SamyGO

Hi Everyone.
I'm interested to buy this player. I know that inside is Cinavia, but I have 2 questions:
1. It is possible to remove it (thru new firmware)?
2. Cinavia also works when I connect computer thru HDMI IN port and play file for example from MPC-HC, or it works only when I play movies directly from HT-F5550 menu?

Don't buy HT-F5550 . it's F... I have one and problem is stupid cinavia , I'm using mezzmo server to stream movies and after 20 min audio mute , can't downgrade firmware , so... stuck .

But can You check HDMI IN port? It also stops when You play movie from computer connected to HDMI IN ? Or it stops only when you play movie from F5550 (network, dlna ...).

It seems like it?s not possible to avoid Cinavia on F series Samsung Home theaters, I asked here in the forums but no answer so far.

This is my workaround: I bought a Samsung BlueRay player at BestBuy, the BD-D5500 (it was very cheap since it was an old item taken from the showcase), I downgraded it using samygo procedure and right now it?s working with no Cinavia, what I did is to connect it to the home theater through the optical interface to make profit of the 5.1 sound.

When it?s about playing bluray "copies" or stored in a DLNA server my home theater becomes just an audio system, it could not be very convenient deppending on your needs but i haven?t found a better solution.

Your work is carry the information to the other people. There is no question against your interesting post. I am waiting you give me a more interested information.very nice work i appreciate you...

Hi.
And? Cable arrive?

Are you able to play cinavia-protected movies from a DLNA/USB source with the working sound on your HT-F?
