 Great player, astounding video/audio, internet; very impressed. March 20, 2010

(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.
Excellent 3D Blu-ray player April 24, 2010

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.
Blu Ray with Internet ability to download movies May 22, 2010

This unit is 3D ready. Hence it will allow one to rent 3D movies and with a 3D TV enjoy today what otherwise would only be viewable in the movies. I also really like that if you have high speed internet you can rent movies via the Internet and play them. So no more going to the store to find a bare shelf. This model also has various applications that are also provided via the Internet (News, Weather, Games, TV Guide, with more I am sure to be added). The picture and sound quality is fine. One thing I learned in reviewing the Samsung product line of Internet ready Blu Ray players is not all come with the USB Network Adapter. If you pick some models you will have to purchase an additional $79 external USB Adapter. However, this model already has a build in internal adapter provided. The unit I feel is worth the extra money paid.
Sazmsung BD-C6900 Blu-Ray Player Highly Recommended August 12, 2010

I unboxed the blu-ray player and installed it using 5 of the 7 audio analog outputs, since I don't have an HDMI compatible AVR, and I don't have any 7.1 blu-ray discs; they are all 5.1. Setup was free of all mystery. I used the Wi-Fi connection, following the setup instructions, and it worked perfectly, connecting to my Cisco/LinkSys wireless router. It then wanted to upgrade the operating system via the Wi-Fi, which I let it do. It was fast and worked flawlessly, giving appropriate visual feedback as the upgrade progressed. The default setups seemed to be the most logical, and exactly what I needed. As the setup guide recommended, I turned the light show on top to Auto, so it's turned off while a movie is playing.
Then I went to the various services, Hulu, etc., and it wanted to update all of those apps, in turn, and I let it do that, too. Everything worked flawlessly over the Wi-Fi connection.
The first Blu-Ray disk we watched was Avatar. The sound was extraordinary as was the video. I also have an HD-DVD player, and my recollection is that this disk was even sharper on my old Sony 57" CRT-based RPTV than I remember from my HD-DVD disks, although I didn't do an A-B comparison, since I don't have Avatar in HD-DVD. I didn't think the picture could look as good as it did. I seem to have more life left in my old Sony. Of course, I reconverged the TV before playing the movie.
We watched several Blu-Ray movies since, and I'm still super-impressed. My subwoofer is a JL Audio Fathom f113, and it's a veritable beast, with incredible clarity, speed and sub-terranean depth. I also use a Butt-Kicker attached to my couch that is connected in parallel with the sub-woofer, set for audio below 40Hz. If you've never experienced that, you're missing something amazing!
In short, I don't see how anyone can go wrong with the C6900, especially at the price at which Amazon is selling it. And, that's without trying the 3-D capability, since I'm lucky my TV is still 2-D.
AWESOME!!! Samsung BD-C6900 vs. Samsung BD-C7900 August 19, 2010

I upgraded from the Samsung 6900...which was exactly the same as the 7900 except the 7900 has two HDMI outputs...1 HDMI (video/audio) and 1 HDMI (audio). The 6900 does have 7.1 analog outputs that way the blu-ray player does the decoding for all the HD audio formats...but since my Onkyo receiver also decodes HD audio I wanted to have the settings at BITSTREAM (AUDIOPHILE). My receiver is 1.3 HDMI compatible but not 1.4 HDMI (3D ready) so I send HDMI (video/audio) to my 3D tv and the other HDMI (audio) to my receiver...the sound is INCREDIBLE. I love all the wireless features this blu-ray player has...netflix, pandora, blockbuster, and many more. Very easy to set up and use. I highly recommend both the Samsung 6900 and even more so the 7900 because of the two HDMI outputs. I have had NO problems at all with either blu-ray player...no heat issues. I would rate 4 stars for the features because the 6900 doesn't have the extra HDMI output...every blu-ray player should have two. The 3D experience is AMAZING everyone who comes over is blown away by it and wants to come back when the next 3D blu-ray movie comes out...I don't really notice crosstalk (ghosting) and it's not a problem for me nor anyone else that has watched it at my house...I even think 3D on my Samsung UN46C8000 HDTV is better than in the theaters. No matter which Samsung blu-ray player you pick the 6900 or the 7900 the choice depends on your needs because both have SUPERB picture quality and audio...PERFECTION!!!
