Is anyone else having issues with Fantasia 2000

I have 2.12 installed.

Spaulding · 12-06-2010, 07:12 PM

I had a BD-P1600 and now I have a Panasonic DMP-BD65 I suggest ditching the samsung.

mars396 · 12-07-2010, 10:05 AM

Can anyone who has the BD-P1600 confirm that this is an issue with the player ?????

I have had Star Trek seasons 1, 2, and 3 for a year now, and have been more than patient waiting for a firmware update to fix my issue.

in three of the episodes (Doomsday Machine, Mirrror, Mirror, and Enterprise Incident) they start with garbled sound and pixeled screens.

The show gets stuck, then unstuck, but a few seconds have passed that were skipped over.

This only happens on these three episodes, and in the same exact spots each time.

There are no visible scratches on the discs, and I have tried various methods to clean them.

jrmac2000 · 12-08-2010, 01:50 AM

which version of the firmware do you have installed. The latest is 2.12 and was only available by downloading to a flashdrive or cd.

mars396 · 12-08-2010, 10:04 AM

firmware is up-to-date

the issue was a dirty disc:

I havn't read the whole thread, but is it true that there's a problem with the BD-P1600 reading BD containing 2 cuts of a movie (hancock / gladiator / angels and demons) ?

My sister have a BD-P1600 and when she watch the remastered gladiator BD, it sometimes freeze/skip for a few seconds. The problem is not the disc because it plays fine in my Sony BD player. She doesn't have any problems with any other movies.....

Never had any problems with those: Gladiator, The Hangover, Harry Potter 1 and 2 (Ultimate Editions). Maybe I played a couple other, but can´t remember right now.

mars396 · 12-08-2010, 02:30 PM

so far, my p1600 has played everything I've thrown at it (the 48 in my collection + various rentals). My only problems were with Star Trek season sets, but I determined last night that my issue was dirty discs, not the player.

jrmac2000 · 12-08-2010, 02:42 PM

The two I have trouble with in recent memory are Harry Potter 1 Ultimate edition, and fantasia 2000.

Guydowood · 12-09-2010, 08:33 PM

This player has a history of not reading certain movies DTS tracks. Causing it to skip and or go out of sync with the picture. I had problems with most of the discs on the Star Trek season sets as well as Potter: UE's. After getting some tips from members on these boards, I decided to dump the sammy for a panasonic BD-65. I must say, what a major+ in PQ and playback. Sammy may make great TV's, but they suck at some BD players............

A good friend of mine was talking to me about his 1600 today.

He originally had the BDP-1000 and I helped him with several Firmware updates but eventually that player was just deemed un-usable.

Sadly... He bought the 1600.

Anyway, He thinks he should give up on it. It has a problem now and he says the FW is up to date. I think it's worth trying to fix.

Am I wrong,... is this player junk or is it still ok?

Edit- I went over and tried to help him. His problem was with the players network connection. We couldn't sort it out and he's going to get his third player now. The Samsung BPD 1600 will sit in a box on top of the Samsung BDP -1000 in the attic. The good news is this new player will be anything but Samsung.

+1 here. I'm dying for a solution for the "movie-from-external-hdd-through-usb" problem...
Everything I tried so far failed miserably. The damned thing reads everything BUT the movie files on my external hard drive. It reads mp3, photos, but the movie files (avi, mkv, whatever...), NOT. I tried changing the name of the files, putting it the root, in folders, whatever. And I can't find anything about that issue on the Internet. Everybody seems to just give up...

Please, any help? Or a direction?

Peace!

Do you see all the movies on your external drive???
I absolutely need your help because in my case the only things I see are the photos and mp3 files. The movie files don't work at all, no matter the type (avi, mkv...)

jrmac2000 · 02-28-2011, 06:32 PM

Finally got a new firmware update last night.

2.15 If I am not mistaken

Bishop_99 · 03-01-2011, 02:45 AM

Be careful with the firmware update. I updated from the 2.13 firmware and now my player can't play Fox Blu-ray movies. I get a red screen saying I need to do a firmware update. I'm trying to go back to the 2.13 update.

F1Prince · 03-16-2011, 01:58 AM

Be very careful with firmware updates. I own a BD-P1600-XAC (Canada) and when i tried to upgrade to version 2.15 of the firmware my player went dead !

Can't do anything with this box now, it simply shows 'LOAD', displays nothing on the screen and not able to play any disc. It's now just a piece of junk.

What's event worst is that although it really looks like a bug in the firmware, SAMSUNG wont do anything to help me.

Bishop_99 · 03-20-2011, 04:15 AM

Update: I turned on my Blu-ray player and I was notified that the 2.16 version was available. Since the 2.15 firmware brought on the problem that I couldn't play the new Fox Blu-ray movies, I upgraded to the 2.16 to see if it fixed the problem. Thankfully I can now play the Fox Blu-ray movies I was having problems with. The firmware has fixed the problem. I'm happy about that

jrmac2000 · 04-04-2011, 10:58 PM

Yet another update, 2.16, is available. They are coming fast and furious, but I still have audio sync issues with nearly every title.

HikerMike · 05-01-2011, 01:47 AM

I have a BD-P1600. It stopped working about 2 weeks ago when my kid tried connecting to Netflix via the player. I just tried loading a BR disc and it is dead. The player will turn off and on, and open and close. The TV (Samsung series 6) doesn't recognize the player via HDMI cable. The BR player stops with LOAD on the front. I called Samsung and they said it crashed during an automatic firmware upgrade (I never consented for an upgrade AFAIK, my kid my have accidentally). I tried DLing the latest firmware on a USB stick but nothing happens. Holding FF for 5-20 seconds does nothing either. Is this player done for or is there anything I can do?
