Does it make a noticeable noise, such as a high pitched whine or clunking, while playing Blueray and/or DVD Discs?

Never noticed such a noise since I acquired it about 2 months ago. So far, the player has been performing well without any issues.

It's very quiet compared to our Sony which makes the sounds you described. No WiFi so if you need that feature, the Panasonic with WiFi may be a better choice (don't know about the noise with that one though).

My player does not exhibit such behavior when playing Blu-ray of DVD discs.

I've been using it about 5 times per week since I purchased it 2 months ago and it's quiet during all phases of operation (loading, playing) with all disc types (Blu-ray, std. DVD). I'm very satisfied with this player.

Yes. The unit does make noise but it does NO whir. There is the expected noise of the rotation of the discs but not overly loud or obnoxious. The unit is very sturdy. I am a very large person and it has no difficulty with my weight or size and working.

I have not noticed this sound, however one of my children says she has heard it once or twice. We all agree that it works fine and if there is a noise it is not affecting how well it works.. We have had no problems with ours, it has worked great.

Yes, it does. Windows Media Player played it though I prefer VLC to play most of my media. Optical drive is a little noisy was what I observed right away.

Does the Samsung dvd player make a strange grinding sound when attempting to load dvd's? I'm thinking my unit is broken. Also, it keeps rejecting the dvd so that does not work at all.

Loadiing yes. Playing is smooth and deals with blu rays very well. So far love it. No noise while playing. Have not tried PAL encoded discs yet. Ready to get another for the bedroom.

I think so but we've eaten up several blue ray players in less than 18 months. Seems like the sound keeps going out and no one either with the blue ray player or Samsung knows why. I'm hooked up to a 25 dollar DVD player and the sound is okay and the picture is okay. I've mostly given up and watch movies on my Mac Laptop and enjoy it very much.

Yes, it does. I just ran a test on a home-recorded disc - no problems playing it.

I think this is normal. All HD-DVD and Bluray players have a delay in spitting out the disc tray and playing. Some mentioned the latest firmware update should speed it up a little. But don't worry about it being faulty becuase they are all like that.

Pro's: It works as a basic DVD player,,,nothing fancy but plays our older non blue rays....we got it for our "speXial" DVDs we play with in the bedromm away from the kids.output HDMI to the TV..Con's: noisy meaing mechanical operation makes noise and funky sounds...does not damage disk but you swear it is....turn up the vol and when the vol is up its ok. For us we do not care about sound track. not overwhelming the action/sound in the movie.

The hard drive does make a noise because it is always spinning. I had it in our living room, and moved it to the garage because of the noise.

It's not that bad. It is noticeable when the unit is first turned on, and before playing video/audio. But in a moderately sized room, with the video/audio at normal levels (and especially at high levels during louder scenes), it is barely noticeable if at all. It could be considered bothersome by some, in a small room, when the video/audio are quieter.

I have not heard any of high pitch whine as of yet. I just bought this mouse and I'm loving it so far. Hope I answered your question.

If you have the blue ray hooked up through an hdmi cable all sound should sound good through the sound bar, but you will probably get better sound quality going straight from DVD player to soundbar!

I have this installed in my PS4 and I do not hear anything unusual or loud when it's running. Even after having the system on for several hours streaming movies or playing games.

I have. Less than 1 week old. Using HDMI cable. Played "Polar Express" (Full Screen Version) and player "stutters" every 5 minutes or so. Tried two other "wide-screen" discs and the "stuttering" did not happen. Playing to a new Magnavox 47" LCD. Home burned vacation DVD's upconverted and played just great! Very Good for audio CD's also!

I have never heard a squeal from mine, and I think it is as quiet as any of my other DVD or BD players. I can hear it when I jump foreward or back, but I would consider it quiet. I have been very, very happy with this BD unit, and I have given two of the portable Sony DVD units as gifts.
