Have you tried unplugging it? Sometimes my model freezes up and I have to unplug it and replug it.

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

Nope, I've never had a problem with mine. Did you lose power by any chance? Maybe the surge blew. Try unplugging it and plugging it back into a different outlet.

Yes I have, I finally unplugged it and left it that way for a day and then plugged it back in and was able to get the disc out. By the way you will soon come to regret buying this item, I hate it because it is so temperamental, but can't justify buying a different one until it completely breaks.

Did you also unplug the player? It sounds crazy but electronics these days are very sensitive. It works for me 99.9.

I contacted Sony support and this is what they said:"I'm sorry that the resume playback feature of the Blu-ray Disc player does not work. Sometimes, the player may not resume playback depending on the disc or stop point."Not very helpful. Not sure yet if this happens on all BD disc but it happens on Casino Royal, which is Sony produced... Very lame IMO.

Funny you should ask Peter. I've been trying for over three weeks, to figure out how to get the DVD player to do anything. Obviously I'm not the one they should have guided you to. Sorry.

Like many dvd players, if you press the eject button two or more times before the player initiates the eject mechanism, it freezes and keeps the door closed. Usually this only happens for a few seconds and then it releases again and you're able to eject the disc. (It happened to me once) If it still is frozen and unable to eject even after a few minutes, usually unplugging it, waiting 15-30 seconds and plugging it back in will allow you to then eject the disc. (had that happen with my old Sony dvd player)

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.

Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.

Good answer, Sandra. Unless the player won't reboot or the screen is dark, popping the disc out and then back in should do the trick.

This happened to me as well, when trying to play a home-burned DVD-R on an older Sony DVD player. Many of the players that are more than about 5 years old don't seem to recognize DVD-R burned discs, only commercial "pressed" DVDs. The only thing I was able to do was buy an inexpensive newer DVD player (I got a new Sony player for about $40) and it plays all of my home-burned discs just fine.

No, Paul, you are not the only to have to do this. In addition, because my remote is intermittant, sometimes I have to get up and press PLAY on the player. I tried another Sony DVD remote, it worked but had the same problems so I believe it's the player that's at fault. It's still a great player for the $30 I paid for it. Great picture quality, features, and plays scratched DVDs!!!! All the best.

probably not this player repeatedly shut off on its own not sure what the problem is but i read reviews where other people had the same issue

My unit has never done that. I know some players have a feature that will turn the unit off after a period of inactivity but that can be changed in the settings. I've never had this Blu-Ray player turn on by itself so I'm not sure about that part. Either there is a glitch in the player's computer.... or the machine is haunted. If so, call those ghost hunter guys. They won't accomplish anything but you'll get to be on television.

I haven't tried this app. I am only using it to play discs. I have had problems even with that. First one was freezing. Second one had audio issues. Haven't received the third one yet. Customer service has been difficult. Seriously regretting my decision to purchase this player.

I had this problem with Netflix discs. Note that there is a second firmware update, which might help. Also, when I talked to Sharp, they suggested I unplug the player, and then run the setup and select the reset option. That seems to work, also. I've just ordered another blu-ray from Netflix. I'm hoping the new firmware update fixes the "locking" problem.

Has he installed any third party reps on xbmc if so he might have to install them again! Bit bits nothing he can't install again :) but here's how you do it! Unplug the the power cord on back of the box and with a tooth pick poke the reset button in where the the power cord conects to the box . Then conect the power cord to the box and turn it on again it will take you to the reset menu and just press enter it will restart like new :)

It worked for me, actually replaced two drives. If I remember correctly, however, the first time it didn't work for the GC game. I think I turned the Wii off and back on again a few minutes later and it worked fine. I may have disconnected and reconnected the drive and it worked but pretty sure it was just a power-cycle of the Wii.

You are right, it is linked to the BD-Live option, but if you reset of inactivate BD-Live, it goes away. I have 2 player, the BDT215 and BD85K and I have no issues till date. The freezing, pixelating issue seems to be a disc issue. Some players can play slighly imperfect disc better. But this is possibly the best player on market currently.

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?
