After browsing at Internet I found this is a common failure for this device. After a year and a half, my BD player stop working, a "No Disc" error mesaage is displayed for any disk inserted into the player. I did a firmware upgrade and tried a lot of options witouth any result.
Looking at other's comments this seems to be a common complaint. The AV sync is often wrong but at least you can modify it easily. I tried several different disks (including DVDs) and each time the device complains that no disk was inserted. What's even worse is that, 16 months after buying it, it suddenly ceased working whilst watching a Blu Ray disk.
This Blu Ray so picture quality is obviously good. Sony will do an exchange with a refurbished unit but, because I'm out of warranty, I'll have to pay $112. My bet is that the laser has died. The setup menu is pretty and works well.
It just stopped reading disk. I've opted to buy a new Panasonic BD65 instead for $114. Adjusting settings whilst watching a disk is also easy. What's not so good is that almost every disk doesn't permit you to resume watching after stopping.
I highly recommend this player you won't be disappointed. Got this player at a great price and I have never seen such nice picture quality.
Well, Sony repaired it since it still had warranty, and I got it back. It also has trouble playing movies at standard format. I bought this blu-ray player in Feb-09 and ever since I had trouble with it; it constantly needs new firmware updates, because as new movies come out, they require newer firmware. It played only 2 blu-ray disks, and afterwards it does not play them anymore. What a waste of $299+tax.My boyfriend has a cheap blu-ray player for a year now, it plays everything without any problems/updates. Its a pain and disappoinment because you bring a movie home, but can't watch for another week or so untill you get new firmware from Sony (make a call, request it). Soon after, it broke and stopped playing blu-ray disks at all.
For blue-ray disks it does not automatically return where you left off after stopping the machine. It functions well.
