My sony player will not play some blueray movies. what do i need to do?

My guess is it was not designed to play blueray! With out make and model that is the best answer I can give.

If that is the case here are a few possible replacements:

Samsung BD J5100 ZA Streaming Blu ray Player Black

Sony BDPS3500 Streaming Wi Fi Built In Blu ray Player Black

Sony BDPS1500 Streaming Blu ray Player Black

SONY CORPORATION Sony DVP SR510H Black DVD Player

Sounds like your blue ray player is defective

Ok first you need a blueray player not a dvd/cd rw drive. The blueray play will come with software for you to install that will install the proper codecs for you movies. This software will have to be updated periodically.

The blueray eye is out. You will need a new blueray player. The only problem with that is the ps3 will only respond with the orginal parts it came with. ( i.e. motherboard blueray player ) So the best bet is to buy a broken blueray player and take the eye out and replace it with yours just the eye not the whole thing.

Check ur movie Rating like PG,PG 13, R,NT 17 on the Blu ray player.Check might have children lock passwords require on it?

With people downloading movies illegally, companies have put blocks on DVD's, unfortunately making the DVD unplayable for some blue-ray players

The most likely cause of your frustration with the BDP-S350 is that your player's firmware is not the most current. Most often, the firmware problem is JAVA related and will not let the menus load at all, but freezing during playback has also been reportedly fixed with the firmware upgrade.

The solution is to go to sony's website, download the firmware upgrade, burn it to a disc and then load the disc into the player to fix it.

I hope that helps.

Hi

This certainly looks like a potential firmware issue especially if the Audio is there on the previews. There are reports also of recent firmware updates causing problems on some other Sony BDP units.

You might want to try a Blueray cleaning disk which you can purchase from any good Audio store first to ensure there is not a problem with dirt on the lens that may be causing this. Simply insert and play like a normal disk and it provides a cleansing action to the lens.

Otherwise my advice is to contact Sony directly to discuss the matter and find out if there have been any recent firmware issues.

The most recent update for your unit is firmware version 4.9 and this was released on 12th June 2009

The support phone number for Sony Blueray Players is 239-768-7547

Hope this helps. Please do rate this answer. Many Thanks.

you need a new blueray laser
