Insignia blu-ray player NS-BRDVD3 sound issues

I'm having issues with sound levels when using the Insignia player. Sometimes the sound fades and I can turn the volume all the way up on my tv and still not be able to hear it real well. This is sporadic but only happens when I am using the blu-ray player, both watching a dvd or watching netflix.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have it hooked to a Vizio LCD with HDMI cable.

I have experienced the same problem with Netflix streaming. It looks like the current "fix" for this problem is to connect with component cables and not a HDMI cable. A firmware solution is aparently in the offing from information I've gleaned from the Inginia forums. Not entirely satisfying, but it has worked so far for me.

Connecting Insignia Blue Ray Player to Home Wireless Network

OK, I am having problems connecting my Insignia Blue Ray Player to my home wireless network. Under network settings I was able to connect to the network, but it can't seem to acquire an IP address. All the other devices connected to the network are working. I'm not very proficient at this obviously, but does anyone have any thoughts?

If there is a configuration option on the BD player, set it to auto.

Insignia Blu Ray with Yamaha Reciever

I have and Insignia blu-ray player NS-WBRDVD and a Yamaha HTR-6030 receiver. The receiver doesn't have a HDMI input but it does have two optical and one coaxial input along with a bunch of others.
I connected the bluray optical out into the Yamaha DTV/CBL optical in. I do get a PCM indicator symbol on the reciever but I only get sound out of the front left and right speakers, also on the speaker indicators only those two ight up.
I ran the basic set up test and I get sound out of all of the speakers one at a time as the receiver runs the test.
I also notice that I don't get the DTS symbol to light up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eddie

What output setting is the receiver set for i.e. Dolby Prologic, Stereo, 6.1/7.1 Channel? I would need to know what each setting is on the DVD player for audio out and the receiver.

Surround Sound Not Working Correctly Since Connecting New Blu-Ray Player

I recently purchased a Sony VIZIO VBR200W Blu-Ray Player to go with my VIZIO VL420M LCD HDTV, and am having some audio issues. I have a RCA RT2770 Home Theater System, which is connected to the TV through the audio in/out composite (RCA) audio cables (audio in is to the RCA system, audio out is to the TV). The Blu-Ray Player and the XBox 360 are connected directly to the TV using HDMI cables. The problem is the sound coming out of the speaker system is a bit distorted when using the Blu-Ray player. I've also noticed quite a bit of feedback coming from both the TV speakers and the surround speakers when the TV screen is bright (loading menu's of movies, Netflix Instant Queue, etc.). I never had any issues with the sound from the 360, which has been hooked up this way since day one. Any suggestions on how to get the sound to be clearer?
OK, now I'm starting to worry that the feedback I got earlier caused some kind of picture quality issues in the TV itself! Before I make a fool of myself for asking stupid questions, is this even a possability? Help!!!

dumb question - but does your rca home theater have an optical input on the back of it? it will look like a trapazoid cover with sometimes the words "audio in"

No More Surround Sound on Blu-ray player after Upgrade in MediaSmart

When I used the Blu-ray player in my home theatre I selected the "HDMI pass through" mode to get surround sound. I came across some new movies that would not play and after the update from HP the player would simply freeze up as soon as there was audio present. I had to go into the task manager to shut it down.
MediaSmart works fine on the laptop, but it only freezes up when I use the "HDMI pass through" setting.
I have tried "HDMI pcm" mode and that doesn't work either. The Denon receiver shows there are five channels working but I only get stereo sound out of the front left and right speakers. This would indicate that the Blu-ray player is not outputting in 5.1 surrond sound and that the laptop and the Denon receiver is working fine.
Hp supports' solution was to reinstall the old driver or try a system restore. I know a system restore isn't going to do anything. The problem is in the new software. The new software did not work on my HDX18 when it was in Vista, it didn't work when I upgraded to Windows 7 and it doesn't on my new dv8.
I tried contacting CyberLink to let them know that the upgrade is giving problems, but I think they are ignoring me.
Personally I think that either HP or Cyberlink just forgot to add the drivers for 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound.
If someone were to find a solution to this one I would be surprised. I am quite certain I covered every possibility, but you never know.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK, I found a solution. SORT OF. I use the laptop to watch region "B" Blu-ray movies that I buy out of England. Rather than set Media Smart to region "B" I purchased software from SlySoft.com. When the software is running it removes the region code and all that annoying copy protection. Fox is the worst, followed by Walt Disney. (Pixar Animation and Buena Vista) One specific movie that would not play on the old Media Smart software was "Ice Age 3 Dawn Of The Dinosaurs. When I tried, a red window came up prompting me to go to Cyberlink for an update. Of course after that the movie would play, but I had no surround sound in my home theatre.
So now I use the old Media Smart software and run SlySoft...no more red window...I have surround sound in my theatre through HDMI pass through.
The problem with this solution is that Slysoft costs around 114.00$ U.S. for a life time membership and free updates forever. HMMM.

E3000 Bizarre Issue... WIRED Blu-Ray Player Causes WiFi To Be Disabled

I have had numerous issues with my E3000 since I got about two months ago and they have all been resolved with the exception of this new one that popped up today.
My Samsung Blu-ray player is connected firectly via ethernet cable to the router. When it's on, I lose all conenctivity to the router with my wireless devices including three PC's, a PS3, two iPhones, one iPad, one Samsung Smart TV, one XBOX 360 and an Onkyo Receiver. When I say that I lose connectivity, I don't mean that I lose access to the Internet. My PC's see the network but cannot connect to it, the same goes for the Apple devices. The moment I shut off the Samsung BD player it kicks right back on and works normally. Until today, this never occurred.
I contacted Tech Support and they had never heard of this happening before. They suggested that I change the ethernet cable which I did while the unit was on and it worked until I turned the BD player off and turned it back on again. I also tried switching ports to no avail. Alos all of the software is up to date on both the router and the BD player.
Does anyone have any ideas about this? I'm going to call Tech Support back on this again but I thought I'd check here first to see if anyone else has had this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Well, try the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
         4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Sony Blu Ray Player connect issue

Just added a Sony BDP S350 Blu Ray player to my network via a WGA54G. It appears I can connect to BD Live sites but not Sony's firmware update server. I can connect to that server when I go wired directly through the DSL modem. I have also tried to connect through the router and a cat line but no luck. I use DHCP and WEP 64 bit. Everything else is default....
Any thoughts?

mle724,
You need to use the same wireless security encryption on the router and adapter (either WPA2 or WEP, but not both). If you make these changes it should work.
EDIT: Looking at the spec for the WGA54G I see that it only supports WEP, therefore the only option would be for you to change the security on the router to WEP.
You also need to use the same passphrase (or keys) for the router and adapter.
Check page 28 (troubleshooting) of your WGA54G manual and under #1 it will show:
Make sure that the SSID is the same as the SSID of the access point.
On the WEP Encryption screen, make sure that all of the WEP settings are the same as the WEP settings of the access point.

Blu-Ray player installation issue: missing VBScript

Hi folks!
After downloading bluray driver as recommended by Toshiba notifier, i have trouble installing it.
After I have run installation, I receive 2 windows with following notifications:
1, First: Cant find script engine VBScript for script ..... TC3052100B.temp\preinstBDV.vbs
(where TC3052100B.temp referds to the bluray driver itself if i undersand correctly)
2. and after the above window is closed, the following appears:
Cant find script engine VBScript for script ..... TC3052100B.temp\BDPlayerSetup_Patch.vbs
I already deleted the old driver and don't have any restore point....
All rest of the operations run smoothly...
But how to handle this situation????
And i want my disk drive to function...
Thanks so much in advance,
Kaspars

> After downloading bluray driver as recommended by Toshiba notifier, i have trouble installing it.
Toshiba notifier? You mean Toshiba Tempro software
I have no idea what notebook model you have and if your notebook was equipped with an Toshiba Bluray drive but I guess you get this error appears because your notebook isnt blu-ray capable and the Toshiba Blu-ray player isnt preinstalled.
The point why you got this notification is simple: there are different notebooks with different hardware configurations. But the Toshiba tempro does not recognize if your notebook needs this software. Tempro shows you the drivers/tools/utilities which were released for the whole notebook series and were uploaded to the Toshiba driver page.

New Blu-ray player and DVD-R media... strange problem?

Hello,
So, I have a sample disc that we made last year with various clips on it. To the best of my knowledge, everything has worked just fine. Now, I have a new Sony Blu-ray player. I put our sampler in, and one of the tracks does NOT play the audio. Plays the video, no audio. Inserting the same disc into our other players and the audio plays with the video just fine. Grab another sampler from a different build/burn. Same EXACT issue, on the same exact video track there is no audio but the disc works in all other players. Now here is the real kicker- take either sampler disc and play it in the Blu-ray player, go to the track that plays the video but no audio, play it for a few seconds, then rewind and play from the beginning, and you get sound. Jump back to the chapter index and choose the clip, no sound. Rewind & play you get sound.
Anyone want to give my any ideas as to what is going on?
Mike
For what it's worth, the project was edited in FCP, Compressed using Compressor. I don't specifically know the exact settings, but I typically use VBR with an average of 6 or a CBR of 5. I always use AC3 audio. DVDSP authored the disc. I usually keep my systems up to date, but the disc was authored last January so I would have been using whatever the latest system updated in January were. And finally there are two builds of the disc. The 2nd build has DVD Rom content added to it. But either build has the same exact issue with the same exact tack.

Not Really. Try using another batch of discs. Author the project over again..maybe it will help.

CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER A...

CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER AND USE LOGITECH SKYPE CAMERA TOGETHER? ARE THEY COMPATIBLE? OR DO PANASONIC PLAYERS ONLY WORK WITH PANASONIC WEB CAMERAS ON SKYPE?

Following 2 yrs of thread here and just having been given a new Panasonic BD110 3d Blu Ray with a Skype button on its remote, DNLA, built in WiFi, ethernet, BBC i-Player, YouTube etc. I set it up and went thru BluRays, DVD's, HDMI, sound etc. I was impressed, so I bought a decent webcam and plugged it in - nothing happened. Read the manual, did everything spot on, nothing! Pana's web site, Skype, Bing, Google, customer "support", confusion all round.
It seems Panasonic don't now sell either of their own cameras (discontinued? binned? still supported? forgotten? hoping we'll forget) - but the Blu Ray/Skype models are still for sale. If this concept had been made to work, it would have been world beating!! Otherwise a recall and refund or upgrade offer should be made. There's been no apology or explanation that I can find.
This is a scandal from such a reputedly "high end" manufacturer that makes stuff for hospitals even!! And it has published DNLA and other approvals that clearly are not true.
I'll be in touch with Panasonic again and try escalating the issue, though it seems Japan knows about it and are keeping quiet in the hope the problem will fizzle out. We should individually contact the technical press and their web sites and also raise Caine under a Trade Descriptions breach. Making a warranty claim is fully justified too.
We don't know how many they sold and how many want that feature but I'll bet many thousands were made. So if a big enough bunch of us complain we should be able to make life uncomfortable for the idiots who failed us, their own employees, some important business partners, the Standards folks, and the poor souls who have to speak to us on the phone or across the Argos & Curry's counters.

Blu-Ray player won't burn a disc. Error Code "0"

Hi all, haven't made the jump to CC so we are using CS6 for everything.
I just recently installed a SSD and deleted/fresh install of the CS6 suite onto the newly wiped internal HD. Everything works perfect, except Encore.
Encore is refusing to burn to a DVD. I have been using CS6 since it went public and I have never once had this issue for a Blu-Ray or a DVD. Now, it won't even recognize that a disc is in the burner. It keeps saying to put in a DVD or a Blu-Ray DVD, hit OK etc. I do this, repeatedly, to no avail. Now I have tried creating a Blu-Ray Image which works perfectly fine. However I couldn't get that Image to burn succesfully to a blu-ray. Now it burnt without an issue, (using windows default burner which may be the issue), but when put into the blu-ray player it is just a black image with no menus or anything.
Back to Encore, It will trans-code the files without incident, it's when it goes to the burning session it will not accept any disc I put in. This is for both a Blu-Ray and a regular DVD. I keep getting Error Code "0" or simply, "insert a blu ray or dvd media disc an hit OK". Occasionally I got "Adobe Encore Failed" and that is it. Not sure what to do. I've been trying to burn since this morning.
I gave in and bought Nero 2015 just now in the hopes I can burn the blu-ray image correctly. Do I have any other options as this needs to be done today as I have to be an event tomorrow.
Thank you!
Jason

Adding to that, I am not getting the message "The Device Is Not Ready" and you can hit Retry and endless number of times with no results. Or just cancel and then it says Building Failed. Thoughts?

Tricks to connect my iPod Classic to a Sony Blu-ray player?

I'm trying to get my iPod Classic to play through my Sony Blu ray player. Unfortunatley, I think they're just not compatible. But there's always hope!
You guys are smart if anybody has any ideas let me hear 'em.
Here's a list of what I've tried so far, unsuccessfully; I connect my iPod to the A/V input, but it did not generate the sound that I wanted.
I connected to the Blu ray's usb port this improves the sound but I have no control over what music is played and all of the music folders and files have weird labels on them so I don't know what any of the folders or song files contain.

I had the same problem with Sony BluRay BDP-S3100 and iPod Nano (6th gen.).
I had a nice online "chat session" with Apple, and they said a couple of things.
One was that a USB connection is not the "best" connection for audio files, I thought
that was an interesting factoid. :-) The BluRay player said the "USB device" was
"not supported." It just can't "see" the iPod.
But the Apple chat tech said I should try hooking the iPad directly
to the TV via a headphone jack -- didn't have one -- BUT...my stereo system DOES
have a headphone jack, so he said to get a cable that has two male plugs -- one is
the 3.5mm headphone plug, and the other is the mini (for iPod) plug. Voila! Apple
sells that kind of cable, but I'm sure one could be found at Radio Shack etc.
I hope this helps you! I don't have a cable yet so I can't say if this solves the problem
for me or anyone else, but it's where I'm going to start.

I just got the Sony BRAVIA 60" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LED-LCD HDTV and I have a Yamaha RX-V1800. I want to buy and hook up a Blu-ray player to both. What the best way to do this? Should I use the optical audio to connect the Blu-ray to the receive and the HDMI to connect to the TV? I really want to be able to use HDMI for the audio but then I'm left with only component video for the TV. I can't filter the sound through the TV, this does not work. Does optical produce good audio?

Okay so I did try to run everything through the Yamaha receiver and the refresh rate is just to slow. I put in the DVD Salt and as soon as there was a chase scene I got lot of blurring. Since I'm not going to get a new receiver any time soon is a HDMI to the TV and an optical to the receiver the best option?
You have no idea what you are doing which is why your results are not pleasing. Simply connect the equipment with HDMI cables as instructed and use only Blu-Ray discs as they are full-resolution sources. Your Blu-Ray player applies upscaling and processing to your DVD which is why it looks like crap and your receiver would do the same depending on the settings. You also need to check the settings on your player and HDTV to get them both aligned for the best picture quality.
Well I did use HDMI cables, and I also checked all of the setting on both the receiver and the TV. I did not use a Blu-Ray or player as I have not bought one yet. So are you saying the only way to not get a blur when using this set up would be to only watch Blu-Rays?? That does not make much sense. Also I would like to say I have some idea what I'm doing but obviously not as much as many people on this site, that's why I posted my question here. Thanks though for pointing out the obvious, It was very helpful of you.

BDX3200KB 3D Blu-ray Player not compatible with some 3D movies

I have a BDX3200 3D blu-ray player that is connect to a Toshiba 47VL863 3D TV.
I have noticed recently that a number of 3D movies do not play correctly.
The worst affected ones seem to be "The Hobbit" and "A Turtles Tale", where the 3D movement flickers badly and there is a visible "page turning" effect when switching from one scene to another.
This makes both movies un-watchable.
In an attempt to solve the issue I downloaded the latest firmware for both the TV and blu-ray player, but sadly the problem has not gone away. If, however, I play the affected movies on the same TV but using a PS3, they play perfectly, leading me to believe the BDX3200 is the source of the issue.
I have written to Toshiba support, but have had no reply!
Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there a fix out there that I'm not aware of?
I'd like to know what Toshiba have to say on this issue?

Well Toshibas answer is a bit of a joke really.
They say that the technology used in this 3D Bluray is new and is causing playback problem.....yes and.......Toshibas point is?
My SONY yes PS3 which is NOT yes I repeat NOT a dedicated 3D Bluray player and is almost 8 years old not 2 years like my Toshiba 3D Bluray player can play this 3D Disc without any problems...so the technology is not that new..or can TOSHIBA just NOT be bothered to look after their customers.
People just be warned!!!
Toshibas reply is shown below plus my further reply
"Thank you for your recent enquiry.
We are very sorry to hear about the problem that you have experienced with your new DVD purchase. We understand that recent devlopments employed in 3D technology used on this particular blu-ray have led to issues with 3D playback and the most recent firmware update hasn't rectified this issue.
We have passed on your comments regarding this and future firmware updates may address this issue but at this time we are unable to tell you when this may become available.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
My reply
"Hello,
I find this completely unacceptable. I purchase this product along with my television in good faith that it would play 3d Blurays...this is obviously not the case it would appear that it can only play certain 3d blurays..perhaps you should consider placing this information in your advertising literature so as to not misinform customers.
My aging PS3 which was made in 2006 and is a games console as you well know can play this 3d Bluray..so it is not new technology that is the problem. My PS3 is not a dedicated 3D Bluray player where as the Toshiba 3D player is designed to play 3D Blurays and yes it isnjust about 2 years old. I think there is something wrong here, and I would like to take this further.

Looking for blu-ray player

I want to buy a blu-ray player to go along with my LG 42" HDTV. Since I don't use Netflix or any other internet streaming I don't think I would need to connect it wirelessly. However I want one that will not become obsolete in a couple of years. Appreciate any suggestions regarding make & model to buy.

Wow...An easy question..
Buy an OPPO.. Done
Really, they have the best image and sound quality.
If you want the best sound then go for the BDP-83SE, otherwise get the BDP-93.
Haven't heard of them? That's because they don't sell in big box stores, but their units win all the awards. Their BDP-83SE also is a recommended player by www.stereophile.com
They aren't the cheapest, but you must get the source material off the disc in the best way possible to not limit the rest of your system.
See what http://www.hometheater.com/content/oppo-bdp-83-universal-blu-ray-player says about it if you don't believe me...
I do not work for Best Buy and am not affiliated with them in any way. I like HT and want to help people improve their HT experience. "There is a LOT more than just having a TV to make a home theater"
