I've had info disappear if I scroll too rapidly, so I allow the drive to "catch up" Shen scrolling. Although Sony hasn't updated the firmware in quite some time, you might check to see if yours is current. Too bad sony no longer makes a carrousel.

I just bought Planet Earth (Blu-Ray) and it plays great on my Aquos player and I haven't had to load any updates (yet). If you figure it out, let us know. Good luck.

Thank you Frolian. I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple hours, and I didn't know until you shared. I have DVD+R DVDs. You're my hero!!

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

Hi Shelley,I sent you a post in another discussion. It seems the Netflix movies are giving me grief!! I'm trying to watch Michael Clayton, and my player says its incompatible. I'm having a tough time installing the firmware update as well... the machine can't seem to locate the dang file on my jump drive. Oh well, maybe the disc is bad.Cheers!

I have a had a similar "No Disc" error and the unit is not even a month old. Any help on this will be appreciated.

J.F I haven't had any problems lately, however the titles I mentioned above still will not load. I've called Sony but all they wanna say is make sure your firmware is updated. I haven't tried WoO, but Ill try it tonight when I get home. Hopefully its just your disc from Netflix...

Dear Han, I received an answer request via Amazon.com The product is fine. The issue is that the two discs come togehter with something called "array", which means that they are arranged with a RAID so when something is written into the hard drive, it's written in both discs at the same time (mirror array). This is particularly useful for backups so if a hard drive fails (and they do!) you have a second drive in good shape to retrieve the information and then to replace the broken hard drive. You may call this as a redundant backup. I had the same problem than you because the brochure is not so clear about the array and you can think that you're buying some capacity and then it turns out that the capacity is there but mirrored... The good thing is that you can buy more hard drives in amazon.com and expand the capacity :) I hope this helps.

Yes, majority of big titles, even old ones are available for dl. It tends to change though. Whenever it feels like it.

I have not had any problem with these discs. Is you light scribe software and drive up to date?

So when the phone rings you eject the disc?? I just don't get it.... I have a feeling it's more complicated then the player just remembering a simple time stamp. Like I said this is something that can be added by firmware later on IFF there is a demand for it. I think most people are fine with it resuming play of only the disc in the drive.

I've been told it does not work with 3D. I'm presuming the reason Sony is dropping the price now is that a new version is coming out that fixes the gracenote problems (hard to deal with discs that are not on gracenote) AND the next version will be 3D capable. This is strictly a guess, but every other Sony Bluray player is now 3D capable except this one. And since all the 3D movies aren't coming out unitl later this fall... I should just go and put in a 3D movie and see though. Sony's support on this player does seem to be a bit weak.

Sorry, Mohammed - I am having a bear of a time just trying to get my Encore 5.0.2 to work properly (you have to exit the file and re-enter in order to edit mistakes, as if it forgot what it was doing right while you were working on a very delicate musical passage. It's a very nice program otherwise, but seems to be quite self-contained. A quick perusal of "Help" and "Open File As..." mentions nothing about PDF. Nor is there a Converter. The last posts I have seen when I Google "GVOX" or "Encore 5.0.2" are from around 2011. Tell you the truth, there are a lot of questions I would like to ask them.

I agree with you there. They have started lumping lots of items together. Different versions and disc formats of movies etc.. There is really a big difference in performance and other factors in hard drives. The larger the drive capacity, the smaller the track when you get to the max number of platters. I doubt they can fit any more platters in this form factor and they are now making 5TB drives! I have always stayed away from capacities that are on the cutting edge. I wait for the early adopters to find the flaws.At least they keep the Q & A separate.

It played a few for me, but not many. With most discs I tried it told me I needed to install the latest patch. I installed the patch and it still told me the same thing. Some of the ones it would *not* play for me were The Amazing Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight Rises, and Game of Thrones. These are some pretty high-profile titles for it to not work. I think I was able to play Grimm Season 2 and that was about it. It played DVDs with no problems, but the interface is pretty terrible so it's not worth it.
