Blu-Ray player "zoom" availability

Are there any Blu-Ray players on the market with the "zoom" feature that used to be available on many regular DVD players?

This one does: LG BD590 only one i have ever heard of.

That's the first thing I'd try. If that doesn't work, in AirPort Utility put the Time Capsule into "manual setup" mode, then pull down the menu option Base Station -> Equivalent Network Password.

Satellite P850 - Where to get Toshiba Blu-ray player?

Hi,
I recently reformatted my p850/049 for windows 7. I tried to install the Toshiba Blu-Ray Disc player V1.0.3.196A, the file didn't work at all and when I tried to install it manually "cannot find player in your system. Installation Aborted". On the download page it is listed as a patch, but where do I find the original file? I have SP1 Windows 7 pro 64 bit, all up do date as of 24th May 2013
I found V1.0.5.110 from the US version of the Toshiba support site and this installed and does play DVD's and it tries to open a Blu-Ray but it gets stuck on blank screen and doesn't play or allow me to do anything like skip scene or go to the menu. There's no error message complaining about region or corrupt files or anything it just goes to a blank screen, with the controls available but they don't do anything. As I said dvd's work perfectly, just not blu-rays.
The player itself seems to function normally on this screen and when you try to click buttons it comes up with a circle with a line through it when you try and click buttons like a normal dvd player if you tried to skip through the copyright warnings and the time index is always a small number ie 25 seconds or so. As if it were trying to play a small segment like the copyright section or something.
I've tried a number of different Blu-ray discs and none of them work. I downloaded a trial of another Blu-ray player program and it plays Blu-rays all the same ones that don't work on the Toshiba player (so the hardware works), so i'm looking for a free one that works without leaving a watermark on the screen. It seems silly as I expected my machine to PLAY BLU-RAYS without me having to buy software.
Any help would be appreciated

Yes, this is a patch file and you cannot install this without having installed an full version.
But I found on the Toshiba Australian driver page the Toshiba Video Player 5.0.0.16-A
Did you try to install this application?
At the other hand I could recommend the usage of freeware software like VLC Player.
This is really great and in my opinion the best player you can get for free.

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?

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.

Samsung BD-P2550 Blu-ray player

Hello,
Would a Best Buy employee be able to enlighten me whether this player was discontinued or just simply not in stock? This player is available on your website, for local pick-up. However, when you actually go to choose a store, most stores don't have any in stock. =/ It seems to be this way in a lot of Southern California, and I've even checked a state over in Arizona, and they don't seem to have any in stock. So, can anyone verify for me if this item is discontinued or simply back-ordered?
Thanks for your time and thanks in advance,
Eugene

Blue-ray player

hi.. I cant get a blue-ray movie to play or load on this laptop..it says that I do have blueray. it worked before and now it doesnt.. could you help me?

Hey yankeeman,
There are usually a couple of different options available for when you have to update firmware, but keep in mind that your choices may be limited based upon the specific model blu-ray player that you own. In most cases firmware can be updated one of two ways: using a direct PC connection or USB flash drive.
Because not all Blu-ray players are equipped with USB flash drives, you ultimately may need to run a cable beetween the player and your computer/modem. Like hockeycanuckjc mentioned, the exact details on how to do so should be available in your owner's manual. If you're ever in doubt though, remember that you can always visit Samsung's support site for further information:

Hope this helps you out!

Blue ray player connection to web help

Just wondering if any iMac people have recently successfully connected their blue ray player to the internet? Apple tells me that I have to purchase "Apple TV" device. The Sony player (BDP-N460) I purchased said I only need to buy an additional 'Linksys-Cisco WET610N' wireless bridge and a LAN cable for it to work. Which is correct, or maybe both are, but which one is the more cost/efficient one? Thanks in advance!
iMac Intel Duo,20",2.16Ghz,1GB,Airport Express

I too have the same BD player and have just connected the WET610n bridge to my Airport Extreme -- it's just a question of configuring this-or-that. Only that Linksys put the manual on a Mac-incompatible CD.
You can find the product manual on this page which describes the unit, and then go to the downloads page, select Version 1.0 from the drop-down menu, and then a link to Mac-compatible setup wizard will display. Download it if you like.
There's an easier way. Make sure your player is plugged into your TV and turn the TV on. (In my case, I was configuring the bridge with a Sony Bravia HDTV. I assume a Mac would be no different.) Press the MENU key on the BD player remote and navigate to the leftmost menu item, a small suitcase. Scroll down to select Network Settings, then Network Connection Diagnostics. When it tells you the obvious that you're not connected, backtrack to Internet Settings.
Assuming you've plugged the Ethernet cable and bridge together, and connected the bridge to a power outlet, you can select Wireless Bridge Setup. Since your network is out there waiting to be found, select Scan, and then select your network. An onscreen keypad will open for you to enter your security key, after which you'll experience a minute or two as the bridge gets programmed and a connection is made to your network.
Return to the suitcase menu and select Network Update to see if new system software is available for the BD player itself. If there is, it will download and warn you NOT to turn the power off.
You should now be able to download content off the net.

Tube TV + Blu-Ray player??

I have a tube tv, but want to upgrade to a blu-ray player from my current dvd player. Is this possible?? I don't have the money right now for a hi-def TV. But if I can upgrade the player, it's a start. Anyone?
Thanks.

Welcome to the board, Flamanar!
Yes, it's entirely possible to hook up a Blueray player to your existing tube television. In example, our
Insignia™ - Internet Connectable / Wi-Fi Built-in Blu-ray Disc Player features both an HDMI output for panel TV's and also composite and component cables for use with tube TV's!
This is definitely a worthwhile investment. While you will not be able to see the stunning high definition that blueray offers immediately, you can begin to build your system and start collecting blueray movies. In addition, this model will connect to the internet using your existing wireless network and be able to stream Netflix, as well as other features. This is all available right now!
The model I've mentioned is available in most of the Best Buy stores, so you can pick one up today. Or you can choose the convenience of ordering online and having it shipped directly to your home.
If you need any more clarification or have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Satellite L850 - need to change the ODD to Blu-Ray player

Hi,
My wife wants to use her laptop L850 to watch movies.
But most of our videos at home are Blu-Ray format.
Can I change the DVD player for a Blu-Ray player.
If yes which model or specifications should I look for ?
And will I need new drivers that may or not be easily available ?
We are taking the train in two weeks, so if someone can help me,
I would have time to do the change before we travel.

Recently bought an LG 3D tv and an LG 3d Blue Ray player but am having problems with my setup

I bought a 47LA6200 TV and a BP530 blue ray player. I have my cable box hooked up to HDMI 1, I have my blue ray hooked up to HDMI 2, and my XBox 360 to HDMI 3. I have my cable box hooked up to my older JVC RX880V stereo digital optical to digital optical without any 5.1 problems at all. My TV digital optical out is hooked up to my stereo digital optical port 2 without any 5.1 problems either, sort of. My BP530 is hooked up to my stereo digital coax to digital coax but I cannot get any 5.1 sound at all. Not through any of the digital channels on the stereo at all. The player only comes through as standard stereo through all 4 speakers and I am not sure if it is coming through the base speaker at all. I have tried every setting on both the TV and the blue ray player to no avail. I have even tried to not use the digital on my blue ray but when the stereo is set to play from my tv optical I still don't get 5.1 sound. When I do not use the TV optical out but I do use the digital coax out from the DVD player I still cannot play my DVDs in 5.1. I have new HDMI 15gbps HDMI cables and a new digital coaxial cable so I don't think it is a cable thing.
The real question is how do I get to hear my blue ray and DVD discs in 5.1 sound? Will this work if I exchange my blue ray player for a Denon 3D blue ray or other player?

Extended Warranty for Blu Ray Player

Hello,
We purchased a panasonic blu ray player a few years ago and this January it stopped reading blu ray disks. After moving, I was finally able to unpack it and test it out again to no avail. I then got through all of my receipts and found the original receipt but the warranty has recently expired. Is there any way that I can have this device fixed through the store as my warranty has so recently expired and the issue was not resolved before its expiration? It was the 4 year extended warranty.
Thanks,
J

Hello J/haroude,
Thanks for reaching out with this question! Sorry to hear your bluray player has stopped reading disks. The definitely work better when they read the disks you put in them!
All kidding aside, there are a couple things you could try to troubleshoot for this issue:
·         Install any new firmware updates available for your unit (you can do this by connecting the player to the internet or looking on Panasonic’s website, by your specific model)
·         Clean the laser lens inside the player with a CleanDr. Laser Lens Cleaner for Blu-Ray Players
·         Perform a factory reset through the menu on the bluray player
Due to the expiration of your Geek Squad Protection plan, you would pay a non-refundable fee to have the player sent out for service. Then once the issue was identified, you should be contacted by a Geek Squad Agent with the quote for cost of repair before any further work is performed on the unit. Between the fee to have it sent out for service and the cost of the repair, you could probably purchase a brand new player for about the same price; maybe even less.
Please let me know if any of these troubleshooting processes remedy your issue. Also, feel free to reach out with any other questions or concerns.
Thanks,

Insufficient disk space on Blu Ray player

I just purchased a Blu Ray player (Sony Model: BDP-S470) which I really like, however, when I try to use some of the internet features when watching a disk I get an error message that says not enough drive space. Does that mean I need a different player? Can I use a thumb drive to expand the space available?
Solved!

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be snarky. I meant that since the unit was new, you probably still have the manual. It is usually a good place to start, and can answer your question better than I can.

Stream to blu ray player using E3000?

I have an E3000 with an external hard drive attached via USB with several movies saved on it as ISO's. Can anyone assist me in trying to figure out how to stream a movie to my wireless blu ray player, Sony S580. I was able to stream the iso to a netbook attached to the LCD tv by using VLC on the netbook. The only videos I can access on the blu ray player that are on the external hard drive are home videos I converted to DVD quality before uploading, they're not HD. I can access pictures and music on the blu ray from the external hard drive as well. I tried converting an iso to MVK but was unable to access/find it using the blu ray player.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Steps to stream a movie to my wireless blu ray player
1. Make sure PC, wireless router, TV, and Blu-Ray player are turned on.
2. On the Blu-Ray player, go to My Media.
3. If you haven't previously configured your network on the Blu-Ray player, you will be prompted to. It will search for a network, choose yours, enter the password (if router is secured), and you'll be connected.
4. Now, the computer will be scanned by the Blu-Ray player for shared folders. Pick the folder (most likely the only folder available for picking) that you put your movies in. Your movies will be displayed in a list for you to choose from, simply pick one and watch!
