Thinking about getting a 3D Blu-Ray player full size one for around £100

All working, cheers BB! *clapping*

Nice deal! *good*

Connect 1 HDMI cable from your player to AV receiver, and the other from player to TV. In player's settings, choose audio output for AVR and video output to TV.

Cheers BB, I have got pcm instead of master audio at the moment!  

That's fine as well. You can experiment with setting your Samsung to "bistream" in audio options if you want to see "Master Audio" on your AVR.

Master audio for me. *smile*. My setup is looking good!

No harm experimenting, but I will be surprised if you notice a difference between PCM and Master Audio. Some people say PCM is superior, but I haven't noticed any difference.

Master audio much superior for me at the same volume. The sound on this Samsung is slightly louder than the Panasonic on same volume too. Just like my Pioneer this Samsung.

How you finding 3d? I can't watch it because I get headaches after 5 mins

Passive 3D as in gel's TV is much more comfortable to watch as compared to active 3D.

Perfect, really good. LG's do 3D really well as BB says. Passive all the way. Been watching my Guns N Roses Blu-Ray in 3D and Metallica Through The Never 3D all good and pretty simple to setup thanks to BB and me! *smile*

The Samsung 518500 plasma now £700 in John Lewis Milton Keynes too!

Yes. If your glasses need batteries or charging, they're active. The argument is that active 3D displays full resolution whereas passive halves it. What's the point of full resolution if you're not going to watch it?

This Samsung plays DVDs better than my Pioneer did! It's quite a Blu-Ray player for the money I paid. Loads Blu-Rays a lot quicker too, has 4K upscaling too. Great buy!

My first DVD player was a Samsung 709 back in 1999/2000. It was a great player!

Mine was a Wharfedale DVD player from Tesco for about £125! It was multi region too with a modification code. Loved it too!

*good*. Yep, that's what you did with the Wharfedale, typing in some code. *smile*

The 3D seems to have stopped working! Any ideas? I played it the same way as last time but no luck.

Is it the TV or Blu-Ray player? Cheers.

 

[bigboss]

What do you mean by 3D has stopped working? Does the picture show at all?

 

[Deleted member 2457]

The picture shows but the 3D effects have stopped. No things coming out of the screen and no depth to the picture. Everything is connected correctly. The TV has a 3D test but the ballons are not coming out of the screen. On Blu-Ray you can see put like I said no effects.

If the picture shows, then the blu ray player and HDMI cable are fine. Switch everything off from the mains and on again. Try a different 3D blu ray disc. Check TV settings.

Mine was a Panasonic DVD recorder with hard-drive and VHS. I had to use this to digitise all the stereo radio plays I had on VHS. (I still have a lot of those recordings on iTunes now after de-muxing the DVD copies and importing the files to iTunes in AIFF.)

Looking at it again, and trying with the glasses on and off it seems to be working but it just doesn't seem as good as first time I played it. I think I must just be getting used to it! Cheers BB.
