My Panasonic SC-BT330 is not playing my Blu Ray Movies correctly Can anyone help me with this? My Panasonic SC-BT330 plays the previews on the Blu-Ray disc fine, but when the movie comes on, it doesn't have any sound except for the background. I can't hear what they are saying. I don't know if it's the setting or it's a default on this system or not. Please i need to know if it's a default so i can send it back before my 30 days expires or if i didn't just set it up right.

I have a problem with this Blu-Ray player, too... but my problem is different. The system sound is fine, and it plays regular DVDs just fine... but if we try to play a Blu-Ray, the play keeps getting interrupted and/or randomly skipping forward or backward by itself. We even took the batteries out of our remote control thinking maybe that was the problem, but the system still randomly stopped/skipped around in playing the Blu-Ray. Any ideas?

C,Does the CD player & radio have sound? If they do have sound, maybe u should call Panasnic. It seems like more than just a firmware update.

It might help but I am not much of a Samsung fan. I bought one from here and when I connected it, after one movie the blue ray stopped working. My advice, try the update. If it doesn't work the I'd say start looking into a new blue ray. They have come down a lot in price. I bought a LG blue ray and must say that it is the best one I've ever owned. Sorry I could not be more help. I hope things work out for you.

if you unplugged it and plugged it back on, and nothing positive happens.....throw it out! panasonic makes garbage dvd players. it is not the panasonic of the past. i keep 5 dvd players in the house, cause i am a movie buff., and in the past i've had all panasonic players. those days are over. i have one panasonic player left and that hiccups every eight minutes on recordable discs. on your problem, maybe you can contact panasonic.com or call them and they can send you, or you can download their software update. it didnt work for me, but it might work for you. if mechanically inclined, and not under warranty....you can take off the cover, unscrew the carriage cover and remove the disc. also sometimes, if the disc is not in the slot correctly., it could jam up, and shut itself off. my dmp-bd871 played well for 4 months, and now it will not accept any disc. i will admit, that before it went kaput, it had the best picture of any other player i've had................irene

I also own a BDP-N460 blu-ray player. At the original setup, after "activating enhanced features", a "registration code" was shown on the screen. Not knowing any better, I did not write down the number, now I wish I had. As was mentioned in an earlier post, this number does not appear again after the initial setup. The first internet service I linked with was Netflix. This has worked very well and has given me no problems. But when I tried to link with Amazon, I found that it was necessary to have the "registration code" that was now unavailable for viewing. I have talked with the techs at Amazon and everything on their side of the "link" is correctly in place for my account to make the link work. I have spent approxiamately 4-5 hours on the phone with Sony to try and find the code that I need, with no result. I have tried numerous things to find this "code" and to get it to show itself, but no luck. Note that the "registration number" (not code) can be found easily under system info as well as MAC address and other information, but this is not the number I need. I am continuing to work this issue but I seem to be at a point that without further information and help from Sony, I feel I'm at a deadend. I have talked to at least six different "techs" at Sony who have tried, but have been unable to help. I hope this can be resolved, as I would very much like to use Amazon as a rental movie supplier. Thanks.

It USED TO play both blu-ray and non blue-ray DVDs. All blu-ray players that I know of ARE SUPPOSED TO play both. After a software update, it stopped playing regular DVDs (other people mentioned this, too). After trying to find a FIX on the internet, we gave up and purchased a SAMSUNG blu-ray player. I recommend that you buy a new model (and not LG). They are inexpensive. Unless this model is FREE, you would be better off getting something else. [Note: LG might now have a correction for the software update problem. We dumped ours about 2 years ago.]

I have had the same frustrating experience, although I've not experimented with the same array of equipment as bwalter. Quite simply, I have a Pioneer Blu-Ray and (52") Plasma. And whether it's a Blu-Ray playing or a DVD being upscaled or a Region 1 or 2 disk, there's sometimes a video lag, but only sometimes! What I gather is that the plasma screen takes a little time to process its data, but it can be INCONSISTENT: It will sometimes shift within the same disk, which is why I've hesitated to buy an outboard audio delay controller. As bwalter asks, why is this problem not being seriously addressed, when clearly across the net there are many people posting complaints of this nature?

I have and do; in fact, it's been the best Blu Ray player I've used for a computer. I have a Mac and use a downloadable player. Try Different software; if that doesn't work, it might be a faulty unit.

Update: PROBLEM RESOLVED! Do you ever have those moments where you need to shove your shoe in your mouth? Well...I just did. I figured this out on my own. So glad I refused to send the BD390 in to LG for repair. Anyways, if you have this problem with any Blue Ray, try going to your home page &gt; Setup &gt; Network &gt; BD-LIVE Connection, select "Prohibited." NOW try playing the Blu-ray. Band of Brothers has internet interaction. If you do not have a good internet connection, especially if you're wireless, then your Blu-ray will not play until it connects. Hope this helps!

I've had mine for almost three years, but I didn't start using it often until recently. I had problems playing some Disney Blu-Ray disks I purchased for my son... The picture and sound would cut out intermittently when watching the movies, and it seemed to get worse each time we watched them. I figured my problem had something to do with anti-piracy nonsense, since I refused to update the firmware... A friend ended up an expensive paperweight when he did the firmware update. I solved my problem (at least so far) by taking my home theater receiver out of the loop and connecting the blu-ray player directly to the TV via HDMI. So far, so good.

I totally agree about reverting back to the previous stable version. At this point, it would be in Panasonic's best interest to keep us happy and revert back to V1.27 immediately!. I spoke with a rep today. Because the Panasonic BD players are designed to not allow downgrade to a previous (lower numbered) version of the firmware, I suggested their engineering department consider renaming the stable V1.27 to V1.44 and put it on their servers NOW. This would enable our Netflix-crippled machines to revert back to the previous version until they can fully test their new firmware.

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.

For anyone like myself who came here trying to find an answer as to why the 3D feature isn't working on your Blu-ray player, check your Output Video Format under Screen Settings. Mine was set on component, since my older TV that I had just upgraded from didn't have HDMI capability. Once I changed this setting to HDMI--voila!---, my 3D Blu-ray movie worked just fine.

I was shocked to discover that the BD370 USA model doesn't play movies from a USB drive period. Something about the software/firmware only allows access to photos/music. I read many reviews claiming support but just now realized that these reviews were coming from Europe, where the firmware differs slightly. From what I've read the BD390 can play all movies, even MKV files. I think I'm going to return my BD370 for a BD390, and now I understand why the BD390 is almost double the price.

Go to Audio/sound..Uncheck dolby digital and use normal audio. This WILL solve your problem, but you must do it for every movie you watch. I got a refund for this problem, but got to keep the blue ray. Small price for a good product :))

My Sony BDP-s550 just stopped playing blu-ray discs as well. I tried to upgrade the firmware but that failed. Sony support couldn't help me to get it working either. I ended up throwing it in the trash. This was very frustrating. I will definitely not buy another Sony blu-ray player.

Thank you, Matt. I'll be hooking the player up to the internet today will do the update straight away. I've only had the player for a couple of weeks but so far no problems and I love the difference in the picture. I really hadn't expected such a large difference. Haven't tried non Blu-Ray yet.
