i recently updated the software (i know, if it ain't broke don't fix it!), the problem is that it's not detecting my ntfs formatted hdd. it is able to play off my 500gb fat32 without any problems. i haven't tried any other ntfs formatted hdd. and i can't see any option to revert to the factory firmware even if i reset the player to factory settings. can anyone help me with this?

I updated mine sometime in January but everything worked as normal after. Sorry to hear about your problem.

May digital optical output ba ang BD550? Parang gusto ko kasi kumuha nito to replace my ps3 as the main BD/DVD player.

Just got an LG BD 550 from an it show here in SG. cost around 169sgd plus me free 3 blu ray discs...Haven't tried it pero hopefully gumana yung 1tb na hd na binili ko..Blu ray is region A only pero yung dvd playback can be hacked to play all region.do you guys recommend updating the software agad?

The software update is mostly for Bluray playback compatibility. Test it out first before updating.

Yes it plays MKV files, I had it hooked up to my 1 TB hard drive before but I still opted to get a media player with an internal hard drive.

Avant (Abenson) is having a sale of LG BD550 at P5,495.00 until May 2, 2011.Just got myself 2 units. This is so much better than buying a CD-R King unit.

Mura nga Sis Philip! Nagulat nga ko e! Got the 2 units for my daughter and 1 as standby in case bumigay na yung mga units na na-purchase ko sa iyo. Bugbog na rin e but still enjoying the Sony BD-s570 which I like because of its built-in wifi and the Toshiba BDX-2500 which is the best bd reader kahit mabagal magload.

Saan yang Avant (Abenson) na iyan bro

coastal · « **Reply #22 on:** May 01, 2011 at 06:15 AM »

Avant in Trinoma. But since Avant is owned by Abenson baka meron din sa Abenson branches, however their promo flyer indicates only Avant Trinoma, Greenbelt 4 and Alabang Town Center . Tingnan ko mamaya sa Abenson Circle-C branxh in Congressional Ave. This is the mobile number of Avant-Trinoma 09189143470, look for Egay.

Just bought one yesterday May 2. Better get one because it can be your second media player. It plays NTFS. They say they will sell at promo price for all the units left. Eight units still available.

redram · « **Reply #29 on:** May 03, 2011 at 05:54 PM »

Can it play DVD for all region (r1, r2, r3, etc) out of the box? Or is there any hack availablefor this?
