Why is this listed as a 3D Blu-ray Disc A/V Receiver when it doesn't have a blu-ray disc player function?

On the remote, press the bd/dvd button. Make sure you have your bd player connected to your Audio-return capable tv properly. It only works in this fashion. Good luck.

If you have a 3d player hooked up to the unit then the 3d signal will be passed cleanly thru to the tv. Further its only useable with a tv with an arc hdmi input. The 3d player will detect that it is hooked up to the tv thru this audio return channel and then will display 3d. If you have an input set to [on the Sony] something other than the dvd player when first turned on then the 3d player will not detect 3d tv function and might give a no 3d tv detected code. Just make sure input on Sony is correct and trun dvd off and back on and it will then reset to dectect 3d tv.

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

This system doesn't have a blu-ray/DVD player, but I do use a 3D player hooked up to this via HDMI and it works great. You will still need something additional to actually play the disc.

Not sure, really... but it might be because this model doesn't have an optical drive.

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.

Most DVD/Blu-Ray players don't have audio video inputs, only outputs. It would have to be a combination Blu-Ray and receiver.

No, it's not 3d.Try looking up the "Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi"

This Blu-Ray player does not require a 3-D TV to function properly. It works with our HDTV just fine and it plays both regular DVD's and Blu-Ray discs with equal efficiency.

Something like the Samsung BD-F5900 3D Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player (2013 Model) should do the trick. Higher priced models have more features that you may or may not be interested in.

The player I received only plays older blu-ray movies because the software that came with it was from 2007 and doesn't support current movies.

A blu ray 3D player hooks up the same way you would hook up a regular dvd player. There are places in the back of the tv for the hook ups.

It does not have blu-ray, dvd-rom or cd-rom. It has an HDMI output and bluetooth.

The LN52B630 isn't listed as a qualifying model for the free blu-ray player...how'd u guys make it work?!

This model does not. If you want a Blu-Ray reader, you need to order it from SONY's website...

You do not have to play 3D movies but it is capable of playing them. This player will also play standard Blu Ray as well as dvd's. It also plays dvd+ and dvd- recorded discs as well as many other discs such as picture, music and mp3 encoded discs.

If your tv is not 3d you can't watch 3d movies even with a 3d blu ray, the tv does not have the capability to transmit 3d
