You can add the Samsung linkstick USB adapter for wifi, but I've seen it for $50 to $80.Today with the latest firmware 1032 I tried my cheap $15 tenda W522U USB wifi adapter I have for my rasbery pi and it worked. The tenda W522U adapter is a 2.4/5Ghz adapter but only runs on the 2.4Ghz with this blu ray player, I guess they don't have the 5Ghz drivers in the firmware. But it does connect on wireless A/B/G and N so it steams my ripped DVDs from my NAS good.

Brian L. Peterson, Yes, there is an Ethernet port along with Wi-Fi included in the player itself. Netflix and Vudu are supported Apps on the BD-H6500. Thanks for your interest in Samsung Blu-Ray players. --Mr. S

Hi!I'm from France and I confirm that you can use both Bluetooth and wifi at the same time. Both are totally independent with a blue led for Bluetooth and a red led for wifi.

I resides in Canada and the machine works fine. No problems so far. It came with the adapter to switch from the PAL system, which is European, to the North American system.

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean. At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

Jeff, has anyone responded to your question? I have the same situation and would love to add a wireless adapter to my DMP-BD55k but not sure it will work.

If region is an issue for your collection, you can check out hacks like this to make your player region free: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bd65/10861 (similar model)I have tried this hack with a couple of Panasonic DVD / BD players with success to make DVD into region free.But, for some reason, I couldn't hack with DMP-BD75.when the power to the unit is turned on, home screen appears. when pressing 1, 2, 3, ..9 the first press 1, it recognize as OK button or something. anyway, maybe this BD can not be hacked.

This device is multi-region for DVD out of the box. But it is not completely for BD as there is a Region Code Instructions set on a piece of paper. I tried it successfully on mine. - No disc inserted - Press "Setup" - Enter code "1369" - DVD code is set to 0 which means multi-region - Blu Ray code is 1 for region A, 2 for region B and 4 for region C - press "Setup" again to saveIf you set Blu Ray code to 2 it should now read your region B disk.

xavier, I was looking for the same feature set: an upscaling DVD player, converting PAL to NTSC, region-unlocked. I opted for a Pioneer DV-49AV hardware modified by 220-electronics to be region free to take advantage of the high quality conversion engine; I don't think the Pioneers accept a software region unlock code. Another suggestion might be the Philips DVP5982 which appears to have an unlock code but not quite as high a quality upscaling chipset as the Pioneer; I've not tried the 5982, but I've had good experiences with the older non-upscaling DVP5140 reading region 2 PAL DVDs.

I own the same player but I bought in Australia. It works fine with Blue-ray Region B and with some Region A discs (I'm not sure why?), but this is not a region free player.

I just got a LG BD390 and hooked it up to a D-Link DIR-655. I could access local network content reliably but the Internet connection was intermittent at best. I upgraded DIR-655 firmware from version 1.21 to 1.32A, disabled SecureSpot, and that fixed all my networking issues with the BD390. Beware: When upgrading the DIR-655 firmware you may lose your configuration. I saved the configuration to a file as recommended, but after the upgrade the router reported errors when trying to restore the saved configuration. I had to manually reconfigure all the router settings, which was a pain but at least now everything works.

I'm kind of like wondering if this Samsung Smart TV does have PAL, SECAM & NTSC features for regional operation. Because NTSC only operates in both North and South America and not for Africa!!

Yes it does. This model has no issues working in the U.S...Aslo, I purchased games and I am playing them just fine. and once you power up the first time it lets you choose your regional settings including language.

Dear S Mitra, my unit (BDX1400) will NOT play european (PAL) DVDs. It ejects them with the message "Wrong Region"Am I doing something wrong? How do you make it work?
