OK, I rarely write reviews. This player spec and Samsung in general is great. However, I went for certified refurbished and trusted that to get one quickly on May 2nd. It arrived as promised, and I hoked it up to the new 4K TV. It links to Samsung TV fine, has the network, menus and smart features, just as expected (and are on our other two BlueRay players). Unfortunately, it will not read a BlueRay Disk. After several attempts to play a blue ray movie on it, I switched to the DVD disk, and it worked fine. Later I tried the BR disk again, and it finally loaded - and worked for the five minutes i checked it. I thought it maybe had smudged surface i had finally got clean. I then left on an extended trip. Now, on July 2nd, back at home, I wanted to watch a movie. No joy. I have gone thru five different BlueRay Disks, it tries to load, gives me the proper screen on the TV, and finally ejects the disk saying invalid media and says to clean the disk or it is the wrong format. The disks are all amazon from Disney. They all play on the other Samsung players. It does do a great job with DVDs. I recommend you do not buy anything refurbished. In my case, I saved only a few dollars, have a nice DVD player, and I am past my 30 day return window. I will have to find the documentation and see what to do about the 90 day warranty, and how much it will cost me to get a working BlueRay player out of my $80+ transaction.
