Connecting Blu-ray DVD to TV

I recently purchased a Sony HDTV and a Blu-ray DVD and the expensive HDMI connector cable.  Unfortunately, the tv only 
has one HDMI outlet and it connects with the Verizon HDTV control box and it only has one HDMI outlet. So how do I connect
the Blu-ray DVD to the TV?

The correct solution is Components cables on the VZ STB use the HDMI for your blu ray .  You want to try to stay away from the HDMI switches cause issue with the Verizon STB's Trust me on that one

  • Connecting Blu Ray DVD player to TV

    Hello,
    I have an HDTV and we recently bought a Blu Ray DVD player. I was able to find an HDMI to DVI converter per the unit's owners manual, but could not find the audio cable(s) needed to get the unit to work. So we returned unit.
    I was able to see Te video but could not hear any sound.
    My question is how do I get the sound to work? What type of cable do I need?
    Since our DVD player is now crazy and not working, I would like to upgrade to a blu ray DVD player. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    If your tv has an optical plug you could use that for the sound
    Maybe.....
    Not all TV's pass audio through the optical port on the TV. Some just use the optical port on the TV for the ATSC Tuner.
    But in any case what you suggest will not work for the OP. Optical ports on TV"s are optical outputs NOT inputs, and the OP is wanting to get sound from his blu-ray player to TV.

  • Blue ray dvd

    I am having problems with my blue ray dvd player.  All the connections are done properly but when I insert disc and turn the dvd on I do not get any pictures or sound.  Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

    Well this is not a Blu-ray player forum, so it's difficult to suggest anything but contacting the place you purchased the player from or the manufacturer.

  • LG BP320 Blu-Ray DVD player

    I am considering buying the LG BP320 Blu-Ray DVD player.  The main reason I am considering this player is to be able to directly access Netflix rather than having to get the DVDs through the U.S. Mail.  I have a wireless router on my computer.  My question is this.  Is the router all I need in order to directly access Netflix or would I need addtional equipment?  If so, what else would I  need?  My TV is not a "smart" TV.  It is a Sony KDL-40XBR2.  Does it matter that it is not a "Smart' TV? 

    Technically, a router is all you need, but that will not guarantee good results. Your broadband connection should be of sufficient speed to handle the streaming of  movies. The router should be up to this task as well. There are many variables here, so give it a try and report back on your results.

  • Blue Ray DVD Access problem

    I recently added a new Blue Ray DVD and am having trouble getting to the internet.  I have version 5.5.9195.0-pure0 and the network is working properly on my computers thru DSL connection.  When setting up the blue ray it recognizes the wireless network (belkin) and lets me connect to the network but it is not getting thru to the internet.  Has anyone else had this problem?
    TIA

    Hi,
    Do yourself a favor and stop using CCleaner. It can do far more damage to your operating system's registry and system files than help. 
    Which program are you using to try to play BluRay disks?
    What exactly does the drive not do?
    Will it not read CD\DVD disks nor burn CDs or DVDs?
    Please identify your notebook completely.
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a printed part number and a product name. Please post one or both of them (with all alphanumeric characters here). 
    Best regards,
    erico

  • Can videos from my dropbox be played on sony blu ray dvd player BDP S580?

    can videos from my dropbox be played on sony blu ray dvd player BDP S580?

    Hello ptsotsos, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
    Unfortunately the Blu-ray disc player cannot play videos from dropbox. When the Internet video device is connected to an active network connection, you can browse web sites or surf the Internet. However, the built-in browser is not designed to replace the web browsing functionality of a computer.

  • Blu-ray DVD no longer recognized by HP MediaSmart or Windows Media Player

    I have the HP Pavilion Elite HPE 250-f desktop computer. This computer includes a CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive. I bought this computer in 2010, and all these years I have successfully played CDs and DVDs on the computer. Until now, I have not attempted to play a Blu-ray DVD.
    A few days ago, I rented the "Divergent" Blu-ray DVD from my public library. The "Divergent" regular DVD was included in the package.
    I put the Blu-ray into the CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive. The HP MediaSmart software recognized the Blu-ray, but the software got into an endless "update" loop and did not play the Blu-ray. Microsoft's Windows Media Player also recognized the Blu-ray, but did not play the Blu-ray.
    One solution I heard about was to plug an HDMI patch cord into the back of my computer box, with the other end of the HDMI patch cord not plugged into anything. Supposedly, the HP MediaSmart software would play a Blu-ray if the software sensed an HDMI cord. Unfortunately, that did not work.
    I then downloaded the Media Player Codec Pack, http://download.cnet.com/Media-Player-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10749065.html    Supposedly, this Codec Pack would allow the Windows Media Player to play the Blu-ray. The Codec Pack included the Classic Media Player.
    I tried to play the Blu-ray on the current Windows Media Player and the Classic version, with the new codecs installed. But nothing worked. I then used System Restore to get rid of the  Media Player Codec Pack. I found out that, in addition to the codecs, I was supposed to use the Slysoft AnyDVD HD software. However, I did not make any more attempts to use the codecs, and I did not download the Slysoft software.
    Now, here's where things get weird. Now, the HP MediaSmart software and the current Windows Media Player do not even *recognize* the Blu-ray DVD. They play the regular "Divergent" DVD very well. But they do not even *see* the Blu-ray DVD.
    I uninstalled the BDDVDRW CH20L driver, version 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255). I restarted the computer, and a new driver was installed. The new driver's version is 6.1.7601.17514. But the Blu-ray DVD is *still* not being recognized.
    Now, I'm hearing that a Blu-ray lens cleaner may be required.
    So, what's going on here? Did the codecs in the Codec Pack damage the Blu-ray lens? Please advise.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Hi, BH. Thanks for your response.
    sp60287.exe seems to be for Windows 8. I have Windows 7.
    But even if I got a PowerDVD version for Windows 7, I still have the issue of the Blu-ray disc not even being detected. The Blu-ray disc is in the drive, but the software (HP MediaSmart, Windows Media Player) says that there is no disc in the drive. This "no detection" issue began after I installed the codecs in the Codec Pack and tried to make Windows Media Player work with the codecs. Is there an issue with the Blu-ray lens? Or is there an issue with the Blu-ray disc itself? 
    I notice that the regular "Divergent" DVD has no fingerprints on it, even after I touch it. But the Blu-ray DVD has lots of fingerprints. Does the Blu-ray have some kind of weird surface? Is there some problem with the Blu-ray's surface that is causing the Blu-ray to not even be detected?
    Thanks.

  • General Overview on How to use Final Cut Studio to create a Blu-Ray DVD

    I am a new user of Final Cut Studio and need an experienced user to give my a progression guide on how to create a Blu-Ray DVD of my recent Alaska Trip. Last month I spend 8 days in Alaska visiting Denali and Juneau primarily. During that time I took about 100 short video clips (HD 1080p) and 570+ still photos with my Canon 7D. I have experimented with some pieces of the software and have created a Blu-Ray disk using Final Cut Pro and Compressor. However my goal is to create this DVD with menus that will play short clips (some narrated) and still photos(also some narration). I did a short one in DVD Studio Pro this morning but need some general guidance on what progression and programs to use to create this project. I was not able to take my video from the Studio Pro Sequence I created for my 1st DVD I had to take the original clips which were processed using Apple ProRes 422 and copy them in one at a time and then find the audio (on the voice overs) I created and also place them into DVD Studio Pro one at a time. I obviously need some guidance on the proper progression.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's the situation...
    DVD Studio Pro will not do the trick for you - it doesn't do blu-ray discs. If you want to do Blu-ray you've got to use either Final Cut Pro's "Export" command or Compressor's "Burn Blu-ray disc" template. The downside to both of these approaches is that you can't burn more than one title (or movie, etc.) using Final Cut Studio.
    To do what you want to do, you need Toast (at least). Toast will auto-generate menus but will let you put more than one title per slide (so you can put multiple slideshows on the same disc).
    If you want to do full-on customizing of menus and multi-level menus, for that you need Adobe's Encore.
    My suggestion - Get Toast. Encore is close to $800.
    Here's your progression (at least the one I use).
    Edit in Final Cut Pro (ProRes 422 is fine, ProRes 422 LT would do the trick as well)
    Export as QuickTime movies (original settings)
    In Compressor using the H.264 for Blu-ray setting and Dolby Digital setting and create elementary streams for video (.264 file) and audio (.ac3). Make sure these files have identical names except for the extension.
    Using toast, add the video file to the Toast project and it'll find the audio file.
    Burn away!

    looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

    There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

  • HP desktop computer can not play Blu-ray DVDs. Who is responsible for this?

    In 2010, I blought an HP Pavilion Elite HPE 250-f desktop computer (running Windows 7). This computer was advertised as having a Blu-ray DVD player, as well as players for regular DVDs and CDs. All these years, I've been successfully playing regular DVDs and CDs. Until now, I have not attempted to play a Blu-ray DVD.
    I recently rented the "Divergent" Blu-ray DVD (as well as the "Divergent" regular DVD) from my local library. When I tried to play the Blu-ray DVD, the HP MediaSmart software and the Windows Media Player detected the Blu-ray but were not able to play the Blu-ray.
    I then downloaded the Media Player Codec Pack, http://download.cnet.com/Media-Player-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10749065.html    This Codec Pack was supposed to help Windows Media Player play the Blu-ray. That did not work. When I got rid of the Codec Pack using System Restore, HP MediaSmart and Windows Media Player became unable to detect the Blu-ray in the Blu-ray drive. After another System Restore, HP MediaSmart and Windows Media Player were once again able to detect the Blu-ray (but were still unable to play the Blu-ray).
    I then downloaded Cyberlink PowerDVD 14, which played the Blu-ray for only about 7 seconds before crashing. I then got rid of Cyberlink PowerDVD 14 with a System Restore.
    I downloaded TotalMedia Theatre version 6.0.1.123. However, this software did not detect the Blu-ray. I then got rid of TotalMedia Theatre with a System Restore. After that, I was not able to play ANYTHING, including CDs and regular DVDs. CDs and regular DVDs were not being detected by playing software. After another System Restore, I was once again able to play CDs and regular DVDs. However, I do not want to risk trying to play the Blu-ray again.
    So, what's going on here? HP advertised this computer as having a Blu-ray DVD player. Wasn't HP responsible for providing software that could play Blu-ray DVDs? And why is the Blu-ray DVD, sometimes detected, and sometimes not detected, by playing software? Is there some kind of hardware issue?
    Who is responsible for the fact that my computer can not play Blu-ray DVDs? HP, for bad playing software and/or bad hardware? Or is there something in the Windows 7 operating system that prevents the playing of Blu-ray DVDs? Is Microsoft responsible?
    Thanks for any information.

    You're not going to get any help from HP or Microsoft on a 4 year old computer.   Maybe your optical drive is no longer able to play Bluray discs.  Windows 7 Media Center with Bluray playback was not included in all versions of Windows 7.  Each computer with Bluray has an individual license; yours may have expired after not using it for 4 years.  Best advice - don't flog a dead horse.  Just get regular DVDs.

    Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.
