30ft is a long length of cable if you have cheap cable you might need to buy a higher quality high speed cable. I had an issue with my hd66 and my samsung 6800 bluray player where if I only sent the projector 720p everything was ok but if I sent the projector 1080p to be down scaled I got snow and distortion in the image and this was at 25ft, I bought a new 25ft bluerigger high speed hdmi cable and now no problems perfect image.

Same here. Works fine with Blu Ray, but says Check Disc when I put in a DVD.

Alright, thanks for answering! I think I'll have to get a hdmi to vga converter to at least have the picture in HD then buy a bluray player later on.

What sources do you have it connected to (cable box, blu ray player, av receiver, etc)? Does this occur on each source? Has this occured starting when you first used the tv or is it new? Without knowing any other details ensure your cables (likely hdmi) are secured on both ends.

You need to format it as a FAT32 drive. It comes pre-formatted with the NTFS file system--which can't be read by most Blu-ray players.

I have the device connected to 42" connected to composite input and using a blu disk player. I used normal DVD disk movie in the blue disk player and everything works OK.I did not try blue disk movie to see the results yet.

no mine doesn't even play blue ray but to return it cost half as much as buying it, don't buy it!

What are you using it for? I love my HD66, had for almost 2 years. I have no 3-D adapter (wife get's sick) so for Blue ray movies (Awesome), PS3, Wii all connected through HDMI perfect for me. Works with light leaks in my living room on sunny days. I have also taken outside for "drive in" movie night;) I did lots of reviews and worth the money.

I had the same issue, and the problem was the HD board failed. After doing some research , I called Onkyo and they paid for the out of warranty fix because it's a known issue.Don't know whether or not your problem & solution is the same, but hope this helps.

I understand from reading the comments on other Samsung products that it is advisableto update the firmware over the Internet, I just ordered a Samsung 3D Plasma and the Pioneer 1020; based on your comment I will hold off on this Blue Ray player! It sounds like HDMI has some issues...

Where did you get the firmware 2.5 ? My BD-P1500 is having problems reading new bluray discs.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

There is also an area where you can manually set black levels which may help. Your problem seems a little different than mine. I have the TV, Pioneer Receiver, and PS3 as the Blu-Ray player. I haven't had a problem since I switched it to standard mode.

I do not have a Europian blue ray. But it shows Asian and Europian DVDs I have. Most probably it's the same with blue rays.

Premsysl B., I'm having the same exact issues. It worked the first time I plugged it in but the system won't allow me to access and files on a blue-ray disk any longer. There seems to be no driver available for it to match Win 8. I used it several times in Win 7 and now that system won't recognize it either. I'm thinking the unit has a flaw of some kind. Too bad Rosewill, Samsung, or Panasonic (all attached to this make) won't post a fix.

I don't have a blue ray DVD player and my apple t.v players just fine though the hdmi port did you trying changing the channel on it because my DVD player I do have I have to switch to hdmi 2 on my t.v to play it and when I play my apple t.v switch to port 2 on the device maybe I have to try it out on my tv in the living room since that is where the blue ray is and see what my results are. I hope that little bit of info worked for you I know it's not much but I hope you fix the problem.
