30ft is a long length of cable if you have cheap cable you might need to buy a higher quality high speed cable. I had an issue with my hd66 and my samsung 6800 bluray player where if I only sent the projector 720p everything was ok but if I sent the projector 1080p to be down scaled I got snow and distortion in the image and this was at 25ft, I bought a new 25ft bluerigger high speed hdmi cable and now no problems perfect image.

For my setup, before the firmware update, right after I hooked it up to my tv for the first time, the TV's video would constantly turn on, then go black for long periods, it was unusable. I temporarily solved it by using my TV's dvi port and an dvi to hdmi cable. After the firmware update and finally doing the receiver setup the screen going black still occurs, but only about 20% of the time on all inputs, except my ps3, which still exhibits the constant black screen problem. I have a PS3, Roku 3, Chromecast, HTPC connected to a Westinghouse monitor. Called Sony about the problem, and was told to ship, my week old receiver, to them at my own expense, for diagnosis.

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.

Thats a long freeze. I've never had one like that but I had plenty when I was using this player. It would freeze for about 10 seconds in several Blu-ray movies I owned. I've only heard about it from a handful of people so I'm wondering if random players are leaving the factory bad. Can you get a decent Blu-ray player for under 200 bucks? I had a Samsung before this that had Audio sync problems. At this point I have like 15 Blu-ray discs and no player. I refuse to pay more than 200 for one as I could spend a little more than that and build a Home Theater PC.

WTH!My HD DVD players will start at the point where you stop it.Of course since they don't make HD DVD any more because Sony cornered the market on High Definition DVD's we're stuck with their problematic Bluray disc players.And why can't they make a bluray that can also play a HD DVD?Anyway thanks for the feedback Knocker!

Hi,Can somebody tell me if this Mitsubishi adapter works between Sony BDP-S570 3D blu-ray player and Viewsonic PJD-6531D 3D DLP 120Hz projector please...?I am currently having 3D blu-ray disc, but not able to play 3D between these two... and not able to understand where the problem is? with Sony BD player or Viewsonic Projector? Would be great if this adapter can fill the gap between Sony and Viewsonic as above and I can watch 3D movies...Thanks a lot for your time in answering my question...

Update: PROBLEM RESOLVED! Do you ever have those moments where you need to shove your shoe in your mouth? Well...I just did. I figured this out on my own. So glad I refused to send the BD390 in to LG for repair. Anyways, if you have this problem with any Blue Ray, try going to your home page &gt; Setup &gt; Network &gt; BD-LIVE Connection, select "Prohibited." NOW try playing the Blu-ray. Band of Brothers has internet interaction. If you do not have a good internet connection, especially if you're wireless, then your Blu-ray will not play until it connects. Hope this helps!

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

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.

Samsung BD-P1600 1080p Blu-ray Disc PlayerNumerous instances of video freezing and skipping upon playback of blu-ray discs.Recently, could not get audio to play back properly on two copies of Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs blu-ray received from Netflix. Video worked fine; audio in English sounded corrupted, but audio was fine when switched to foreign language options. Anybody else had that issue?

Hi Gary. I'm running two Sony blu-ray players to my Sony 4K 70". One has 4K upscaling, connected through a 4K upscaling Yamaha home media amp (model 1030) whereby I utilized two high priced Monster Black Premium HDMI cables. The other player is a few years older and does not have 4K upscaling. It is connected the same way with these Mediabridge cables and the difference is almost, if not entirely undetectable. I attribute any discrepancy, however minute, to the fact that it is a non-4K upscaling player. In fact, I just went through a whole stack of James Bond flicks on the older player. They are rated for 4K and you can trust these folks. They stand behind their product.

I have this same issue with an earlier model (BDP-S350). For me the problem began when my blu-ray player automatically updated its firmware last spring. Even blu-ray disks that played fine earlier stopped playing, although many of the new disks that I've tried work fine. Sony appears to be oblivious to this issue not providing any meaningful customer support. There are several possible solutions posted on the SONY website and on various discussion forums for other models (e.g, turn off the Internet access, clear the USB jump drive memory, unplug the unit from the AC power for a minute or two). None of them worked in my case. I finally gave up and bought a new Panasonic player; out of principle I persisted in trying to 'fix' my Sony blu-ray player for quite a while and eventually decided to pay a few buck to buy my way out of the aggravation). Bye, bye Sony products, hello Panasonic (They also burned me years ago for discontinuing support [e.g., driver updates] for one of their expensive Vaio computers.).

Well I don't remember if the Blue ray player has Component conections on it or not, but if your flat screen dose have then ,and the Sony BD player has them that would be the next best thing , being that means you would get 1080 I at least, not as good as 1080 P but still pretty dame good, I hope that helps you out

Thanks for the info Kevin, just got back from a huge dvd store here and I noticed a lot of Blu Ray discs marked 'all regions' (1,2,3) on the back of them so Sony may be trying relax restrictions for now to corner the market here. I also just found out that's it's pointless getting a blu-ray and/or hd-dvd player as my 3 year old 43" Pioneer Plasma with external hig def set top box can only output 1024 X 768 pixels max, so I wouldn't visibly see blu-rays or hd-dvd's 1080p potential...think I'm better off just getting a good upscaling dvd player & a good hdmi cable. Except for PS2, dvd players/recorders sold here are region free out of the box anyway. Will look out for Oppo but don't think it's sold here.

Does your blu ray player have the setting for the Audio Out set as Optical Cable. I know my PS3 Has the Video out as HDMI, and Audio Out as Optical. So Basically Same set up as you, but no HDMI from Home Theater to TV as I use my PS3 to play DVD's.
