I'm experiencing the same issue. I'd ordered a few Blu-Rays from Target, Amazon, etc. and none of them work. They're Region 1, and I set Blu-Ray to Region 1 on my laptop. Any advice from others would be welcome as I bought this laptop partially for the Blu-Ray. I wanna watch James Bond Blue-Rays!! WAAAAHHH!!!! :-(

you must have software to play blu-ray discs, i recommend cyberlink PowerDVD or you can download the VLC player its free, you must dowload the libbluray libraries to get vlc play Bluray.

I have this same issue with an earlier model (BDP-S350). For me the problem began when my blu-ray player automatically updated its firmware last spring. Even blu-ray disks that played fine earlier stopped playing, although many of the new disks that I've tried work fine. Sony appears to be oblivious to this issue not providing any meaningful customer support. There are several possible solutions posted on the SONY website and on various discussion forums for other models (e.g, turn off the Internet access, clear the USB jump drive memory, unplug the unit from the AC power for a minute or two). None of them worked in my case. I finally gave up and bought a new Panasonic player; out of principle I persisted in trying to 'fix' my Sony blu-ray player for quite a while and eventually decided to pay a few buck to buy my way out of the aggravation). Bye, bye Sony products, hello Panasonic (They also burned me years ago for discontinuing support [e.g., driver updates] for one of their expensive Vaio computers.).

I just plugged my amazon fire into the DVD port of the receiver. It works fine that way. I still have the BVD port available for the Blue Ray player.

This player does have a Blu ray player and writer on it. If it is not doing so you may have the connection hookup incorrect. Also you must have a mother board and good enough graphics card to use the writer portion.

It won't play blue ray files as they come in blue ray discs. They need to be remuxed or converted to Mkv or Avi. You should be able to plug your 2TB drive.

Once you set up the adapter through the steps in the instructions just connect it to the Blu-ray player. You don't have to setup the Blu-ray player first.

You need the software to play the unit. The software does not work on my machine. I even had a IT guy come install and it still had error when trying to play Blu Ray.

Update....I connected the blueray player via ethernet cable to the router. I downloaded the newest firmware via cd-r on my computer and placed it in the player and Behold!!!! after going to menu and going to the network menu for updates, it well ,, updated...which took some 20 or so minutes. I then had to reintroduce the player to the samsung wireless Lan which the player accommodated. I am now up and running netflix, pandora, also utube and blockbuster were added to the configuration. Don't try to waste any more valuable time trying to figure out gateway ping and simply disconnect the Lan and hook the player via ethernet cable or you will never get anywhere.

I found that the blu ray player has to be connected to the network via wireless. A hard wired connection won't allow the iphone app to work. No idea why, but I tried for a long time to get it to work over a wired connection. Everything showed up on the network just as you are finding. It worked the first time via wireless. I found that out via scanning several forums. Hope this helps.

i read a response on the samsung site that said there have been issues when people are uploading firmware via wifi and their wireless network drops the signal - sounds like the best thing to do is download the firmware from your pc to a USB stick and insert that directly into the blue-ray player. I've ordered system but not installed yet.

The Problem is this device is a 5.1 chanel home theather and can not support bluray's 7.1 audio streaming via optical cable. Blueray players can decode or bitstream new codecs like Dolby true HD and DTS-MA(mastering audio) using hdmi interface. With optical you can only send 5.1 and below. Depending on the blueray player, you need to go to sound options and set the sound mode to 5.1 . not LPCM,DTS-MA. or any 7.1 streaming audio format. DVD's mostly use dolby digital encoding that can be sent to these 5.1 devices. That is why you don't have the problem when playing DVD,s. You also need to set the sound output mode to optical not HDMI. The Problem is this device is a 5.1 chanel home theather and can not support bluray's 7.1 audio streaming via optical cable.

Sweet! MAC code! I was having the same problem where I couldn't connect my blu-ray through the router. I went into the router properties and put in the MAC code and poof! It works. I had to power off my blu-ray and then turn it back on to make it take. I have a secured network using a linksys router.

Most likely it will not work. The device is meant for a computer, and not a standalone device. The computer will have the necessary means of loading software to make it work, whereas the blueray/DVD player has a custom operating system that will not work the same way.
