Product Reviews
Works quite well
Purchased the BD-F5100 6 months ago and have been very pleased with its multi region capabilities as well as a DVD/Blu ray player. This unit is mated to a Samsung LED HDTV. Unfortunately, the reviews of different Samsung players have been combined into the thread of this unit and may have caused some confusion about its multi region capabilities.Therefore to clarify, for DVDs this unit automatically detects the region (0-9) and then plays the disk. However, for Blu ray disks, one has to manually change the region (A, B or C) first; otherwise, the player defaults to the factory setting, which for USA is Region A. The user manual from Samsung does NOT address how to manually change the Blu ray region.However, enclosed in my purchase was an instructions sheet from 220-electronics.com with the following directions (abridged version follows):1) Turn player off using remote - wait until player is fully off before proceeding. Make sure Quickstart is turned OFF as region switching will not work2) Press button on remote to select (blu ray) region:Region A: press button 1 on the remote controlRegion B: press button 2Region C: press button 3The player will automatically turn on and boot up in the region corresponding to the number you entered.This reviewer has viewed DVDs from multiple regions and Blu ray disks from Regions A & B without trouble and hopes others find this information of use.
OK for a while…now problems are starting
It did what it supposed to for the first month or so, and now its starting not to recognize the zone/region. Its supposed to change zones/region automatically, which it did at first, and now it stopped doing that. and last night it started not recognizing Blu Ray discs. Not happy that this expensive DVD player is starting to go wrong. In fact of the three Samsung products we own, none of them have been trouble free and we would think twice about buying another Samsung product.
Nice, but remote control dependent
A very nice player, but the on box controls are very limited and hard to get to/use when you place it on shelving… The controls are on the top of the box and that makes them difficult to see and access…. But the output, speed and overall capability of the unit is 5 star
Everything I wanted at a fair price.
Wrong picture but the curved face unit i got will let me stack nvidia shield on top so better.The code is vary easy, and works great.Playing dvds of any region without any codes or tweaks at all.Playing blu-rays of other regions press 2 or 3 on the remote and play.Region 1 is the default in us so no code needed.Sold build, good size, cool operation, simple front controls 2 buttons open and power.The remote is feature rich, and my tv is a 60 inch Samsung so total integration.Lan/wifi input seamless updates.My tv cost less because it is not a smart tv but with this player it is not needed.
I am very happy with tho product
When I received this product i did not realize that the Blu-Ray zones had to be changed manually and thought the product just did not work. For those of you who did not notice this either, this product is in fact region free, however it must be manually changed between regions A/B/C, the instructions are included in the packaging of the Blu-Ray and are actually quite simple. I am very happy with tho product.
Definitely worth it!
I’m really pleased with this blu-ray player I have owned it for almost a year now and it has worked beautifully. The apps work fine, Wi-fi connection is fine and it has played blu-rays and DVDs from USA and UK. The only issue I have had with it is that for whatever reason it will not play my Hannibal (TV) blu-ray discs and it shows that it isn’t the right region which is odd because its never happened before and they are region 1 discs. It might just be an issue unique to lions gate DVDs and it has not been an issue with any other disc i’ve played so I do not fault this blu-ray player for that issue.I would really recommend this if you are looking for a region free blu-ray player!
Horrible worthless piece of offal
Wish I had bought something else. Like some of the other reviewers, I have had nothing but problems with this unit. It got replaced with a $50 kmart special and has been quickly outshined. Player glitches several times a day and shuts itself off, will not recognize my standard blurays and does the same to my other region dvds. In short, this unit is a pile of junk and I am a dissatisfied customer.
Plug and Play Baby!!!!!
I unpacked my DVD player and tossed the instructions to the side. Plugged it to the wall and plugged the HDMI to my television, inserted my batteries to the remote, popped in my DVDs from Spain, Poland, Australia, France and the UK and they all played woooohooooo. I bought this model because all the reviews said it worked. It does work!!!!! Worth every penny I paid because now I get to view my foreign DVDs.

Does the job for a low cost
malfunction
Shouldn’t have purchased this item , after one week of use the player doesn’t function properly. This blu ray player that played an all region disc.
Nice and small
This system has acted as promised. It handled Area 2 BD discs with no complaints as well as the customary discs and wifi connected hard drives.
The player worked fine for 3 or 4 months
The player worked fine for 3 or 4 months. Then it started to freeze up. And the only thing that would get it to go was to pull the plug for a bit and then plug it back in.

comments powered by DisqusThe player doesn’t play all regions as required. I tried a Region A and it doesn’t work. Also the BD- Wise option in settings is greyed out and can’t be used.
