Questions & Answers

Carol L : Will this stream Amazon prime?JOHN C : I have not tried. Some reviews (cnet - lg-bp530) suggest it may not. I could test it this weekend if you cannot find information from LG.WILLIAM B : I am sorry I am unable to answer your question.VINCENT P : Dont know for sure, I dont stream on it, only use if for the 3D movies and Blu-RayMARK S : No doesnt. I cant figure out how to add it. Maybe a call to LG support? I use my sons play station...MINDA D : Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and some other apps are built in. You might try to get Amazon to send a code to your device so that you can stream your movies.TODD H : No the Amazon Prime app is not on this player.
Shopper : Can regular DVDs be played on this unit?JASON U : Oh yes ! Definitely. Even with a regular DVD, the player up-converts the media to a sharper, more vibrant picture.

joe l : is this new or a refurb. ??THOMAS F : Joe, Adorama sent me your e-mail question. I bought two of these Blu-ray a while back and have been using them. It has worked well, but I don't put any special demands on it or use the "smart feature" as I already have those on my TV. Unfortunately I can't answer your specific question. The one I bought was new in box with all the accessories in their sealed plastic baggies. I hope this is of some use to know.OLIVER C : NEW.CYNTHIA G : The one we got was new and for a great price!

I really like the unit, and hope this helps you.DAVID P : As far as I know, Adorama only sells new items, with an occasional refurbished item BUT CLEARLY MARKED AS SUCH. That is, if it doesn't say it is refurb, it is new. The one I bought was new.MICHAEL C : New

yes has great features

I bought this in June of this year at my jobs store was working well but haven't used in months. When I turned on the player the "hello" and the number display worked but I pushed play and nothing would show up on my TV AT ALL completely black. Was very disappointed and now of course have to get a new player but not by this brand.

Junk

BASICALLY ONLY USEFUL AS A BLUE RAY PLAYER!!! But what do you expect for the price. YouTube is barley functional, the player keeps signing you out forcing you to go to the computer and entering a code, similar issues with NetFlix the player constantly drops internet connection whether on WiFi or LAN. no browser app so you can surf the net from the sofa. Constantly overheats and freezes up I had to modify an old computer aluminum Heat sink and use good thermal compound to fix the problem. I also had re fix some cold solder joints to many useless per-installed apps you cant get rid of that suck up memory making overall performance slow. All in all spend a little more money and buy something better!!! LG Should have thought this one out a little better.

Works But Has Poor Remote

The player seems to work in every mode; however the remote is very poorly designed. The problem is with its power. The remote takes only one AAA battery and must be pointed directly at the unit with nothing in the way to be able to work. I don’t know how many times I’ve pushed a button the same way I push the buttons on my other DVD players, cable box, audio amplifier, VCR, etc. and nothing happens. Then I have to stop, carefully point it directly at the unit and push again. This is not my first LG Blu-Ray player. I actually have three. The LG 335 has the same small remote, but I use it in a very small space where I am very close to the player. I have found however, that my oldest unit, a BD-670, has a remote that will work with this one without having to be so carefully used. Now I just have to find one.

Inexpensive but you get what you pay for.

Extremely basic model with limited connectivity. Good bang for the buck though.

Tiny but mighty!

I've really enjoyed using this machine. It's super-simple to hook-up, and the on-screen interface is extremely easy to navigate. Picture quality (which includes 1080p up-sampling) is very good. This machine has wi-fi, and that's easy to set-up as well. We have a DLNA-capable wireless router and we've been able to watch videos and listen to music on our TV via the BP530. I highly recommend this machine.

Blu-Ray DVD Player

This is a very good Blu-Ray player but it does come with Amazon Prime app, which we wanted. Nor is the app available from the LG download site.

I like the slim design and the quality

No complaints.....except...it seems the remote does not always turn the unit on and off even when I make sure it is pointed right at the unit. I've learned to live with it. Nice streaming and I love the slim height of the unit.

Best 3D Blu-ray player out there

No matter the price of more expensive units , this Smart 3D player does the same as the pricey ones. The price was right and I bought the 3D movies with the savings on my purchase. This player made me smart. I will never leave my home 3D system for another. GO LG you ROCK.

Great features

I bought this blu ray player because I wanted it to go with my LG TV. It was also a deal I couldn't pass up, great price. I love the features, I can watch new blu ray movies as well as my old DVDs all on the same player. I love that I can also hook it up to the internet and watch Netflix.

Smart Features Add Value to this Excellent Unit

I have found this excellent unit to be a great addition to my home entertainment theater. I have over a 1,000 Blu-ray Discs and this player loads fast, remembers the last played chapter and the 3-D is amazing.Due to its Smart features I find myself watching more and more streaming videos. It is also easy to use!

Horrible smart blu-ray player

All I can say is at least it works some of the time....some blu-ray discs it won't read, it constantly drops internet, and when it is connected it is SLOW!! Looking for a replacement(not LG), extremely disappointed in LG that they'd sell such a poor performing product

It does the job.

It does what a player is supposed to do. The only problem I have is the display is too bright. In a dark/dim room, the display is distracting. On the opposite side, the controls on the player can't be seen in a dark room. I typically start the player at the player after loading a disk since I'm there. I can't see where the play or eject buttons are. I'm not saying have them lit but maybe painted gray so they can be somewhat seen.

Deal for the price, software updates can be tricky

I purchased this unit in November 2013 & have had little problem with it UNTIL recent software updates which often cripple the HuluPlus app, all the other apps seem to work normally still (don't know about Netflix, don't use it). My primary reason for having bought this unit was to not only replace my old failing DVD player, but to also stream my subscription with HuluPlus w/o needing to use a computer. For the prior, it still functions much better than I had anticipated. For the latter, I'd like to either see a software update that fixes the problem or a way to revert/reinstall an older version of the software from prior to the one that caused the problems. The only support I could find here on the LG.com website about problems with HuluPlus is in regards to streaming issues of content, which doesn't apply since the app won't fully load to even stream the content. The site offers answers to common problems, but seldom address specific issues which require better answers & methods to fix the problems. This is one of those issues that needs to be addressed for when any apps used on LG products fail to load properly. Contacted HuluPlus about the problem & was informed they are aware of the problem & that they have been receiving multiple complaints from people who own LG devices of problems preventing the HuluPlus app from getting any further than the initial splash screen telling you it's loading (which if left alone can continue for hours). They have been trying to fix the problem but since it only seems to be a problem with LG devices, they can only offer suggestions & possible workarounds (which are still hit or miss). LG really needs to work better with it's industry partners to ensure product compatibility.

This device is great for the price. The only problem I have is trying to figure out how to delete an app after downloading :

The LG BP530 3D Smarter Blu-Ray Disc Player accesses limitless content, thousands of movies, customizable apps and videos all organized in a simple-to-use interface. Want to watch TV without disturbing those around you? Through the LG remote app you can wirelessly send the audio from the TV to your Smartphone and listen to your program through headphones.

Enjoy 3D Blu-ray Disc movies in Full HD 1080p. Also supports standard Blu-ray Disc movies in high definition and upscales DVDs to near HD quality. With the built-in Wi-Fi, you can feel less clutter and more possibilities. Cut loose from messy wires. This blu-ray disc player has integrated Wi-Fi connectivity allows you take advantage of Internet access from any available Wi-Fi connection in its range.

Make digital devices compatible. To build a digital network, you need digital devices. That's obvious. But unless those devices are compatible, it won't be much of a network. DLNA Certified devices work together. LG Blu-ray players also play DVDs, so there is no need to replace your old DVD collection. Not only that standard DVD Up-Scaling delivers exceptional image quality with 1080p up scaling via HDMI.
