Samsung BD-E8900A — 3D Smart Blu-ray Player & 500GB HDD Recorder

The Samsung BD-E8900A combines a 3D Blu-ray player, a 500GB hard drive recorder, and Smart TV streaming in one elegant unit. Record free-to-air TV while watching Blu-ray, stream content via Wi-Fi, and share media across your home network with built-in DLNA. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• 3D Blu-ray playback: Full 1080p 3D and 2D Blu-ray disc playback with Samsung's picture enhancement technology
• 500GB HDD recorder: Record free-to-air TV programs directly to the internal hard drive — no separate PVR needed
• Smart TV apps: Built-in apps including streaming services, web browser, and Samsung AllShare
• Built-in Wi-Fi: Stream content from the internet and your home network without running cables to the TV unit
• DLNA media server: Share recorded content and media files across compatible devices on your home network
• All-in-one media hub: Blu-ray + PVR + Smart TV in one unit reduces clutter behind the TV

Performance in Use

The BD-E8900A eliminates the need for separate Blu-ray player, PVR, and streaming device. Its 500GB HDD provides ample space for recorded TV content — typically 100+ hours of standard definition or 30+ hours of high definition recording depending on broadcast quality. The twin tuner (where supported) allows one channel to be recorded while watching another.

Blu-ray playback delivers full 1080p video with Samsung's proprietary upscaling for standard definition DVDs, and 3D Blu-ray support for 3D-capable TV setups. The Smart TV platform provides access to streaming services that were current at launch, though third-party app availability depends on Samsung's Smart TV platform version for this era device.

DLNA networking allows content recorded on the BD-E8900A to be accessed on other DLNA-compatible devices in the home — smart TVs, media players, and compatible smartphones. Built-in Wi-Fi means placement is flexible — no Ethernet cable run to the entertainment unit required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it play 4K Blu-ray?

No. The BD-E8900A is a Full HD (1080p) Blu-ray player. It does not play 4K UHD Blu-ray discs. For 4K UHD Blu-ray, a newer player is required.

Does it include a remote control?

Remote control availability varies by unit. Please contact us if a remote is essential before ordering.

Can I still use the Smart TV apps?

Some Smart TV apps from the 2012 Samsung platform may no longer be active as services have discontinued support for older firmware. Blu-ray disc playback, DVD playback, HDD recording, and DLNA networking all function independently of Smart TV apps.

Is the HDD wiped?

Yes. The internal hard drive is formatted before dispatch — any previous recordings are cleared.

What is the warranty?

All Reboot IT products include a 12-month warranty. If a fault develops within 12 months, we repair or replace at no cost.
