Samsung BD-P1000 problems? - Blu-ray Forum

Richard Kappele · 07-24-2006, 01:35 AM

Hi, anyone else notice the problems I am having with the BD-P1000?
1. The pop-up menus are partially off the screen. They appear to be too high (or low) and wide. T2 and Hitch put the group clear off the screen.
2. Lionsgate Blu-Ray discs look like they drop frames. The two I have (T2 and The Punisher) "stutter" all the way through.
3. A couple of times with Underworld: Evolution, after using the pop-up menu to change audio, the picture locked-up, broke-up, and then continued fine. I backed-up the disc and it played fine. If they want to play the movie while performing other tasks, they should make sure they can process them both without dropping data.

I have tried this through the composite connection at 1080i and through the HDMI (via an Ophit DDA going into the RGB connector on my Pioneer Elite Pro 720HD).

I reported the problems to Samsung and I can't even fine out if they have tested any of it.

I've heard of the stutter issue and supposedly it's only when the DTS track is selected. Which leads me to think it's the player causing these problems.

I'm guessing a Firmware update should resolve these issues (along with the soft picture complaints)

Well I popped in T2 and tried it with Dolby EX and there were no dropped frames (no "stutter"). I always watch Sony discs with uncompressed PCM so maybe they "stutter" with DTS too. Thanks!

I think there's definitely some bad pressings around... We're getting used as guinea pigs.

Not anymore. I brought mine back. I'm waiting for the Pioneer.

I'm pretty happy with my Samsung P1000, although I definately think it's the "Basic Blu Ray Player". Absolute minimum you need to do to be a Blu Ray Player. In many ways it's feature set is more basic than the giant Pioneer DVD player I bought about 7 years ago I guess.

I can understand people waiting on the Pioneer and paying that extra bit of cash, absolutely.
