20 Most Recent Sony BDP-BX2 Blu-Ray Player Questions & Answers

Usually this noise is the result of a bad cable. Unplug to see if noise goes away. If so, try different cables.Has solved that problem for me several times over the years.

Sometimes the latest update IS the problem, not the solution. If possible go back to an earlier version and retry the disks. Many of the answers here about power down and the like are all good and sometimes helpful things to do. They also point to the fact there isn't much a consumer can do to fix or repair malfunctioning DVD/Blu-Ray players and it always comes down to cost. Do you want to repair or replace. You've had your unit, you say, about 3 years? I think this is about end of life. Anyway, try the previous software version and if that works turn automatic update off.

Here is a link to the owners manual. Go to page 53 specifically for "resetting" to factory standards. I hope this helps : )

Hi,
It seems firmware update process got interrupted and caused SYS ERR display.
Please try to update again by directly connecting it to internet Ethernet cable and if that does not solve the issue then I'm afraid unit will go to Sony for proper treatment as its beyond user level fix.
Thanks.

The latest update version is .008. Yes, you most likely need to do this. I have done two update so far. Ver. .006 and .008. Both times this solved my disc problem. On one of my disc for the newest version, I put the disc in and it could not read it. I was really surprise and put in back in again and it played. I've come to the conclusion that many disc pressing are not very good and some of the Blu-ray players are more finicky about reading that bad pressing. Exchanging the disc for another sometimes works.

I have Avatar Blu-ray movie and it plays on my BDP-BX2 11.4.006 version. Take it back and get it exchanged. Try new one. May have to go to another store since the same shipments (bulk) that are at your store are ALL the same. I have done this 4 times with 4 different movies and 2 of them worked. I'm getting the .008 update but, I'm starting to think the Blu-ray disc are the problem since I have one that is made in Mexico??? I don't think they are all being made correctly. Too Cheap!
