I really want a R/Z free player, so will probably try another model - maybe the Sony, or maybe even the same one but from a different seller.

My previous region free player (LG) was sometimes a litlle slow resulting in jerky images

Also, unlike another Samsung non-region free player, this one does not include Amazon access.

I am yet to know if it is safe to upgrade the firmware which should not anyway affect the region free functionality

On mailing, the seller immediately responded back with the clarification that the firmware update will no way harm the region free functionality and also provided links to download the firmware

These machines are top of the line, and are a quality buy, especially at the price at which they are being offered.

I highly recommend this machine and if you are lucky enough to find it on sale (mine was), then I would definitely consider this machine as your choice

The conversion instructions were written for this Samsung 5900 as well as the Panasonic, LG, Sony and Yamaha machines (they probably all are closely related in design and use the same multi-region converter systems).

Great machine like foreign made films and this does a great job .

Had it since feb 16th today is may 13 and it already stopped reading not just foreigh discs but region a discs as well this is the 2nd time ive wssted nearly 300 forget it

so did a factory reset and went through the setting again to cure the problem , rebooted the play loaded the disc again and it played giving excellent results with every feature tested ,also it gained access to the PC and played all videos selected stored in a video folder the results were first class , yes it played discs from the UK , Aust , the USA auto without the need to select the region , with stunning results , this Samsung BD-J5900 player can be highly recommended as a all region media device .

I turned the player on manually, to clear a disc out and when I hit the power button on the player, my Sony STR-550 receiver turned on.

This device is superb and does everything promised

This device works as advertised

This is an issue with Samsung players regardless of whether they are region-free models.

Oddly, my Samsung blu-ray player that ISN'T region-free (model 5700

I recommend this model

I have been watching blu-ray discs with great picture and no problems.

Works great and a nice physical size

There was no option I could find that might, sort of, "switch on" its Region/Zone free capabilities

I specifically purchased this because of the region-free capability.

Overall this BD/DVD player is pretty good and does play my Region 2 and Region B discs as well as Region 1/A discs without issue

Works very well for me , Thanks!

It worked as it is intended to

a region free Blu-Ray, because I watch a lot of UK programming...now I can order DVD's and Blu-Ray's directly from Amazon UK

I wish there was a region-free version of the smart 3d Blu-ray player

A Brilliant product that does everything you need it to do- right out of the box!

It's just a crappy Samsung product).1

The item is a joke...quality-control seems to be out the window (which is a shame because when working, it's a really great product).

Three reviewers got the right product, so I decided to purchase it.

Great dvd player for all devs including international dvds

Basic operations are slower than what I'm used to on a cheap 10 year old DVD player
