Hi. Just purchased TRON Blu-ray and when start playing the disc, it simple blocks when define the disc language (first menu). Exchanged the disc in the store by a new one, but the problem remains. I've also experienced some quality problems wacthing Avatar (after checking the blu-ray disc is fine, as was watched in another device). Should I update the firmware? Would it help? Thanks Pedro

Tell me this: do you have an owners manual. How have you connected your player to the TV (in detail please). I specialize in simple answers.

Hi we had the same problem have you tried going into home menu/ initial setup/go down to playback/find BDMV/BDAV playback priority and make sure BDMV is highlighted and all should be OK.

Hope this helps if not could be a drive failure but try this first.

Press the stop button on your controller when you get to the Disney castle, then press the disc menu button on your controller, this should take you to the disc menu and then you can choose play and watch the movie. This worked for me, I was having the same problem, even returned the Bluray disc, got a new one and same thing happened. The same problem is happening with the Tron bluray discs.

From this problem's description I have to assume that either the blu ray player will not play blu rays or the blu ray player will play blu rays but only in 1080i/720p or that you want to know if this blu ray player supports the 1080p resolution.

If the blu ray player is not playing blu rays then you update the firmware and try multiple purchased discs to make sure nothing is wrong with the ones you have been trying. If blu rays that played once will no longer play, then you will need to reset the blu ray player from its menu and possibly by holding down the power button on the front of the unit until the word reset displays on the unit before trying to play the disc again.

If the television is not showing 1080p make sure you are connected with an hdmi cable and that it is the right version hdmi cable for this blu ray player and for your television. Make sure you have chosen 1080p as the resolution to display in the blu ray player's menu. If all of that has been done and 1080p will still not display then it is a case of incompatibility between manufacturers--Sharp and whatever the television is. It would display in 1080p on a Sharp television and most likely on a Samsung and Sony as well. With other brands and even some models of the aforementioned brands (except for Sharp) its a toss up.

hi,
may be of upgrading problem or all blue ray disc won't play in all players. if a blue ray plays on a blue ray player may will not work in another one and vise versa. not all the discs some one.
ok

If you hit "Disc Menu" on the remote just as the fireworks start, you won't have to go through the entire Previews section, and then the disc seems to work fine...

You will need a 2GB usb device a.k.a. a flash drive. You will need access to the sharp web site. You can call 800-237-4277 any time between 9AM-7PM CST today or 7AM-7PM tomorrow to be walked through the software update you need from start to finish.

Try this....
You need to force the player to the the Top Menu of the disc.
The way to do this is: load disc, wait until it says "Reading Completed" (about 1 minute).

Wait for the PLAY icon ">" to show in the upper right corner (this may take up to 30-40 secs).

Once you see the ">" Hit the STOP button on the remote to get to the player's splash screen.

From the Sharp splash screen Hit the "Top Menu/Title List" button on the remote and wait for the circulating dots and then the disc menu appears.
Play the movie from the menu and you should be good to go.

I would start with a firmware update (2.60) and also a full system restore. That should fix the problem. Let me know. I'm a PS3 expert!
