Tone tests & calibration through the receiver itself work. A Blu-Ray DVD, w/their audio setup doesn't Player, Receiver, or Disney BD issue?

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

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

My player doesn't upscale very well at all. And, I am hooked up using HDMI. No way does Blu-ray Disc compare to HD DVD. I used to have an HD-XA2 and an HD A35 and those players were amazing at upscaling. Sometimes you couldn't tell the difference between high-def and standard def.

I just received my LG BH200 (Blu-ray and HD DVD combo player) back from LG. The unit did not work out of the box so I sent it in for repair. They replaced the main board and loaded the latest firmware. The latest firmware (12/08) does not support BD-R/AVCHD discs. I tried several times and finally looked around www.avsforum.com and found the April 08 firmware is the latest that still supports BD-R/AVCHD playback. So I downgraded the firmware and an AVCHD DVD plays fine. I'm not sure where LG is on BD-R support with the BD300. Check out AVS forum.FYI, my HD camcorder does not record AVCHD format, but Ulead VideoStudio 11.5+ can author it. I just received my LG BH200 (Blu-ray and HD DVD combo player) back from LG.

I didn't play with it enough to see if the Bluray INPUTS sounds from the HDMI. (I believe the HDMI is for output.) The optical digital is easy to pipe any sound that would normally be coming out of the TV into the bluray. ie VCR, Wii, laptop. Set the bluray on "TV" and it plays whatever the TV speakers would be playing. (I'll have to check if there is an "HDMI input" mode on the Bluray.)-Will

Beats me. All I know is that your output must be strictly optical digital or it won't work. Apparently JVC couldn't come up with the technology to differentiate between pcm and dolby sound. I have it hooked to the analog which is at least better then the lousy speakers on the TV.

I talked to Sony Support people and the problem is not the Blu-Ray. The player is working just fine, but since it is connected to a Home Theater, the receiver needs to be updated in order to play 3D movies. So, If some of you have a similar problem, Don't panic!!!, check the Blu-Ray firmware as well as the home theater.

I have since received the cd-rom from Panasonic to upgrade my DMP-BD35 blue-ray player and that solved the problem. It is now properly upgraded with the Version.7 firmware upgrade. If there are others having a similar problem upgrading their firmware, contact Panasonic.

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.

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.

Ananth, I too had an issue with my pioneer dvd player not reproducing Dolby Digital. It would play DD from the Dish box and usually sounded great. This was one of several "quirks" that made me return this unit.

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!).

FYI yes it does. If the audio feed from the Blu Ray goes into the tv audio input then audio out from the tv will enter sp 120 audio.input via optical.or phono hookup and it works. Just the same thanks for responding.

Your Blu-Ray player is decoding the audio and passing that signal to your receiver. Since the receiver is not decoding a True HD signal in the case it won't light up. If you want to see True HD light up, set your Blu-Ray to output bitstream. It really makes no difference, you still end up with the same output in the end.

i have the same issue, it doesnt happen on all discs, and some are louder than others. i own sveral bd players including the s580 the model right below ths one and none of them have this issue, so i dont know if its normal forthis particular unit or not but it is very annoying

None yet. Given I've had it only a few days. I tested it out with a few different songs, rap, and rock to test the different levels, and so far so good. The best sound that I got from it was from any blu ray movie that was playing, it sounds better than the television (which is still awesome).
