I recently purchased a Samsung BD-P1500. I tried connected it to my TV (sony KP-53HS10) which is about 10 years old. The connection is via component cables as the set has no HDMI inputs. I am only getting “snow” and some occasional horizontal lines on the screen.
The unit does function properly when hooked to another TV in my home that has HDMI inputs.
Any one have any helpful ideas? Thanks.

I just went back and read all the comments and it looks as though there isn’t a solution for this problem of the gateway ping. Maybe it is not too late to take the Samsung back and purchase a diffent blu ray that will actually work as advertised.

We received the blu ray player as a gift for Christmas. We also have netflix, so I was connecting laptop to tv to watch movies. We finally purchased the wireless lan adapter yesterday, but cannot get it to work. We are getting a message that it is connected; however, when we go through the network testing, we are getting an error with the gateway ping. We have a wireless router upstairs at the other end of the house, so we would rather not run a cable from upstairs to basement and then across and up to blu ray player. We have called Samsung and they tell us Time Warner Cable has a firewall on our modem, but Time Warner says there is no firewall. Please help.

I just got a Samsung TV and the BD-P 1600 Blue Ray player. I am trying to setup the network connection and for the life of me can’t figure out what the problem is. The Samsung LAN adaptor has found my network and connected. When I run the test it passes the first 3 tests but fails #4 – Internet Service Test. I’ve disconnected and reinstalled with the same results. The manual is worthless. I am using a ATT U-verse RG wireless router. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

thanks for the comments…i’m going to wait it out until something more user-friendly comes out…looks like the manufacture’s are putting things out on the market before much testing is done…sales people should get them first and try them out – most of them don’t have a clue either…consumers are tired of being taken for granted with everyone selling something to us, wasting our money testing out products for them, them having to buy something else or upgrading later…think i’m going to buy something just for my netflix then buy blue-ray when the cost comes down and they have their act together.

I have a Samsung Blue Ray 1600….I try to connect to my WiFi (I have a Linksys Router)…it tells me I am connected but, when I run the Network test, it says it can’t ping the gateway (step #3). When I try to access you tube or pandora, I get a message that the network is not set up properly. Anyone got any ideas for a soultion here?

Does the Netflix interface still only have the movies that you put in your que?
