Hi Arkx, the home theater system player is faster than your BDPS5100 player when it comes to the overall performance. -Vincent

The Bluray player is the same speed as my other players. There are some issues with the way it interacts with my universal remote that i have issues with. Otherwise the performance is excellent and i have no other complaints.

I find it to be very slow. With my Harmony remote, I trigger the turn on cycle, go get changed for bed, and by the time I get back it'll be ready. Perhaps a full minute between power on and ready to display DirecTV or BluRay. The functions are wonderful, but initial power on and shutting it down is very slow.

The 7200 is faster. when hooked up directly to the TV when using a cable input - it takes around 20 seconds for the 7200 to actuate automatically. There are a lot of features for this modelI believe you would be please with it

I must say in the beginning It felt that it was not reacting to my remote, but that just the way it is. just have to be patient its like its in relax mood...

I have owned an Oppo upconverting DVD player for several years. It does a wonderful job improving the quality of my standard DVD movie disks. But a $500.00 Oppo Blu_Ray player? I have a big problem with that. Can we really SEE the difference in a Blu_Ray movie played on an Oppo machine versus a player costing half the price. I cannot say, but I personally doubt it. I'd really like someone to explain this (in non-tech terms) to me.

William: As far as Blu-ray picture quality is concerned, it's doubtful you'd see a difference between the Oppo and any other Blu-ray player that isn't a piece of junk. And yes, $500 it a lot of money to spend, so the Oppo will NEVER become a best-seller. And since you already own an Oppo upconverting player, there is no need to purchase this unit (unless you have a lot of SACDs and DVD-Audio discs). However, the Oppo loads a Blu-ray disc faster than almost any player out there, except for the PS3.A. Franco: While I don't own the PS3, I have read that the Oppo upconverting capability is second to none. You might check with the AVS forum, I'm sure there are detailed discussions of these two premier products.

I believe the BDPS6200 is the newest 4k Sony player out. Not sure on the other brands.

You may get more features & a better built but it doesn't give better sound & picture. I have the pioneer reference BDP-09FD at $2,500.00 and it now has problems playing new blu-ray discs. I purchased a $89.00 Sony in May of 2014 and it had just the same great picture & sound that the pioneer has,however i needed to return the Sony because it also had problems playing some blu-ray discs by freezing & the player turning itself off!? At this time no new firmware were available for these players. I'm done with blu-ray!

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it. I conencted to my home server PC in about 5 minutes and instantly have access to 100s of my downloaded (torrent) Divx movies. Pretty sweet. Watching YouTube videos online is pretty addictive as well through the device, the Pandora radio also works slick.... I love the machine. They released a firmware a few weeks ago which I installed as soon as I bought my player (week ago) and have not had any problems at all. Maybe the new firmware fixed things?Each to his own, but for me the player works great and is super addictive with all the extra bells and whistles. Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it.

So far it had been the best DVD player I've ever owned. Yes I know it does blue ray it this is my first br player. Also the international DVD playing had been flawless. I think it has been about a year since we've owned it. I do make sure to turn it off when finished playing, something I wasn't great about with other players.

BTW...yesterday I was in BB and Sony has just released a 32" XBR9 1080p with 120hz Motionflow technology... and it is up on the Sony Style website.. so much for what the salesman tell you that Sony is not going to produce..But compared to the Sony 32" 1080p 60 hz.. I thought the higher priced model with 120hz looked grainy to me. I really didn't see the $200 difference in the (retail price). Perhaps on Blu Ray disc viewing there is a difference.. GLTA

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

Thank you, Matt. I'll be hooking the player up to the internet today will do the update straight away. I've only had the player for a couple of weeks but so far no problems and I love the difference in the picture. I really hadn't expected such a large difference. Haven't tried non Blu-Ray yet.

No, it's not a BluRay player, but it is 'multi-region'. Search Amazon for BluRay players if that'swhat you need.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Did they just forget these features when they made Blue ray players? I doubt it, they just left room for improvement so we would have a reason to buy newer models. The proof in this is to ask yourself how many DVD players you have boughtt over the years, and how many of them were bought because the old one stopped working, versus you just wanted some of the cool upgraded features they offered?

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

Burketop, I'd like to know where you found that Samsung players play PAL? Because I have a BDr-D25052 which play all types of DVD & BluRay but NOT PAL and a chat with Samsung support advised ALL their players SOLD IN THE USA are REGION A and will NOT play PAL. So far not much luck trying to unlock it and make it region free. Thanks for any guidance!
