Sony BDP-S300 - "No Disc" Has anyone been able to resolve the problem that the player refuses to accept any disc (displays "No Disc", even when a disc is loaded), including a new firmware disc?

I'm not sure if this will help this problem, but LG does have a new firmware update for this player. It can be found on their website LG_BD_7303M51.ROM. It's a pretty recent update that came out on 12/5/12 so it may fix the problem. Here's the link: http://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-BP200#

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

I also have an older Sony 6 disc player.(a little newer than yours) Mine also failed and the speakers crapped out. This new player is, in my opinion, much better and a great replacement

Gustav, oppodigital.com certainly provides updates for your BDP-95. If your player is connected to the internet you can set it to update automatically or at your instruction. Be warned though, depending on your firmware version, you might not want to update. The older firmware can play ISO but that functionality was removed. BDP-95s that have the firmware that plays ISO were commanding a premium at one time. I wouldn't update the firmware unless you're having a problem. I have never updated mine and it has played every disc without problems. Good luck!

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

Thanks Matt! Let me know if you get WoO to play. Would adding a flash drive have any benefit??? I too contacted Sony and got transferred 3 times - never getting any help from anyone I talked to.

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 purchased an extended warranty on my Sony BD player. It is 18 months old and has completely died. I purchased it at Circuit City which is of course now defunct. I have been trying to deal with the warranty company that took over from CC - and it has been a nightmare.I will never purchase an extended warranty on a BD player again!

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

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?

Burketop, I'd like to know where you found that Samsung players play PAL? Because I have a BDr-D25052 which play all types of DVD & BluRay but NOT PAL and a chat with Samsung support advised ALL their players SOLD IN THE USA are REGION A and will NOT play PAL. So far not much luck trying to unlock it and make it region free. Thanks for any guidance!

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Looking in on the subject - the problem is the disc maker and the software used. They have to put the resume play on the disc. I got a Samsung 1500 and only one title "Wanted" will resume. All Disney, Dreamworks, a WB will not. Check out the player's marking to see if it helps. I have been asking Samsung if a firmware update could fix the blu-ray disc's failure to authorize resume. Then again, Sony just might have fixed the whole system to prevent firmware work-arounds. Go figure.
