The Amazon connection should be available. Although the Netflix button is on the remote, to get to the Amazon connection, you need to click on network, then the Amazon box. That should take you to the Amazon video home page. Neither my son (his own system) nor I have had problems finding nor using the Amazon, Netflix, Hulu or other applications from the menu. Hope this helps you locate and use the Panasonic.

Gina Harris, The Amazon Instant Video App can be found on the following Samsung models only: http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/G00009411006-compatible Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Can Samsung please create an App (application) for the BD5500 so that the users can watch Amazon's Instant Video without having to buy media player that has the Amazon App? Thanks.

I too am interested in an Amazon instant video app for the BD-C5500. AMAZON, PLEASE DO IT!

It does support Amazon Instant Video. BUT, the smart application for this TV is outdated, does not contain Wishlist access, or the better/ newer user interface that other TVs do (like Samsung) .

You cannot. No app has been written to support Amazon instant video. This model is at least 5 years old.

According to LG no.http://answers.lg.com/answers/7676/product/MD00002501/lg-electronics-bp220-questions-answers/questions.htm?sort=recentq "Amazon Instant Video and Amazon Prime have not been added to any of our 2012 Smart TV model lines, which includes the Smart TV BluRay players. This was a decision made by Amazon. At this time, we have no information available as to whether this feature will be added."- Staff Expert answered 2 weeks, 2 days ago User Name: NeilE

NO, contrary to the answers here, this player does NOT play Amazon Prime videos. There is NO Amazon Prime application in the Samsung App store. I've updated the firmware as new as it can be and still no Amazon Prime. That is one of the primary reasons I chose this player, so it looks like I got suckered into this purchase. Yea for me.

I believe there is an amazon instant video app now available for SmartHub. So. You would connect the blu ray player to your network, download updates, install amazon instant video app, then you can watch amazon tv through the bluray's "Smart" features.*Based on Charlie's response, perhaps the streaming app was never released for the blu ray player.. As he suggested though you may want to look into adding a Roku - I bought a refurb roku 2 xs for 48 bucks shipped and it's great. Roku 3 is not worth it if you're mainly looking to stream content*

That's a trick question, yes it will play amazon instant video from a device that has the amazon instant video service, but this TV - by itself, does not have Amazon instant video. It is not a "Smart" TV. No apps whatsoever.

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

This player does support Amazon Prime Instant Video. It is included in the menu of services the player can utilize.

Scott Favell, No, unfortunately. Amazon Instant Video was not released for the "D" 2011 Samsung LED models by Amazon. Here are a list of devices that support the Amazon Instant Video App, including some Blu-Ray players and Home Theater systems. http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/G00009411006-compatible --Mr. S

It's functioning on my set. EDIT: APPARENTLY there are a few different firmware versions on these sets...mine is E550i-b2 V 1.16.47.0758. Some sets have E550i-b2 V 1.25.24.0234. My opinion is that this is causing a lot of problems in the tv enthusiast community. It's possible that Amazon Instant Video is NOT working on both firmware versions, as some are still reporting it isn't functioning. Vizio is NOT offering a firmware update at this time, so as far as I know, you are stuck with what firmware version you get....for the time being.

For the videos the app works fine, but the music app does not work, even after I have contacted Amazon about it repeatedly. The music app for Amazon has not updated since April and still doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure it's related to something Amazon did. I've tried watching Amazon Instant Video on a couple computers in the past week and when I went to play the video, they both said, "Updating player..." I hope it isn't broken for good; I use Amazon Video more on my TouchPad than on any other device.
