I bought a similar model and although I didn't have a volume issue the device stopped charging after less than 3 months...sorry this happened to u...item seems to be a loser for all of us...

Same thing happened to me, it only played through my right speaker. I found that if I you push down the plug into the jack, and hold it there, you can hear it through the other speaker. Sometimes it would just work normally... but yeah I also found the same flaw in the product

I have the same model. And the DVD stoped working after shortly after one year. We only used the DVD several times. Sony basically told me I was SOL. The one your warranty was up. Stay away!!!!!

I contacted Sony and they told me to hook up my: Bluray &gt; HDMI &gt; TV Bluray &gt; Optical Cable &gt; Home Theater Home Theater &gt; HDMI &gt; TV When i play my dvds on my home theater i get the full surround sound, BUT when i play my blurays i dont. I get the same sound from my front right speakers and my right rear speakers (same thing for the left side). Does anyone have a solution? or having these same issues? My Equipment: Sony Bravia KDL46V5100, Sony HDX589w Home Theater, Samsung P3600 BluRay Player

I would suggest checking the settings on the DVD player. Many will have multiple options for audio output.

Hello. I have not had any problems with the DVD's or Blu-Rays I have bought. It has worked flawlessly every time. Perhaps it is possible to have trouble with homemade discs, but I have not tried any of mine in the player.

Of those that were able to get the infrared headphones working, did you have to do something special to get them to work? I have 2 sets of infrared headphones from a Sienna DVDS system, but not quite sure how to get them to work. TIA!

It happened to me once after I moved to a new house and the DVD player was shaken. It loses the laser alignment and can not read the disc credentials. I sent it to Sony, they charged me about $80, and then after that and they fixed the problem. Has your player moved or shaken?

We absolutely love ours. Every disc we bought has worked. You have to make sure it is the CD+G type. Try different Input options on your tv. If you have done all of this, then its most likely bad.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

Same issue here, but only seems to happen with Blu-ray discs. Never saw anyone else mention this in a review--here or elsewhere (cnet, pc magazine). Keep meaning to contact Sony because hopefully it's a defect that can be fixed. If not, it's a big ding on the quality. FYI, I rested the player's four feet on four thick pieces of padding to quiet the vibrations. Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts work quite well (but shouldn't be needed!).

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

We have made multiple attempts to contact the company directly (with no avail) regarding both questions. The volume on the machine just does randomly seem to almost turn itself off (so low, it might as well be). We experienced the exact same defect on several different units via exchanges to the company, although a select few customers seem to report no problem at all. As to improvements, we have noticed the product appearing and disappearing from various retailer sites...hopefully, it has been an effort to pull the item and find a solution. However, based on other reviews we've seen: No improvements have been made. Currently we are using the one-level-down model from this company and we do like it. It has far less features (fewer sounds/ tones, no clock) than the Version II, but as it actually works and we don't get startled awake all through the night with sound cutting out, it is the only one we would recommend at this time. Homedics could also stand to work on their customer service while they are at fixing the second model.

I have not had an issue with sound with the unit. I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve for sound. I think the unit is a bit slow for response is my biggest concern. Otherwise I just use it to play L&H classic films. Because it was much cheaper to buy the region 2 library disc set than it was for ntsc by about 200.00.

Make sure the volume on the box itself is turned up. I had the same issue, I thought, then after adjusting the volume on box itself, I found that the remote worked again. Hope that solves your problem.

No problem on mine. The only problem I have is on the remote is that I cannot lower the sound, but I believe that is my fault.
