does this player has aptx codecs? or it is just average bluetooh?

I bougt 2 three of these players over 3 years and none of them lasted longer than a year. I wrote to the company to have repairs done but they responded they could and would not. This 3 years ago and \I have not bought any more since.

Have you tested the digital (S/PDIF) IN and OUT on linux as well? On Ubuntu 11.04, the analog connections seem to work great, but I'm not seeing an option for digital in Sound Preferences. Wondering if upgrading to a distro in the 3.x kernel series would help.

NO, it is very basic player. To tell you the truth if i did not get it for free with my tv i would not buy it.

I own the Samsung BD- C5500 and it does support Divx files,Xvid, H.264 BP/MP/HP. Excellent player for the money along with easy set-up.

Yes it has APT-X source coding, but you won't get that better sound if the other device you're streaming from does not support APT-X. You'll just get regular SBC, which is compressed audio much like mp3. This device is good for personal use, it sounds awesome, can't tell the difference between CD quality and range is about 10 ft.

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

No, almost no media players could fully support BD menu. HD680 can well support BD ISO or BDMV. It can play the movie, but no menu.

It plays DIVX, AVI, ISO's and all old platform HD Discs I have tried. Although I'm not sure which codec/platform you are specifically asking about. For the money, it is a good deal...I bought one and immediately bought a second for my other room. It plays MKV's also but only works through the USB port for those.

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

I own the same player but I bought in Australia. It works fine with Blue-ray Region B and with some Region A discs (I'm not sure why?), but this is not a region free player.

As is stated above, the HD version adds support for the aptX standard that greatly increases the sound quality on the Bluetooth transmission/reception side and also allows you to use an external device's DAC via the SPDIF connectors. Since the average receiver has a better DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), the combination of later BT Audio quality (aptX that does not compress the audio like earlier standards) and the option for "off board" DAC use makes for a very solid sound quality as long as the player is new enough to support the BT 4.0 or later standards (3.0 may work as well but I haven't bothered to check). Older devices will play music but still suffer compressed audio quality and this will not magically make poor bit rate files sound better. As for the DAC on the HD, it's probably better than the original version as well but the big advantage here is the ability to just use it as a more or less transparent receiver of clean audio over a wireless connection; this alone is a big step. I can say that listening to high quality rips over my Pioneer Elite AVR connected via SPDIF over my extra DCM Timeframes has really impressed me. The HD is capable of passing through very good quality sound and that makes a great deal at the available price. Audiophile thumbs up.

What player do you use it with, and do you notice improved picture, sound, or added functionality?

It has Amazon VOD. The player didn't originally have it, which might be why the specs don't mention it. But, don't worry. The latest software update for the player includes it.

It plays both blue ray and regular DVDs. It does not play HD. Overall it has been an excellent player. However, do not upload the software upgrades. The player won't work after. Though lg did fix it for us since it was known issue.
