I have a BDP-S300 and after using about a year encountered this problem. I ejected the tray and sprayed air-duster all the way inside the unit (from the tray opening) and the problem went away.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Do not upgrade the firmware if you have no problem with the player. Many users told their players freezed after updated. You'd better backup your current firmware before upgrading the new ones. You may visit Samsung's website read it carefully then you may manually download the latest firmware to the usb or directly to your player from the rj-45 wire from your Internet router to the rear(LAN)plugin of the player or wireless to player. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/BD-P3600

Hi Minilith, firmware upgrade for this Sony BDPSX910 is being done using a disc (CD) only, Using a flash drive on a USB port will not work. -Ely

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

to try and offer some advice: i just upgraded from the BDP83 to the BDP93, i have only watched 1 Blu on the new one (BDP93) but was amazed at the pic quality i had the BDP83 for almost a year before upgrading and the only issue i had was watching LOTR extended versions on DVD and would see a 'hiccup" every so often - i believe this was where they added the extended footage in - otherwise i NEVER had a single issue with my player with an Oppo or PS3 OR whatever bluray player you have or decide to buy i always make sure the firmware is updated to resolve any 'issues" you may have best of luck to you

I have a OPPO BDP 80 player which has been modified to be region-free for DVD's and Blu-Ray discs. The modification works for DVD's allowing one to play Region 2 DVD's with no problem. However, there is a problem playing Blu-Ray discs other than Region A. For example, the modified player cannot play Region B Blu-Ray discs, even after carefully following the instructions for changing from Region A to Region B. Am posting this comment to know if other owners of region-free modified OPPO BDP 80 players (modified either with a kit or by a third-party source) have had issues playing Blu-Ray discs other than Region A.

Most likely because the Sony player is an older model that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW disks.I have a Sony DVP-S7000 (first Sony DVD player) and it does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW, but my Sony Playstation 2 does.Check your manual if it says anything about it being able to play the writable formats.This information will also usually be indicated on the face plate of the unit, if it can play the additional formats in addition to the standard DVD format.

I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D. My BDP-BX57 gives me the message that it cannot play 3D movies with this player. Why did I buy this 3D player again, not to mention the glasses, the DVD, and the 3D compatible TV? Sony's web site indicated that a "future" firmware update will enable 3D DVD playback. WHEN is this going to occur? And does SONY believe I would have purchased this player if I knew the product was not a functional 3D player, despite it's labeling? So I guess now I have to wait months for the product to be corrected, or spend more money hoping the next product won't be fraudulently marketed.Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray Disc Player, 3D-ready with built-in WI-FI

I contacted Sony support and this is what they said:"I'm sorry that the resume playback feature of the Blu-ray Disc player does not work. Sometimes, the player may not resume playback depending on the disc or stop point."Not very helpful. Not sure yet if this happens on all BD disc but it happens on Casino Royal, which is Sony produced... Very lame IMO.

updated firmware on Jan 20 2010 and now blu rays do not play and some dvd will not play either. I did the upgrad through either net and usb 3 times each. Do not buy one of these players!. I have had nothing but trouble since I got not even a year ago. Support was no help at all. I now know more than their support. They did not even tell me to try turning off BD live and using a usb stick. They just wanted money for the repair.

I"ve been wondering the same thing. According to the manual, it has a resume function. I bought 2 of the 570 players 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to resume playback on any bluray yet. They all start playing from the beginning of the disc. Don't know if it's the way I have it setup or if it just isn't available.

DLP: Like others, my BD390 quit playing many of the newer bluray discs a couple weeks ago. Firmware is current. After first discussion with LG support, I took the unit to an authorized electronic repair. Am told the unit is working properly but CANNOT be updated further to play the newer blurays coming out, despite firmware updates. Spoke again TODAY with LG support and they confirmed this. Was told there was NO upgrade available for the unit and that NO discount would be given on purchasing a newer LG unit! They were amazingly indifferent and told me I was "out of luck".......would either have to accept the fact this unit was ALREADY outdated for current and upcoming blurays, or buy a newer unit. I WILL NOT BE BUYING FUTURE LG PRODUCTS. DLP

I just uploaded the 2.6 firmware on my BD-P1500 player. I was having issues with the new release of Sherlock Holmes. After the upgrade it is still jumping on the same scenes, after 3 bluray disc exchanges. Does anyone know if the new version will be out soon. Samsung said they usually come out every 3 months with new firmware updates.

We have never had any issue with a disk at all, if one of the bunch didn't work then I would say yes. Could happen, but if all don't play, you hve a problem with the blu Ray playing reg disk,
