The Samsung BDP1600 Review Thread

[Torontonian]

I bought mine on May 9 here in Toronto for just under
$260. plus taxes.

The player works fine and was easy to set up. It is truly
plug-and-play. An HDMI to my Sharp 1080p TV and RCA
connectors to the stereo is all that it took to get the thing
working.

Surprisingly, on Tuesday last, the audio would not start and
a call to Samsung Canada elicited the suggestion to turn off
the power and turn it on about 10 seconds later.

Lo and behold, it worked!

I do have one problem and it deals with jpeg pictures.
When I start a slide show, it gradually increases to the
next speed and the pictures are now going too fast.
I have to adjust downwards the playback speed and
nobody can seem to find anything to pin down the playback
speed.

Perhaps when the next download becomes available, there could
be a solution to the problem--unless someone out there has had
the same problem with the 1600 and can share a solution.

Otherwise, all in all, it's quite a satisfactory playback device.
