BD-P1600 will play DVD-R with no problems up untill the last chapter of a movie then the picture freezes up and wont finish playing. is there a solution? Updated firmware about 3 weeks ago.

If it plays other Blue Ray discs OK then either the disc is faulty or it is the wrong region. If it previously played, then my bet is that the disc has a scratch or dirt on it. If you have another blue-ray player or you have a friend with one try it on that or theirs.

It's not your player, it's the movie. Mine is doing the same thing.

The problem is in the laser pickup assembly, usually you will find that it will play the standard dvd movies without a hitch, but! blue ray movies require a higher velocity and more precision in the tracking to offer the much improved picture quality. When this happens the only option is to replace the assembly or go the cheaper route by replacing the entire player.

Hi,

On fornt of the player you have the buttons for opreation.You can use these buttons to operate your DVD player with out remote.

I have attached a image for your BD-P1600 player so your reference


1.DISC TRAY :Opens to accept a disc.
2.DISPLAY :Displays the playing status, time, etc.
3.Remote Control Sensor :Detects signals from the remote control.
4.OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON :Opens and closes the disc tray.
5.SEARCH/SKIP BUTTONS :Goes to the next title/chapter/track or goes back to the previous title/chapter/track.
6.STOP BUTTON :Stops disc playback.
7.PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON: Plays a disc or pauses playback.
8.POWER BUTTON :Turns the Blu-ray Disc Player on and off.
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

I have a Samsung BD-P1600 and was having similiar problem...played thru previews but would not play. Instead of just powering off/on... I pulled the plug on the ac cord out and left it out about 20 minutes and it now works !

My advice is to contact the company that makes the unit and ask them if it requires an upgrade. Let me know what they say so i may advise further. Thanks.

Is your software up to date. If player has old software and you try playing some newer Blurays, it wont play.

i had this problem with mine, found fingerprints on discs, just cleaned the discs and no problem after that.

Did you try a different DVD? if not try that, the problems could be attributed to that specific DVD.

because
