I can't get the player to play 3D blurays even after updating the firmware. TV plays 3D from Comcast and is set to autodetect 3D signals.Help?

I have successfully played 3D Blu-ray with Sony NSZ-GT1, but I have to manually set the 3D type on the TV. You might want to try manually setting 3D type on the TV settings. Also you can find a lot of free support from regular owners of Google TV at GoogleTVForum.org

Have you updated the keys? Connect the player up to a network and then go into settings and update the player firmware. This will automatically update the keys for blu ray discs.

Good afternoon. I have updated the firmware to the most recent edition and am able to play all bluray disc so far with the exception of 'underworld rise of the lycans. We really would like to be able to watch this movie. We have tried two different disc. Any thoughts?

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.

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it.I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

make sure the proper cables are in the correct plugs. make sure you have the television on the correct station. and terribly obvious, make sure its an HD tv. Hope this helps. I also recommend buying a different brand blu ray player.

Problem solved.....apparently al that was required is to first connect the device to a tv, the updated firmware was already installed...no need to download firmware.....

Call vizio support, they will be able to help you. Maybe your firmware is not update. My son is playing Xbox connected to it, without any problems. By the way are you able to connect your laptop to it as may be your settings need to be tweaked.

There are no further firmware updates for this model. I ran into a similar problem, although my unit wouldn't load a Blu-Ray at all, much less play it. After much frustration looking for a non-existent solution, I got a nice Panasonic Blu-Ray player - that does Internet TV *much* better, I might add - and now can enjoy my Blu-Rays while still using the rest of the Samsung unit's "home theatre" functions, which pretty much boil down to the sound system at this point. The short answer is yes, it's crap.

You might try upgrading the firmware on your current player -- that may solve your disc compatibility problems

Yes it is firmware upgradeable but if you do that you will cause the player not to play all the blu-ray regions. Was told not to do a firmware upgrade on mine or lose playing all the regions on the blu-rays.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

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.

I just purchased the Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray players and I'm having the same problem as posted by C. Wagnon; anyone out there has a solution! If I can't use the wifi connection, I'll be returning the darn player!

Like the other answer make sure you have the latest firmware and also make sure you are using the 1.4 version HDMI cable. I bought mine over a year ago and I did not do an update and I have no issues.
