I love it unreservedly. I disagree with the reviewer who had trouble playing a disc. This unit works just like my 2008 Samsung Blu Ray Disc Player: open disc tray, insert disc, close tray, fast forward through Previews or let the Previews play automatically, when you get to the screen for the movie, hit play and it plays. No problems there. My primary reason to replace my 2008 unit was to take advantage of the Samsung "Smart Hub", for easy access to apps, because my old player only got Netflix, and was no longer supported for YouTube or Pandora. The bonus in upgrading was: SHARP: the BDJ7500 looks at least twice as sharp as my 2008 Samsung BDP3600 1080p Blu Ray for both ordinary discs and for Netflix. I have not tried a Blu Ray disc yet. FAST NETFLIX: Netflix works much more smoothly on the BDJ7500. WAY faster access and operation, plus sharpness that looks at least double. APP: Lots of them. More than anybody would ever need. I paired this with my 2008 Plasma SamsungTV series 6/650 50", model PN50 B650 S-1FXZA. I bought it to replace my still-working and much loved Samsung BD-P3600 1080p Blu Ray. I feel as though I have a brand new TV, because the sharpness is so enhanced when playing ordinary DVDs and Netflix. I look forward to exploring other options for entertainment, particularly YouTube and Amazon. EASY SETUP: I am not a technogeek. I am a 64 year old woman. As soon as my BDJ7500 arrived, I opened the box, put the batteries in the remote, pulled the TV from the wall, unplugged the HDMI from my old Samsung and plugged it in the identical port on the new, then I unplugged the Ethernet from the old unit and plugged in the ethernet in the new. Plugged in the power, and it turned the TV on for me with easy instructions on getting started. Time elapsed: 10-15 minutes, and the hardest part was getting down on my hands and knees to access the bottom shelf of the cart that holds my Disc Player. There are some optional audio setups which may take a few minutes longer, but I get my sound through my TV and so it was super simple.
