unit and looked forward to watching the Band of Brothers series in Blu-ray. It does not work. What a big disappointment. Way to go LG for not keeping the updates going. I may return this unit for something else.

I just sent the same request to Amazon customer service. Maybe if they get enough requests something will happen. our BD 570 is only 2 years old - so were not ready to go shopping for a new Blu-ray player yet.here are the links for customer service @ both sites - if we barrage them with requests - maybe something will happen?https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=508510&https://wws.lg.com/us/support/message-customer-support

Yeah, I'm late.....But if any new buyers are juggling this topic, I've discovered some information from researching Blu-Ray HTiB's for well over a year. In regards to the differences in the two models, the 570 can produce a stronger, crisper sound than the 370. The 570 also has built-in WiFi, you have to purchase a separate component to stream content, wireless, to the 370. The DLNA support for the 370 had been of and on, so its caused confusion. It currently supports it with the latest update.

Yes, it does. ALL Blu-Ray drives support Blu-Ray 3D, because it is not a separate standard or anything - it's just a Blu-Ray disc at a higher rate for 3D effects. What you need to worry about is making sure that your GPU and monitor support 3D playback, otherwise it won't display properly.

Sorry, am unsure even after looking at the Verbatim website ( http://www.verbatim.com/subcat/optical-media/blu-ray/lth/ ), still am unsure to say with any certainty, I'd be just guessing
