   Horrible wi fi, MANY PROBLEMS STREAMING NETFLIX and hulu. Costomer support is horrible. My Netflix does not work for two months and samsung is saying they will fix it in the next two months with out shipping a new one out… I have had it only four months and have had nothing but problems with Internet tv and play back of reg DVDs!!!

   I do Not recommend this product at all, nothing but trouble and not support at all. Was going to furnish our house in samsung appliances and fill all the rooms with there tvs etc, but noway now… Junky blurry and support! GARBAGE!!!!! Spent 70$ on AT&T connect tek to have samsung finally admit they were having same problems with many others around the states. This all after three weeks of denying. No return  on my product!

   Blu-ray 3D… Almost ready for prime time
   Samsung’s BD-C6900 is one of the first Blu-ray 3D players on the market (the other being Panasonic’s DMP-BDT300 and upcoming DMP-BDT350). As a first generation Blu-ray 3D player, you have to expect a few glitches (and you’ll get them), but if you’re itching to watch 3D TV at home in full HD 1080p, this player will get the job done, with a few nice perks and one potentially major caveat.

   There is a lot to like about the BD-C6900 including super-fast boot-up and load times : 8 seconds to boot, 11 seconds to load a DVD and an almost unbelievable 18 seconds to load a BD-Java Blu-ray title (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl”). This is about twice as fast to load a BD-Java disc compared to the otherwise super-speedy OPPO BDP-83 player, and is less than 1/3 the load time of the Pioneer BDP-320 on the same title. It also offers a wealth of IPTV options and web widgets, including Netflix and VUDU streaming, YouTube and Pandora (among others). And with DLNA networking, you can connect it to your networked computers to access (and stream), audio, video and photo content like nobody’s business.

   As a 3D player, it seems to perform exactly as designed – we say “seems” because the only real 3D content we have on Blu-ray 3D Disc to test with is the Monsters vs. Aliens promo disc that Samsung includes in the 3D Starter Kit. When connected to a Samsung UN55C8000 3D LED/LCD TV, the MvA disc looked fantastic using the Samsung active shutter 3D glasses. Yes we did see some “crosstalk” (interference between left and right channels), but this was caused by the TV, not the player.

   But as a 3D player, there is one little known caveat – yes the player is compatible with 2D TVs (in 2D mode) and with current HDMI 1.3 receivers, however, if you want to take full advantage of the audio and video capabilities of this player used with a 3D TV, then you will need to have one of the brand new HDMI 1.4-equipped audio video receivers. Current HDMI 1.3 receivers *cannot* pass through the HDMI 1.4 3D video signal to a compatible 3D TV. This means that if you want to take advantage of lossless audio codecs (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio), your only option is to upgrade to an HDMI 1.4-equipped receiver or use the player’s multi-channel analog outputs and let the player do the decoding. And this is neither the easiest to set-up nor the highest quality option as it relies on the bass management and speaker configuration capabilities of the player, which are weaker than the bass management capabilities of most receivers.

   Panasonic’s Blu-ray 3D players get around this limitation by providing two HDMI outputs: an HDMI 1.4 3D-enabled output (to connect directly to the display or to an HDMI 1.4 receiver) and a legacy HDMI 1.3 output for connecting to an HDMI 1.3 receiver. Is this a show-stopper? It might be if you don’t want to upgrade your receiver (again). But if you only use the speakers built into your TV (blech!), or you’re happy with the legacy lossy surround formats (Dolby Digital and regular DTS) which you can get from the optical output, OR if you have an HDMI 1.4-compliant A/V receiver then this will not be a problem for you.

   As a standard 2D Blu-ray player, we found that the BD-C6900 was a mixed bag – some upconversion tasks like odd cadence detection and correction as well as standard 2:3 film cadence detection, were performed well, as was the player’s treatment of diagonal lines: no jaggies visible here, even on the spinning white line torture tests on the HQV benchmark discs. But we were surprised to see some noticeable digital artifacts on standard Blu-ray Discs such as “Blade Runner” – the intro title sequence looked less than ideal with ghosting in the title sequence and beyond that, some noise and blockiness in the black backgrounds that we have not seen on other players.

   Overall, the BD-C6900 is a pretty solid Blu-ray and DVD player, but for the 2D Blu-ray playback artifacts and HDMI 1.3-receiver incompatibility. If these factors are not important to you, then you are likely to be happy with it. If not, then wait for Samsung’s higher end Blu-ray 3D player, coming later this year (not yet announced) or take a look at the Panasonic or Sony Blu-ray 3D players when they become more widely available.

   Our comprehensive BD-C6900 review is available on Big Picture Big Sound (dot com).

   Excellent 3D Blu-ray player
   I purchased this player along with the Samsung UN55C7000 TV and they work very well together. Setup, including the wireless internet access, was a snap. The included apps and the apps available for download are useful, especially Netflix since we were already a customer. Samsung promises a lot more apps by the end of the year. I did have a problem with it accepting a YouTube account. It did initially, and immediately brought up the favorites previously saved on YouTube. However, after a reboot it would no longer accept the account info, though it does still access YouTube ok, and I can save favorites using the player. It did accept our Netflix and Pandora account info without a problem. The player has a nice design, with blue accent lighting that you can turn off if desired. It is also small and light and is very unobtrusive among my other components; when the accent lighting is off you hardly even notice it is there. When it is powered on or a DVD is inserted it automatically changes the TV input to the HDMI port the player is hooked up to. I have an HDMI switching AVR, but it does not pass HDMI 1.4 so I connect the DVD player directly to the TV while the rest of my sources go through the AVR. I send the players optical sound output to the AVR so I can use the 7.1 surround sound setup. The player also has discrete analog audio outputs for all 7.1 channels as an option, and my AVR accepts 7.1 analog inputs. I may try that since my AVR is several years old and the new Samsung player may have better decoding. I already had a Blu-ray player in my PS3, but its firmware has not been updated for 3D yet so decided to go ahead and get the Samsung as part of a package deal that also got me the glasses and Monsters vs Aliens BD essentially for free. I am glad I did, because this Samsung is considerably faster than the PS3 in playing BDs.

   The TV and this player are my first Samsung products (I have been a die-hard Sony fan for years) and I am very impressed with both products. Registering the player extended the warranty to 18 months which was a nice bonus. I have had this player for about a month, and am extremely pleased with its performance. It may seem a bit pricey, but having HDMI 1.4, 3D capability, and wireless internet access with lots of apps makes it reasonable. Naturally the wireless capability is also crucial for firmware updates and use of the BD Live features.

   Dissapointment
   I bought this player last month. I had a Samsung Blu-ray player before and it played DVDs and Blu-rays with fantastic picture and sound. It downloaded Netflix movies without a problem. The player lasted about a year and died. I was told it was cheaper to buy a new player than try to fix the old one. So I bought the Samsung BD-C6900 to have the latest player with 3D capability.
   
   I don’t have a 3D TV yet but plan to get one this summer. Set up was easy and down loaded Netflix and other internet apps. The player played DVDs and Blu-rays without problems. Netflix had a problem. Sound and picture didn’t match. I called Samsung and Netflix and they couldn’t solve the problem. I returned the player for another BD-C6900 and it did the same thing. It also failed to play the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel Blu-ray movie and the player couldn’t play it. The movie played without a problem on my PS3. So I returned the player and got my money back and I’ll wait till there are better players in the stores.

   Bluray 3D still new technology and working out bugs
   Well I must say that this is the best blu ray player I have ever had let a lone the only 3D blu ray player I have. Once downfall I had was that since this is such a new technology that is available on the market there will be some bugs that have not been fully taken care of. I purchased this item from best buy as a package deal with the 3D HDTV and the 3D glasses starter kit. When I got home the 3D blu ray player did not work right out of the box. Well, let me re phrase that, the blu ray player did work but it didn’t read any discs. I called samsung and they told me to do a hard reset and that did not solve the problem. The next thing they told me to do was to download the firmware update. Well, that did not solve the problem either. So they told me to mail it in, I just bought it and did not have it longer then 3hrs so I called best buy and they had me bring it in and swap it for another one in the store for free. The 2nd one I got worked perfectly so just know that there are some bugs still in the system. But that is expected with new technology. Other the this, the picture quality is superb.

   Is it worth it?
   Hello there,
   
   I currently have a Samsung HLT5689SX/XAA DLP 3D ready TV with the TriDef 3D system for it. It is really cool and converts regular DVD’s into 3D for viewing using the Tri-Def 3D system with the shutter glasses. But you do have to play the DVD’s on a PC or Laptop connected to your HDTV using the TriDef software to do so. Currently the TriDef software does not convert regular Blu-ray DVD’s to field sequential 3D mode as it does regular DVD’s. I do also want to state tech-support from [TriDef] and [DDD] has been great for me.

   I do not have a Blu-ray player, except for the one in my laptop and have been waiting for something like this Samsung BD-C6900 1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player to come out. In checking with Samsung, they stated this player is compatible with my DLP 3D TV and TriDef 3D system, but there is some other things people need to know about these systems and the Samsung BD-C6900 1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player.

   Note; Michael Good’s review is really good, read it as well, as he stated, this player will not work on just any TV. 1st you need a 3D TV and 3D system that includes either wired shutter glasses or a transmitter with wireless shutter glasses that is compatible with this Samsung BD-C6900 1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player.

   Then, unlike my TriDef software and system, as stated from Samsung support, it “WILL NOT” convert any Blu-ray DVD to 3D to play on your 3D HDTV. It will only do so for the field sequential or HQFS 3D Blu-ray movies, which it does not look like any are available at this time. Samsung support stated that they are currently working on this issue, but why upgrade to this player until they can convert any Blu-ray movie to 3D like my TriDef software and system are able to do.

   I have also contact Amazon.com customer service asking them to do a better job in stating which 3D format each 3D movie is that they have listed. I hope all of you that have any of this 3D equipment contact them and request the same thing. Most 3D movies are the ANALGLYPH 3D format that has the pairs of colored glasses that come with them. From what I have learned only HQFS or sensio 3D format movies will work for the 3D mode of these systems and that is what you need to look for when buying 3D movies for these systems. Which “NONE” of the most popular 3D movies are out in these 3D formats at this time? The only one I have found is SPYKIDS 3 DVD in the HQFS format and no Blu-rays, except for maybe the Monsters vs Aliens Blu-ray that comes with the Samsung 3D Starter Kit SSG-P2100T.

   Note: The ANALGLYPH 3D movies will work on this player, but not in the HQFS 3D mode that it is intended. Play them in regular mode and use the colored glasses. The HQFS (high quality field sequential) 3D format/mode is much better then the ANALGLYPH 3D format/mode or having a system as I do that turns regular DVD’s into the field sequential 3D movies. But this player will not at this time according to Samsung, in an online chat session I had with them today. So again, I don’t really see how it would be worth upgrading to this player or a 3D HDTV until this issue is resolved.

   Please don’t take my word on it; there is plenty of information on the web tech forums. It will do you some good to understand the different 3D formats before purchasing this player and a 3D HDTV as I have.

   I hope they get this all worked out soon so all of us with this equipment can see AVATAR in real 3D at home!!!

   Looking for some help…
   I’ll update this review once I actually get to the place I need to with this device. Aesthetically it’s brilliant. Movies look amazing, the interface is simple and well done, but I’m having some problems and want to see if anyone out there can help me since I just finished tech support call number 5 in the last 15 hours.

   I just set up my C6900 yesterday. The internet is connected with excellent signal strength, I’ve been able to access youtube, acuweather and the like but today I planned on setting up a netflix account. Upon opening netflix (or blockbuster) I was told that I needed to update before I got into it. Fair enough. When I attempted to upgrade through the menu I received the message “Model information in upgrade file does not match with your player. Please check and retry.” 1/5 times that I try to do this I get the message that I CAN download the update, but once the device restarts itself nothing has changed.

   I was told by the tech support I should try to download the firmware onto either a flashdrive or burn it to a CD (both of which had enough space and were empty apart from the .RUF files for the player). I re-downloaded it five times onto the flashdrive as well as using two different blank CD’s. For the flashdrive I received the message that the update has an error on it and for the CD the device said that it couldn’t load the CD period. The tech support told me that they would send me the update on a disk in 2-3 weeks but I was wondering if anyone had this problem and/or knew how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   A few bugs, but very pretty.
   Pros:

   * Looks awesome; I love the light effects on top; very sleek.
   
   * Loads movies (at least Planet Earth) VERY quickly.
   
   * When I turn it on, my (year+ old) Samsung TV also turns on automatically, and both remotes (from my TV and from the Blu-ray player) work with both devices flawlessly right out of the box.
   
   * Awesome picture (can’t comment on sound or 3D, however).

   Cons:

   * Completely froze at one point while watching Planet Earth–had to turn it off and back on.
   
   * If you leave it paused long enough for the screen saver to come on, the audio will not be in sync when you hit play. This seems to be 100% repro for me.
   
   * It sometimes switches back to “wireless” for its network setting after reboots, even though I keep explicitly setting it to wired.

   Overall:

   I’m glad I got it; will get the 3D TV in a year or so and don’t want to buy another player when I do (this is my first blu-ray player). The audio going out of sync after pausing is frustrating but I hope they’ll fix it with a patch soon.

   Great player, astounding video/audio, internet; very impressed.
   (A tip to other reviewers: Don’t rate an item if you don’t own it. Some of these reviews are from people who haven’t even seen this player!)

   This item arrived quickly, on a Saturday to our surprise, via Fedex. It’s a gorgeous (if you like simple/shiny black) piece of AV equipment. At first, we were dismayed by what we thought were little scratches on the top – it was just a piece of protective plastic on it that is removable; it does have a flawless finish.

   I don’t usually leave reviews even though I buy on Amazon frequently, and I feel a bit guilty giving this rave reviews as I work for a competitor, but they haven’t come out with a similar product yet. We mostly wanted to upgrade the family room/media room for our teens to give them more reason to hang out home with their friends – I must say, that works. They can’t wait to show off another blu-ray to friends (who are self-impressed audiophiles for the most part) who are very impressed. The only problem, is, we want to watch it as much as they do… we never used to watch TV this much. I know this sounds like an ad but really, it’s that amazing.

   The tech stuff:
   
   The ease of setup, connection to the TV and the internet is simple and straightforward. One HDMI cable to TV (included w/TV), done. Plug in Ethernet if you don’t want to use wireless. It’s pure digital output – sound and video. It has a separate Digital audio out for those who were worried about the extra HDMI output. The sound is astonishing. Digital sound, can’t beat it. (We’re using it with a Philips Soundbar now, but the TV itself has great sound). If you don’t have a hi-def TV it might not work as well, but then why buy it anyway? The instruction booklet is good clear English, not written by someone with English as a second-language. The only thing that looks daunting to me is the remote control, but the kids don’t seem to have a problem with it.

   It performs beautifully in video and sound. It uses 1.4 cables (don’t do what we did and buy 1.3 cables, besides the TV comes with cables). It runs on wifi to access the internet, and can download Netflix, Pandora, Youtube, etc., etc., content, and came with coupons for that. The kids like the internet part; we use it much less than they do.

   It works flawlessly with our TV. We own the Samsung UN46C7000 46-Inch 3D HDTV and love it; together it’s a marriage made in Home Theater Heaven. It’s SUPER fast compared to other blu-Rays we have used. This is the first *3D* blu-ray we have used, and comparing it to regular 2-D blu-rays, it blows them all away. It up-converts beautifully and our 2-D blu-ray videos look like a dream on this.

   We have only had it for days so we will write more when we have had more movies under our belts, but: older 3d movies look amazing, regular 2-D (most blu-rays are still) and downloads. All we can say so far is WOW. If you are interested in upgrading to a new 3D TV in the near future, this is a no-brainer to buy,

   Movies we suggest to knock your socks off:
   
   National Geographic 3D movies, Polar Express, Bugs!,the IMAX movies, and the new Micheal Jackson movie. Older teens liked the Bloody Valentine movie. The kids – even my son – reverted to movies like Snow White (the new blu-ray) to my surprise, just because it was so “flipping awesome” to watch on this player.

   WARNING: If you have a hard time pulling yourself away from the TV set (we never used to like we do now) – don’t buy this. You won’t want to leave the room.

   If you’re looking for a top-notch, latest technology Blu-ray player with extras that’s going to work quickly, this is a good buy. I’ve blathered on enough; check it out.

    Great Design…Good Potential…But Too Many Bugs!
    I picked this up a couple of days ago; I don’t have a 3d tv yet, but decided to use it to watch 2d blu-rays until I upgrade to a full 3d tv. The design is quite attractive and very sleek–it has a Bang & Olufsen aesthetic. The picture quality is excellent, however, there were a few bugs, which prompted me to return the item–darn it! When I put in the “Watchmen” blu-ray, the sound does not mesh with the action and/or spoken dialog. I tried it three different times (even turning power off and reinserting disc) with the same result. I tried it in my Panasonic BD player and it worked perfectly. I was so bummed…I really want to love Samsung, but I’ve had 5 (FIVE!) of the blu-ray players and each one had bugs (different models), so I switched to Panasonic and have had no problems. Panasonic is more conservative design-wise, but it is a very solid company-quality control-wise. I just DO NOT understand it. Samsung makes great looking products, but they have poor quality control–5 out of 5 BD players do not lie–it is what it is–hard evidence. If their products were more stable I would be loyal, as I am kind of shallow and like good design. But ultimately, it is the substance of the technology and operating stability that will gain my loyalty. If you buy Samsung, just make sure it is at a place with a return policy! (Trust Me)

    Correction…
    I do not own this player, but I must correct the other review. Yes there are going to be 3D players that will have 2 HDMI outputs, but not one for right and one for left. That was one idea like a year ago, and I believe Panasonic demoed a version like that at one point, but that was before the 3D specs were finalized.

    Some 3D BD players will have 2 HDMI outputs. This is so you don’t have to buy a new receiver with HDMI 1.4. One HDMI goes to the 3D HDTV for picture and one HDMI goes to your old HDMI receiver for audio.

    Just wanted to set the record straight. How someone could honestly believe the first 3D BD player doesn’t actually deliver 3D is beyond me. That would be one heck of a “DOH!”. This player is demoing in Best Buys across the country so don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself.

    The low down on new 3d Blu ray tech
    First off i would like to set the world strait on compatibility. This blu ray player is not compatable with most HD TV’s. Even if your TV says 3d HD ready it might not be. the reason i explain below in “how it works”. if you do not have a samsung hd tv this will not work for you as of now. Misubishi is making an addapter its not out yet but on mistubishi DLP tv’s that say 3d ready this will work for them eventually with the addapter. to find out if your tv is compatable you need to contact Samsung. go to their website and call them. i have been doing this for a month and finally they have people that know about the product now. you need to varify your hd tv will work.

    how it works: and why your tv will or will not work. new 3d uses whats called active shutter technology. the appearance of 3d is made possible by showing your eyes two different pictures at the same time but separated. red and blue lens glasses work because on the screen it will show two different picture one to work with the red and one for the blue the screen would block out the other color giving your eyes viewing different pictures at the same time causing a 3d effect. polarized glasses work by skewing the image in one eye to create a similar effect.

    active shutter takes it too the next step. the active shutter glasses connect to your 3d source wirelessly and work with the bluray player to make you see 3d. they do this but blocking and unblocking your view in your eyes so fast that you can not see it. the bluray player will also send the images preskewed to your tv so when your right eye is blocked it will show you one image and when the left eye is blocked it will show the next image skewed from the first one. it does this so fast that with the glasses on you can not tell. now you ask well if its the glasses working with the bluray player why will this not work on any tv. the reason is your refresh rate. the BD-C6900 requires a 120hz refresh rate. not all tv;’s have that, infact most dont. playing the 3d on a regular tv the frams the bluray is giving out will not be able to all be show properlly and the 3d effect will not work.

    pros and cons: pros. this new tech gives you a full HD 3d picture. you are talking clear then in a movie theater. with out the different colored lenses you will not have crisp clear picture. this new tech should be the standard for tvs in the next three years. it also is right now only a little bit more exspensive then other bluray products. its a lo tech solution for a hightech product there fore soon it should be around the same price as regular blurays.

    cons. the glasses. amazon only sells the third party ones right now but i exspect them to be coming out with the samsung ones soon. on this bestbuy has them right now for $149 a pair. thats right one set of glasses $149 you are talking 300 dollars to see the movie with your significat other. but dont worry because samsung has said that they are going to be coming out with 3d starter kits that should have two pairs and a movie and only cost an arm and a leg. as of right now your movie choices are none. march 21st is when they are going to launch monsters vs aliens with the starter kit. it will probably be 2011 before the movies really start to come out for it.

    in reading this you might think well its just not worth it but i will tell you why it is. right now this player is designed that it still can play 2d blurays. thats right 2d. it is also the fastest loading one of the market right now for 2d. if you need a new blueray player go with this one now and to be ready for the new tech coming. if you tv does not work now think about it. by 2011 could you be on your next tv? chances are unless you just bought one in the past year there is that chance. investing now in this now tech will help keep you above the curve in the future.

    key points:

    - it will not work with all tvs contact samsung to make sure yours will work even if it says 3d ready

    - it will play 2d blurays in 2d, and has fast load times

    - this uses active shutter technology and will require active shutter glasses for everyone viewing. people with out glasses will not be able to view it.

    - limited selection of 3d blurays as of now should be main stream by 2011

    - bluray player does not come with a set of glasses.

    - it will play 2d blurays and dvds on a regular non 3d tv. it will work on old tvs just not be able to play it in 3d.

    overall: i bought this item. i own a DLP samsung that is compatable with this player. i have done alot of reasearch on this tech and hopefully will be able to enjoy this very soon. avatar should be out end of this year in 3d and alice in wonderland should not be far behined.

    ***Update 24 March 2010***
    
    Player works great, the picture is as clear as my last player. load times are normally under 15 seconds way faster then my old one. the guys on here that talk about bugs dont understand electronics. flat out there is an upgrade for the player already. it looks like samsung messed something up but sent out an update to fix it. all they would have to do is go to thier setting and check for an update, download it then everything will be fine. this is why new players have these updates. plain and simple this player is great. once you install it get the upgrade, its free and takes about 10mins to download over DSL. I will get back when i personnally get Monsters Vs Aliens in the mail, i will also write a review on the bundles page after I get it. you want to read a good review look at the amazon verified purchase tag. that means we bought it. I’ll update again soon.

    *** Update 7 April 2010***
    
    the player still works great. i use it almost everyday and have yet to have a problem. the reason that some people are having a problem is because they have not updated the firmware with the player. anymore companies are changing bluray movies so offten to prevent piracy that the players have to be updated often. if you have issues with it make sure you update it first. i have tried most of the movies people have had issues with and have yet to have a problem. one little pet peve of mine though. there is no way to keep finger prints off the top of this player. every time i clean it as soon as its used it looks like a 3 year old finger painted it. ok its not that bad but a finger print proof finish would make this nicer.

    As i suspected the samsung tech’s that i talked too didnt know anything about the products. first off unless you own the two new 3D TV’s the 3d Feature will not work. specificlly the DLP TV’s for samsung. i will explain. the new 3d uses active shutter technology through HDMI 1.4 the DLP’s used a computer interface through a specially designed conection. yes the DLP can run the 3d but the new players do not have a compatable conncetion for the products yet. the reason it will not sync up is because the TV does not have a way to link with the glasses as of now. i was told by bestbuy there will be an idependent addapter that will provide a sensor that can be pulged into the tv for the glasses to sync. it will then also alow the player to project it through a HDMI 1.3. as of now though it does nto work and samsug plans on making one but not yet. if you do not own the two new tv’s this will not work for you right now. i would recommend to either buy theSamsung BD-C6500 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player or buy this one and wait for the adapter. if you but this and it does not work, even if you ask samsung if it will and they tell you it will they are not legally liable for anything they say. i had a rep on the phone for an hour trying to tell me that yes it should work and its probably a problem with my tv before thier second tier tech support told me it would not with out the adapter no one makes. fortunatlly amazon is amazing and helped me out with returning my glasses. i will wait till the adapter comes out before i try this again.

    One HDMI output for 3-D? Short-sighted.
    Given that the big selling point for this player (at least initially) is its 3-D capability, it should be downrated severely for only offering a single HDMI output.

    A 3-D player should have two HDMI outputs; if you’re using two projectors with polarized lenses, you need a left output and a right output. This player can’t deliver that. Bad design.
