not perfect, but successful players

When unpacking, I am also first shocked, because I thought the machine was scratched, until I realized it is merely a not at first glance to be recognized film.

Positves:

Stopped 1. Start time from standby in approximately 13 seconds

2. plays lots of formats mkv, mp4, avi, flv, divx, xvid, wmv, mp3 CDs, but he does not play VCD or SVCD for the nostalgic among us

3. Recognizes NTFS, my old player could only read FAT 32 formatting

4. So far I have (not !! through USB Y-cable power supply) connect easily a 1TB hard drive

5. Firmware update possible via USB, other players can sometimes only with self-burned CD or via Internet

6. The player is whisper quiet, the start-up of the player or reading disc is not acknowledged with a disturbing noise

7. While the remote control is not great, but adequate with plenty of large buttons. The main buttons (Play, Pause, fast forward, chapter skip) are illuminated

8. small dimensions only 40mm high

9. Despite the plastic casing does not look cheap, because it was well made. Because nothing is over or is wrong, gaps are also OK

10. Sound 5/5 is top, the image could be better 4/5

11 analog 7.1 output

Negatives:

1. The player is definitely easy when you plug of USB sticks on the front USB he moves and sucks

2.Laut manual can be prepared by entering a code, use the remote control of the player and television. This also works. Unfortunately, the BD player responds by pressing the pause button on the subsequent pressing the PLAY button extremely sluggish because the FB simultaneously tries to control the TV. According to the manual removal of the batteries from the FB should remove the code. Unfortunately, this does not. So best not enter a code.

3. Problems to date with BD / DVDs, eg even in very old DVD "Jaws 30th Anniversary" he has hung in the menu, the BD "Smokin Aces 2" does not work

4. Samsung.de Support: If you want to currently (Jan 2011) regarding BD player send an email to Samsung.de product support problems, so the C6900 does not appear in the list. At whiners: For me to be a good product definitely also good Support.

5. at least with avi, mkv etc. the fast forward is definitely too slow

6. Enter the time: If you want to jump in a mkv at a time in the film, for example Hour 1 25 minutes and 35 seconds you have to enter cumbersome 012 535 and press the Enter key. With my old player is allowed at least more convenient via the directional pad, the hours, minutes, seconds to enter.

7. No enclosed HDMI cable included. And please let nobody find fault in the comment: "The enclosed cable are anyway cheap trash I'll get better one of Oe ... oh etc.."
There basta in digital only 0 or 1. The rest is to bring a fairy tale of the industry to diamond-studded, gold-plated Hypersuperduper cable for a lot of money to the customer.

8. The power cord is firmly on the player, I have seen so for the first time in DVD / BD players. You can not deduct and so separately thread through cutouts in the rear of the TV cabinet and then put the player into the cable. With little room in the cabinet may be a problem.

9. The disc removal is getting used to for me. At Samsung, the disc is not on two sides of the charge box for gripping. There is a recess for the thumb in the dish and you have to insert the index finger in the center of the disc to remove the disc, at least without fingerprints.

The Youtube, Internet function, etc. I only say: Who needs it.

Conclusion: can read Especially the fact that the player NTFS, is quietly and plays a lot of video file formats are for me a good reason to buy (from 3D aside times).
The price is just about acceptable.

Edit: to point 5 of the negative list I've found that can be made with the left / right directional pad buttons FB time jumps from 30 seconds. If you press eg the right button several times in rapid succession, the jump increases at least 15 minutes. Also a kind of his desired timecode at least for A / V files like avi, divx, etc fast and convenient to get closer.
