Universal blus skipping and freezing... anyone else?

[EvilE981]

well I have the latest update so the player tells me no update is needed. IDK how to erase the current update or overwrite it and try again though.

My player was out for service 2 times back in Feb/march. While doing a firmware update the player just shut off and wouldn't ready any disks. I had to send it to Samsung for repair. The service had ran out in December but they extended the coverage period for the repair. When it came back it made this god awful squealing noise when disks would load after being put in the player or if I skipped sceens. The noise would last in periods excess of 20mins each time. It also now has a habit of audio drops when watching Anime titles during high action sequences- as if its too much info to process or something.

All in all I will never buy a Sammy product again. Customer service was great however its back from the 2nd repair and still problems. I had a feeling it might be the player- i just found it odd that its only with Universal titles.


Funny thing is when watching Serenity it skipped no less then 8 times in the 1st 12 mins. I paused the movie and wrote this post. 20 mins later I went back to resume play and did so without any problems... WTF
