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.

ah cool. Thanks bro. Sulit pala bili ko..dami kc bluray player available kanina sa it show meron pa nga 99sgd but this model is the only one that has that feature all written in the box kaya binili ko na din agad.

-
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. ;D ;D ;D

lahat kaya ng abenson meron ito?

Saan yang Avant (Abenson) na iyan bro
-
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. ;D ;D ;D

pareho ng 530 sir coaxial ang meron

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

they need to hack it..pwede mo ata request paset up sa kanila para maging region free dvd

just got my bd550 from avant trinoma. Thanks coastal for the headsup. there are like 4 units left. pwede rin pala deferred 3mos. 0% interest. kunin nyo na, super sulit ito.
I used a generic coax and it plays good naman. I tried my "Knowing" BD region A and loads it up at probably about 10-20 seconds. i didn't actually time it. but it took a while for the BD menu to show up.
next would be my 1TB ext. HDD. it played Lord of the rings DTSMA smoothly and best of all, the player passed DTSHDMA through DTS core. My issues with the mkv passthrough is over. I'll be able to play dts hdma mkvs on this player.
-
I got my BD550 last Tuesday. It loads quicker than my CA 650BD, but some BD Live features cannot be viewed because of the lack of dedicated memory.
The unit is quite snappy (among the fastest I've used), and the menu system looks good. The picture is a bit oversaturated for my taste (very strong reds and yellows, green cast on blues and yellowish greens). It could be corrected with some calibration though.
Overall, I'm happy with the low purchase price and the usable feature set. :)

Congrats bro! You need to stick in a flash drive for the BD Live feature, though I've never used it.

Its confirm, the BD550 model here can support hd> 1tb but not for all brand. I manage to use my WD 2tb with no problem.

Ahh, I see. Thanks bro! :) It's my first time to use a "BD-Live Ready" unit pa lang, puros may internal memory mga nagamit ko before. :-[

Hi Guys!
I'm just new here. :D
I purchased this BD player yesterday. It's actually my first time to get into Blu-Ray technology as I have been a DVD patron for the longest time.
I tested it with my Dark Knight BD (bought it from a friend for testing) and the pq is definitely top-notch!
However, my problem is that I'm not satisfied with the audio quality. I have an existing Panasonic DVD/Home Theater system and I use its auxiliary but the sound is less than spectacular. I also noticed that I have to increase the volume level to 20+ as opposed to watching DVD's at 10-11 max level.
Any tips on how to improve the sound quality?
Can I still use my DVD/Home Theater?
Appreciate your inputs! Thanks in advance! :)

HDMI also transmits HD Audio. I think your Panasonic HTIB cannot do justice to the sound capabilities of your Bluray player since it has no "HDMI In" connection.

Coax or optical output of your BD player to your HTIB input could also improve the sound quality instead of using the AUX.

I see. So it's either I get myself a coax or just use the optical output and plug it directly to the HTIB?
Thanks for the tip bro! :)
-
use only coax bro. there's no optical connection on a BD550.

i switched batteries pero ganun pa rin. i also though na baka yung IR reciever ng BDp. but the remote won't work with my LG tv as well (may tv control kasi yung BD550 na remote). so ayun, i have to twist the damn thing and press it longer for it to accept any command. on a side note, i have to say na ito lang yung ayaw ko sa BD player na to, very flimsy and cheaply made yung remote >:(

nakuhh nasan na yung resibo ko from Abenson... mahanap nga mamaya. ang gaan nga nya eh, and to think 1 battery lang kelangan para magka-power sya.
what actually happened bro?hindi ba nabagsak yung remote? or naupuan?

dun nga ako nagtataka, di ko siya masyado ginagamit except for watching MKV on my HD pero bigla na lang ganun, dead and gone. maingat ako sa remotes ko at hindi sila nababagsak o nadadaganan
-
sir, baka yung contacts sa battery lumuwag. Have a few remotes with that kind of problem before. Twist the battery and sometimes put some padding para mag higpit. Hope this will help. :)

mga chiefs nakakapag play b tong player na to ng mkv na 21GB like avatar?
-
How can you hack to make it DVD region free? TIA
-
Sale pa ba to ?
-
Abenson is having another sale of LG BD550. This time its only for P4,995.00 cash/straight charge. But when I checked today at Abenson SM North EDSA they have no available stock. Tsk tsk tsk!
-
Does this unit play video cds? ??? I checked this unit's web page and even its manual. No specification that it supports video cd.
-
I think bluray player manufacturers have already omitted the vcd from the media list for their products. I tried to play a vcd once with a Sony BDP-360 and it didn't recognize the disc. But regular dvd players still do.
-
Just got one at Avant Trinoma. Still at 4995.00

Mga bro, alam nyo ba kung pwede dito external Hard drive?

I used to do this but I had a couple of MKV's that couldn't be read by the LG BD550. I got a Mede8er 500X instead and no more problems after that.

i do have an egreat s100 as primary media player. But somehow, after my last update late last year, the BD550 can now play all my available files without hanging/freeze up. so as not to wear out the egreat, I sometimes use this bdplayer to play my files. til' now it really plays all my 4tb worth of mkvs flawlessly. really satisfied with this bdplayer.
