Samsung C550 1080P DVD Player - multi-region conversion  Sent: 13 August 2010
The first unit purchased would only play CDs so I returned it to Amazon and the replacement arrived very promptly.
I am very pleased with the picture quality on a HD TV using the HDMI connection. It is a big improvement in all respects on my Pioneer using RGB. The upscaling produces near Blu-ray quality from good DVD recordings.
The USB input produces excellent pictures from JPEG images from a flash drive or my USB hard drive (1TB Freecom) but will not play MVI clips. It also cannot read files from my Canon IXUS camera directly.
I have converted it to multi-region without any trouble thanks to this information I obtained on the web.
1. Turn player on with without disc in tray.
2. Wait until "no disc" appears on TV screen
3. Press "repeat" (not "repeat A-B"!) on remote.
4. Press in sequence the following keys:
(For Region 2 players only): FF, FR, FF, UP, DOWN
Number "0" must appear in upper left corner of TV screen,
that means that sequence was successful and player is now
region free.
If it does not appear repeat from beginning.
After successful sequence turn player off and on again to check.

recived the dvd in good time as always with Amazon, well so far anyway, does what it said on the box good picture better than my sony player in other room and that cost a lot more. only problem so far is not been able to multi region it, not a lot on the net for this model, so if you need a multi region set, try one of the special sites that do this, if not i recomend getting this one for it goes.
Good, but the description is misleading. Sent: 17 June 2010
Bought this DVD player on a recommendation from a friend and also because I was looking to buy a Samsung TV to go with it. Ended up getting a LG, but decided to stick with the player as it seemed like a good deal. Ordered a HDMI cable to go with it on the 'combined packages' recommendation of Amazon and the fact that in the technical section and the product description it said that the machine had HDMI output.
Once I received the player and set about plugging it in, I found that this was not the case. There is no HDMI socket or output capablitiy and if you don't already have a scart lead you'll need to get one to play it. I only spent 99p on the HDMI cable, so I'm not feeling robbed, but the description of the product is misleading and I generally trust that Amazon will get it right.
Having said that the picture quality is very good and I can live with turning up the volume in order to hear the DVD. It's a sleek looking machine and is lightweight, though it has the smallest remote I've ever seen - the stop button is also the pause button. However you can get a cheaper DVD player from Amazon that does have HDMI output, which just makes for a tidier appliances stand.
