Does it have any noticeable noises, such as a high pitched whine or chunking, when it is playing Blue Rays and/or DVDs?

Loadiing yes. Playing is smooth and deals with blu rays very well. So far love it. No noise while playing. Have not tried PAL encoded discs yet. Ready to get another for the bedroom.

We used it on DVDs from Germany and all of them worked Great!! We have tried US Blue Rays but not foreign. There are No issues at all and use it 3 to 4 times a week for the last 6 weeks. No issues at all.

Mine does not have that problem. Have you tried another DVD player to make sure it's not really the TV?

No....... But the volume is very clear and sound can be removed when you burn it to a DVD.

no mine doesn't even play blue ray but to return it cost half as much as buying it, don't buy it!

I have heard no noticeable noises because I use it for kids to listen to books on CD. When I tested it I heard nothing unusual. Hope that helped.

Yes is has a low buzz when sound is absent. Not noticeable during game play though. Personally doesn't bother me.

Yes it does, and they are not half bad. Some files of movies are loud or soft, so you frequently have to adjust the sound volume level up or down.

It makes some noise when you first turn it on and it's warming up but it goes away pretty quickly and has never been noticeable when we are watching movies. We have had ours almost a year with no issues and love the picture quality.

H TJ...mine has a little whistle, but I listen with head phones(speakers are pretty lousy) so I don't notice it..I don't think it means there's something wrong with the player..I just wish I could make the picture brighter....

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.

If you have the blue ray hooked up through an hdmi cable all sound should sound good through the sound bar, but you will probably get better sound quality going straight from DVD player to soundbar!

I think so but we've eaten up several blue ray players in less than 18 months. Seems like the sound keeps going out and no one either with the blue ray player or Samsung knows why. I'm hooked up to a 25 dollar DVD player and the sound is okay and the picture is okay. I've mostly given up and watch movies on my Mac Laptop and enjoy it very much.

It's not that bad. It is noticeable when the unit is first turned on, and before playing video/audio. But in a moderately sized room, with the video/audio at normal levels (and especially at high levels during louder scenes), it is barely noticeable if at all. It could be considered bothersome by some, in a small room, when the video/audio are quieter.

Yes. The unit does make noise but it does NO whir. There is the expected noise of the rotation of the discs but not overly loud or obnoxious. The unit is very sturdy. I am a very large person and it has no difficulty with my weight or size and working.

Pro's: It works as a basic DVD player,,,nothing fancy but plays our older non blue rays....we got it for our "speXial" DVDs we play with in the bedromm away from the kids.output HDMI to the TV..Con's: noisy meaing mechanical operation makes noise and funky sounds...does not damage disk but you swear it is....turn up the vol and when the vol is up its ok. For us we do not care about sound track. not overwhelming the action/sound in the movie.

No...it's just the receiver. You have to have a separate DVD or blue ray player. You connect the player to the receiver to listen to it in surround sound.
