I am not 100% sure, but the Samsung, a Panasonic and a Sony was on the PUC list for the BS3/BV7-40MKIII. You may want to check with your local dealer. However, not a good time to purchase a Blue Ray player (imho), the current generation has a lot of drawbacks. The only one I would buy is the Sony Playstation.....but new Blue Ray Player are close to be released.
