Question for those with a Blu-Ray player?

Question

I bought a Sony BDP-S300 Blu-Ray player about 6 months ago. I've really been enjoying it, but have been having a problem with it. Most of my Blu-Ray discs will play, but others won't play at all.

So far, I have had 3 discs that wouldn't play. What happens is I place the disc in and a Loading screen shows up. It is a black screen and at the bottom it says "Loading" and underneath that is a blue bar that keeps moving back and forth, indicating that the movie is loading. The problem is that the movie will never load...I know some Blu-Ray players have long load times, but I have waited up to ten minutes for the movies to load with no success. It's just as if the blu-ray gets stuck or something. I have tried cleaning the discs and the inside of my blu-ray player but still no luck. I read the troubleshooting section in my manual and nothing in it was helpful.

Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

Answer 1

More than likeley the movies that you're having issues with are newer movies. Inside every Blu-ray Disc there's a little piece of paper that states that you may have issues playing certain titles. Follow the directions on that slip of paper to update the firmware ony our Blu-ray player, this more than likely will resolve your issue :)

I'm not to sure because I have a ps3 but can't you download software updates for the players? You could try that and see if it works after that.
