Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray playback problems
Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray playback problems
We have posted video footage of Blu-ray player problems on the Samsung BD-P1000 in the past. This time around, we have a clip from a user having issues with The Pirates Of The Caribbean Blu-ray Liar’s Dice game on the Sony BDP-S1 Blu-ray player.

Update that Blu-ray player firmware!
The problem is likely due to an issue with the Sony BDP-S1 players’ handling of BD-J, the interactive Blu-ray Java specifications. The author of the video appears to have updated the firmware to version 1.6, but that did not fix the playback problems as you can see from the video. Luckily, firmware update 2.0 is now available for that player, which should resolve these playback issues. You can get the 2.0 firmware update online at Sony.com.

I have problems with my Sony BDP-S301 player palying the movie of the Incredible Hulk bd if any body knows of a solution. The problem is that when I select to play the movie the FBI warning comes out and then the PG-13 blue screen, but when the movie is about to start it freezes and turns off my BDP-S301.
Any Help will be realy appreciated
Thanks

You should update your firmware on your BDP-S301. If that doesn’t fix the issue, return the Incredible Hulk Blu-ray Disc and try another one. Some discs are defective.

I’ve had the same issues with Kung Fu Panda. I’ve returned it twice now. If it happens on the third time I’m going back to dvd
