The Samsung BD-D5500 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) is full of features to keep you entertained, and supports 3D content as well as 3D upconversion from 2D content. The Wi-Fi ready BD-D5500 gives you access to online content with streaming capabilities and is packed into a compact package that adds a sophisticated edge to any space.
If you have 3D Blu-ray discs, the BD-D5500 supports playback for an immersive, cinema-quality experience along with a 3D-ready HDTV or home theater projector as well as a 3D-ready cable and 3D glasses (sold separately). If you don't have any 3D content yet, this exceptional disc player will upconvert your 2D content to near-3D image quality so you can still get the full wraparound experience. Or, if you have a large collection of DVDs, this player will upconvert them so you can enjoy them in higher definition with added detail and color depth closer to the image quality of HD.
This player is Wi-Fi ready, along with an adapter (sold separately) and supports Samsung Smart TV for instant streaming of online content and Samsung apps. This integrated service lets you search across the internet, access Samsung apps, and search content on your TV or online.
The BD-D5500 supports several file formats including DivX HD for video files on your computer as well as MP3 music files and JPEG photo files. With two USB ports, you can easily pop in a USB flash drive with stored photos to share with family and friends on the big screen in high definition.
But premium quality video delivery is only half of the full entertainment experience. This player also supports several Dolby and DTS audio formats to give you high resolution audio and allow you to get the most out of your movie collection.
With Anynet+ (HDMI CEC) you can streamline control into just a single remote for an ultra-convenient entertainment experience. Along with a quick 3-second load time and fast rebooting time, you're all set to start enjoying your favorites right away. This player is also fully compliant with Energy Star 2.0 for a minimal drain on both the environment and your wallet. Its compact form factor will fit just about anywhere while the high-gloss black finish complements any decor.
- Cinema Quality 3D
- The BD-D5500 supports 3D content to let you experience the wraparound, realistic visuals of 3D content along with a 3D-ready HDTV or projector, 3D-ready cable and 3D glasses (sold separately). If you already have Blu-ray titles encoded in 3D, now you can enjoy them to the fullest or accommodate any future Blu-rays in 3D. This exceptional player allows you to step into the future of entertainment with 3D visuals, giving you access to a cinema quality experience.
- 2D to 3D Conversion
- Since there's not a ton of content out yet in 3D, this player has you covered. It upscales your standard Blu-ray discs to 3D so you can still get immersive, near-3D image quality from your 2D content.
- Upscale Your DVDs
- Start getting the most out of your collection of DVDs. While this player can upconvert 2D content to 3D, it can also upscale your DVDs for higher quality, smoother video playback. So this way, there's no need to upgrade your disc collection to Blu-rays because the BD-D5500 does it for you to near-HD quality.
- Web-Connected Samsung Apps
- Turn your TV into a web-enabled interactive gateway to interact, watch, play and share with friends. Samsung Smart Hub consists of over 200 apps available through this proprietary platform, as well as streamlined channels including movie channels, TV programming, sports and news. The "All Search" lets you type a phrase into the search window and access a list of material from subscribed channels, the internet, a home network and other wirelessly connected devices, including smart phones.
- Wi-Fi Ready
- Along with an adapter, this player is Wi-Fi ready so you can take full advantage of online connectivity. It also has an ethernet connection which can be paired with your high-speed internet connection.
- Multi-Format Playback
- The BD-D5500 supports playback of standard Blu-ray discs, DVDs and CDs and also supports several file formats including MP3, WMA, and AAC. If you have JPEG files on your camera or a USB flash drive, you can enjoy these in high definition on your TV screen via its 2 USB ports.
- Anynet +
- The BD-D5500 supports Samsung Anynet + (HDMI CEC). This network system automatically controls Samsung AV devices and eliminates the need to use different remote controls for different devices. With the Anynet + feature, all you need is one remote control for a simple user-friendly experience.
- DivX HD Playback
- If you have DivX videos downloaded on your computer, you can burn them to a CD or DVD and watch them on the big screen with this player.
- Allshare
- Share music, movies and photos from your PC and mobile devices on your Samsung TV screen. With this player's AllShare functionality, you can wirelessly sync your PC or Samsung mobile phone with your TV, streaming content and even keep track of phone calls and texts with real-time monitoring on your screen.
- Advanced Audio Decoding

This player supports decoding of Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS audio with support for 7.1 channels (Dolby) and 5.1 channels (DTS). The unit features digital audio output as well as HDMI for high resolution sound to accompany your favorite movies.
- Ultra Fast Play
- This player has ultra fast play, with 3-second booting and quick loading times so you can start enjoying your favorites right away. Just pop in your favorite DVD or Blu-ray disc and begin watching right away.

[...] We hooked up and initialized our set by ourselves, and without much problem, however we called a friend who is an electriconics installer to help us hook up and operate our set with the 3D Blu-ray DVD player and our surround sound system. Within about three hours, we were watching a 3D movie on our set in surround sound. The pictureee and sound are awesome, although the TV only sound is not really loud. Personally I think the TV sound is a little soft and muddy, but for movies our system is great. We are VERY impressed with the 3D effects with the provided 3d Glasses, Blu-Ray player and our 64" Samsung TV, and color and sharpness are great!

As a blu-ray player I am very happy. The wi-fi is an insult. It is not built in. Just a USB port to attach a Samsung wi-fi adapter. Only problem is that they haven't been available for two years even then the price was the same as the player's. A computer wi-fi will not work and I have not found a compatible adapter. After buying two that were supposed to work but didn't, I give up.

Comments about Samsung BD-D5500 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black):
We like the fact that we can get rid of the Netflix box & that the remote works for both DVDs & Netflix. We need to get an HDMI cable, or something like that, so we can stream some movies & shows directly from our Internet connection.

Had problems registering onto Netflix, after trying 3 or 4 times, called Samsung help, but they were of no help, I left it unplugged for about an hour, then it finally took the code, now it works like a charm.

Comments about Samsung BD-D5500 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black):
Great product - use it with a Samsung LED 3D TV. Easy to use, easy set-up. You need an adapter if you want to use it for streaming (I don't need this function, as I have a SmartTV instead). Highly recommend.
