How do I connect to Netflix/Youtube/Pandora on my Blu Ray player?

Amburrrrr

I just got an LG blu ray player...the LG BDP620 and it says that it is pandora/Netflix/Youtube/Huluplus compatible but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it! I've gone to the LG Apps center and when I search, they don't come up. Any tips??

Answer
First you have to get the BluRay player connected to your home network. Run a Cat6 network cable from your router to the player or if the player has wireless, use it.

Sometimes you have to buy the optional 'dongle' to get a player to become wireless.

If yours is like this - do NOT buy the wireless dongle. It will run you about $80-$90.

Instead - go to BestBuy and purchase a Western Digital TV Live box for $99. Get a inexpensive HDMI cable (like the Media Bridge brand for $9-$20 from Amazon) to hook it up to your TV.

This little box gives you about 30 different apps and does not cost much more than the wireless dongle which might give you ... 8 apps? It is a much better device, gives you more apps, gets updated more frequently and lets you play computer video files from a USB flash drive.

Trust me - I did the $90 dongle for my Bluray player and it works, but the WD box works much better.

Hope this helps.

How can I get Netflix on my Samsung Blu Ray Player ?

I have a Samsung BD-P 1590, and I updated to the latest firmware but all I have is YouTube, if anyone knows how to get Netflix please let me know.

Answer
Netflix should be built in to your player. When the unit is "Stop Mode" press the Green(B) button on your remote. This should bring up the Netflix initialization interface. If this does not work you will need to contact customer support.

Do I have to get the same Blu Ray player as the TV?

Skylar J

I was shopping around for a very good 3D Blu Ray Player that i can us with the 3D TV I'm about to get. However I was reading the reviews of the Samsung 3D Blu Ray Player D7500. And allot of the reveiws are saying it doesn't play Blu rays or DVD's and Samsung didn't know what was wrong with it. So I was wondering if it mattered or not if I went Sony or whichever? Reason I ask is because I noticed that what ever TV people have they have the same brand Blu Ray. So could any of you help? I was hoping to buy a Blu Ray player that could make 2D look 3D.

Answer
Any Blu Ray DVD will work.. By the way, I have seen a lot of 'bad' Sony players. I use an LG, and it makes regular DVD's look better, as well as HDTV DVD's, and CD's for music.. HDTV DVD's will play in 1080p, which looks the best.. All TV stations broadcast in 1080i or 720p if they have multi-channels.

Is the New Samsung Blu Ray Player 3D compatible to a Mitsubishi 3D Ready TV?

CESAR G

Hello,
Is the Samsung BD-C6900 able to connect to a Mitsubishi WD-82737 3d
ready? I have read a few reviews from previous buyers on amazon.com
regarding these two products for some reason they do not respond correctly. Please advise if this is
compatible...or even true I tried calling Samsung but they said they no issues have been reported...

Answer
Edit: I have reviewed the manual for the 82737, and it is as I thought.

>> "To display 3D images, Mitsubishi Home Theater DLP TVs require that source devices support checkerboard display formats for 3D gaming or 3D cinema content. A 3D standard format does not currently exist for Blu-ray or DVD prepackaged media. Future 3D standards may be incompatible with Mitsubishi Home Theater DLP TVs. Please visit mitsubishi-tv.com for updates and information."

Basically the TV was made before the BDA 3D standard, so unless the 3D video output is in the old DLP checkerboard format, it will not be compatible.

The issue here is that the WD-82737 TV is not actually "3D Ready".

What do I mean by this?
This TV was designed and manufactured before there was a well defined 3D standard, it was called "3D Ready" because it was capable of displaying 3D content and used the 3D video format that was commonly accepted at the time.

While the TV was designed to display 3D content, the format for the 3D video it was designed for is completely different to the video format that the Blu-Ray Disc Association has designed for new 3D compatible TVs, Blu-Ray disc players and other hardware.

So to get to the point here... this TV is not at all designed to work with the new 3D standard, so it is effectively not 3D Ready.

I have heard from unconfirmed sources that Mitsubishi might be developing an adapter of sorts that will connect between the Blu-Ray player and the TV to convert the 3D video format to one which the TV can interpret and display, but I don't know if this is really the case.

It's also possible the Blu-Ray player has an additional option to output 3D video in a format which the Mitsubishi TV can understand, but I have no idea if it does or not and that would be outside the scope of the Blu-Ray Disc association specification requirements for manufacturers (i.e. it would be entirely optional and up to the manufacturer).
