Panasonic bluray suddenly says can't read disc, disc incompatible. It does play standard dvds and my photos and ipod..Sometimes when pressing "play" it turns on the player and the tv and the disc stars ok. It all seems hit and miss.I've tried to update the firmware with a disc of the latest revision but when part way thro the update it turned the player offf without ejecting the disc and now I can't tell what revision it is as the screen says try later.

There are several things you can do to try and solve your problem: Make sure that the DVDs you try to play are encoded for the right region. Make sure that the transportation lock (usually a plastic screw on the bottom of the unit), is not engaged. Turn off player with disc inserted, unplug temporarily from wall outlet, plug back in and turn back on.

Sound like the firmware needs to be updated for the newer encryption schemes had the same problem with my bd-hp21u with a couple of new bd discs. You will need a 1gb or smaller USB drive to put the updated firmware on which Sharp doesen't tell you. The rest is in the manual or available from sharp support.
