I had similar problems with my Dish UHF remote until I discovered that more than a touch on the remote buttons is required. Not that you need to hold them down, just press firmly and release - not just a quick stab. I hope this makes sense, and that you try it and it works for you. If not...

Well, it sure seems like most of you have had very good luck with Sony. For me, I'm happy to report that the exact same movie that caused my Sony blu-ray player to have fits plays perfectly on my new Panasonic. Bottom line, if you like Sony products and have had good luck with them, that's...

I don't consider myself an expert on this, but I have achieved excellent results, to my ears anyway, with Klipsch speakers in the 3 front positions, and some older Boston (acoustics) speakers for the surround and back surround speakers. My sub is a Velodyne ULD, also older. So for me, it isn't...

Heh, I didn't have the thing long enough to abuse it!:laugh: Bob

My original conjecture that maybe I was just the bad luck kid seems to be true. It looks like there are plenty of you out there who have had many trouble free Sony products. I did not mean to slam Sony in the first place; I just wondered what others had experienced. Thanks for all the...

I also considered that the disc could have been the problem, but I closely inspected the disc and there was no discernible damage. Not mentioned in my original post is the fact that I tried to play the disc again after I first posted and was rewarded with the same result, only in an entirely...

I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their Sony products besides me. I've finally given up on Sony after problems going back 10 years. It started with my E9000ES pre/pro, which spent a couple of months in the shop for warranty repairs before it finally worked correctly; continued...

I'm with Nathan on this one - a firmware update disc directly from Sony did not correct the audio problems. I ended up buying a Panasonic, and I'm trying to return the Sony, considering that I've only had it less than a month. The last three Sony products I've had have all had problems. A...

OK everybody - after hearing and reading about the problems with this Sony player, I just bought a Panasonic DMP-BD35 player to replace it. Nothing I hate more than sitting down to enjoy a movie and then having to fuss and fiddle with the equipment, and the Panasonic was my first choice anyway...

Wow! I sure hope this player isn't 'junk', although I've experienced similar problems at times with other products. Maybe if the problem IS with the player, a future firmware update will fix it. If not, well, there goes another few hundred bucks. I'll keep using it for a while and see what...

It can't be the speaker wire, as the center speaker has been working fine for years, and nothing in the wiring has been changed. My suspicion is that it has something to do with the HDMI, or possibly a problem with the disc. When I get time I'll watch another blu-ray movie and see if it happens...

I had all the cables off today, but haven't tried it since I put it back together. Wife in hospital, so not much time right now. Is there a history of HDMI cables working sometimes and not others? I thought they either worked, or not. But thanks for the suggestion. If it continues, I may buy a...

Last night I was watching my first Blu-Ray movie, The Bucket List, and several times during the movie, the sound on the center channel dropped down so low that you could barely hear it. The other channels seemed to be working fine. The player is a Sony BDP-S550 and the pre/pro is an Integra DTC...
