I have the bd p1600 and i was on netflix when a firmware upgrade screen popped up and i accepted but then my player froze. now i can turn it on and off and i can open and close the tray but the player stays on load can play anything

Here is a video instruction on how to hook up the P1600 model to Net Flix.

A firmware update may be required to get NetFlix on the P1500 model.

Otherwise, I have seen little information on the P1500 supporting NetFlix.
Please give feedback for this answer, thanks.

1. Unplug the player from the wall

2. Press and hold the power button on the player for 10 sec.

3. Plug the player back into the wall

See if this works for you. If not they have live chat support at the samsung website. They will walk you through downgrading your firmware.

Don't upgrade the firmware on your Samsung BD-P1600. The firmware from Samsung is faulty and will most likely crashh your machine, Permanently !!!. I made that mistake last night. Now I have no Video output to my T.V. from any of the video outputs on the blu-ray player. Also the unit turns on but will only display LOAD , OPEN, CLOSE, ON, OFF... Nothing Works now.. This is apparently a common issue and there are several forums discussing this problem.. No fix that I have found !!

I think...not sure...that you can go back to the menu and attempt to rollback to to your previous firmware version.

1. Connect your device to the internet
2. Find and start Netflix on your device
3. Netflix will provide the activation code on your device
4. Go to Netflix and enter the code at the "instantly to your tv" tab.

Hi,

9.USB HOST:A USB memory flash stick can be connected here and used as storage when connected
to BD-LIVE. It can also be used for firmware upgrades and MP3/JPEG playback.
Thanx

Your not alone. I went into the menu system manually to setup clock and language and other options. I had to download and install the upgraded firmware available from the website, and then to disable the anytime+ samsung feature...then suddenly after hours, and after the samsung help line told me to return the unit, it worked.
good luck

I have had this problem a few times myself with clients players. A power down usually helps but only temporarily.
Check your firmware version and available product upgrade here: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/tv-video/blu-ray/blu-ray-players/BD-P1600/XAA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

I assume you have a wireless or Ethernet connection for your BDP1600? It may not be working and the first thing your player needs to do is get a firmware update and this won't happen if you do not have an Internet connection. If you do have an Internet connection, look to see if there is some sort of "software update" button somewhere within the tv-based menu system.
