Consumers can now enjoy additional studio content such as trailers, director’s comments, more elaborate interactive menus and behind the scene footage.
Customer Review: Installed the latest firmware update and I am impressed.
I have this product since January 2008. Fabulous picture and the HQV chip works wonders. However, I was a little disappointed with the audio performance until now. Just tried it with National Treasure II (Dolby True HD) and was blown away. They obviously have fixed everything. 5 stars now.

Customer Review: Great player that plays nearly EVERYTHING
I’ve had this product for about a month now (I also have the BD-UP5000) and it’s been great. Personally, I like this boxier design than the more round-edge Samsung player, and gotta love the buttons. The bottons do not stick out much and it’s pretty much level with the front plate of the player so it functions almost like touch operated. The blue lights on the buttons are very modern too but it will not turn on while you watch the movie so it won’t be a nuisance. Depending on the format you are watching, either the bluray or HD DVD logo will be on. If you are watching DVD, no logo will be available.
