  • How to connect to blu-ray player

    How do I get my iphone to be recognized by my Sony blu-ray player? I have it cnnected by a USB port. The blu-ray player says it does not recognize USB device, or that it is not supported. Any help would be appreciated.

    I've never heard of a Blu-Ray player that offers this functionality in conjunction with an iPhone.
    Your best option would be to buy an AppleTV and connect that to your big screen TV. Then you can wirelessly stream audio, video and photos to your TV, and also mirror the iPhone screen on your TV allowing you to play games etc. on your iPhone but displayed on your TV. The AppleTV also does lots of other things too.

    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.

  • Connect IQ500 to Blu Ray Player

    I bought a blu ray player this past weekend and I thought that I had a HDMI port on my computer. However, I can't seem to find one and there isn't a whole lot of information about the IQ500 line anymore... does anyone know how to connect my blu ray player to my computer?  I really don't want to buy a tv when I have a 23 inch computer...
    Thanks

    THe display doesn't support any resolution that the Blu-ray player can provide. In addition, it doesn't support HDCP.

  • Can my mini provide ethernet for blu ray player?

    i know you can share internet when connected to internet with ethernet, but i want to share my wireless network my mini connects to with my blu ray player. has anyone done this and had it work? is there a trick? thanks for any info....

    Yes you can do this. Connect your Mini to your wireless and plug in the ethernet to your Blu-Ray player. Go to System Preferences> Sharing and select the Internet Sharing box. Select Airport from the drop down menu in Share your connection from. Select Ethernet under the To computers using and make sure that the internet sharing box is clicked. You're now all set!

  • My Blu Ray player will not play pictures from my USB a second time

    I was able to play it no problem a first time, but when I went back a few minutes later to run through the pictures stored on the USB a second time, the screen goes blank, player says Stop, and I'm brought back to the home screen. 

    Hi Rivyn,
    Welcome to Sony Community!
    It would be best if you provide us the model no. of your Blu-ray player, for us to give you an accurate solution.
    Thanks!

  • How do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

    how do I change file format so I keep HD and can play on blu ray player?

    Hi
    Part of it - in my way of doing is
    Roxio Toast™ Pro incl BD-component.
    • Burn short AVCHD - on standard DVDs (20-30 minutes at HD quality) - NEED Blu-Ray player to be viewed
    or BD-burner and disks - for full Blu-Ray Disks (not got to this yet)
    I think that saving as .mpeg4 H.264 and save on USB-memory to be put into PlayStation3 also keep high quality playback.

  • How to watch videos on a TV from Mac to wireless Blu Ray player

    How do I watch my viseos on a TV via wireless to a Blu Ray Player?

    Sounds like the wifi isn't processing the data fast enough for video streaming.  Have you tried resetting your wifi hub ?  Switch it off for a couple of minutes and then restart it.  See if that makes any difference.

  • Samsung SE-506BB Blu-Ray Player/Writer no longer working after latest OS X update

    Since downloading the latest OS X update ("Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks") that rolled out today, I've discovered that my external Samsung SE-506BB Blu-Ray player will no longer read any discs and that ejecting and restarting the device and updating the device firmware does nothing to solve the problem.
    This exact issue has been reported numerous times since January on these forums
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5829322 (1/26)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5836103 (1/27)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5895950 (2/12)
    and in each instance deduced the problem to be the direct result of some software glitch in the most recent Mavericks update.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue currently and/or managed to fix it on their end? Moreover, admins, what if anything is Apple doing to correct this problem given that it's clearly a persistent issue? Please comment below if you happen to know anything so we can all get to the bottom of this mystery.

    I just noticed this today with my player as well, which had otherwise been working perfectly since first purchasing it a couple of months ago.
    The only source to my immediate problem that I can think of is the "Command Line Developer Tools for OS X Mavericks" update that rolled out today, which I installed shortly before attempting to boot up my drive -- the only thing I can ascertain is that this has to be an ongoing software update issue with Apple that affects some/all of the players with each problematic update round, since others have reported experiencing similar problems from as far back as January.
    Were you able to fix your problem at all?

  • How do I connect a Blu-Ray player w only Ethernet?

    Hi- I use an airport extreme base with n-only operation with a few computers and appleTV around our home (great speed!). I just added a blu-ray player with an ethernet port and would like to figure out how to connect it to the wireless network. I'm guessing there's a 802.11n repeater or some sort of wireless hub I can buy that can be configured to extend the network to ethernet, but have no idea. I'm assuming this is what folks with printers have done for years... would appreciate any advice. thanks!
    (would love to configure my AppleTV to share it's network connection, but that's beyond my capability.... :))

    One option would be to use the new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) ProxySTA feature to create a wireless-to-wire bridge to connect the Blu-Ray player to.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility. The feature should work with any wireless network: a, b, g, or n; and 5GHz or 2.4GHz. (Note that the Express, which ships with firmware 7.3, must also be updated to firmware 7.3.1 for this feature to appear.)

  • How do I program my remote to work for my satellite and Blu Ray player?

    I recently purchased the 55 in LED Toshiba tv model number 42SL417U and I am having trouble finding the instructions on how to program it to work with my Sony Blu Ray player and Satellite. I went to product support and could not find a topic on how to program the remote. 

    Information on how to program your remote is available on page 79 of your user's guide.
    The TV also has CEC functionality to control other CEC-enabled, HDMI-connected devices. More information about this is on page 19 of the user's guide.

  • Using Airport Extreme with a Airport Time Capsule to update Blu-Ray player

    I was wondering if it were possible to hook up a blu-ray player to a second Airport Extreme to update the player? I have a Time Capsule in my home office and a blu-ray on the other end of the house. The blu-ray needs updates. I am wondering if I can use an Airport Extreme as an "extension" wireless unit hooked up to my blu-ray player to have it connected to the net?
    Thank you!
    John

    Welcome to the discussions, John!
    You have a few options to do what you want.
    Perhaps you were thinking of the AirPort Express when you mentioned AirPort Extreme. The AirPort Express can be configured to "extend" the main wireless network created by the Time Capsule and the ethernet port will be "live" so that you could connect to your BluRay player via ethernet.
    An AirPort Extreme would work as well, but you may not need the other extra ethernet ports on the Extreme and extra expense for features that you may not use.
    I take it that running an ethernet cable to the BluRay player is not feasible in your current situation.
    You may not have thought about the next option, which would make use of a pair ethernet powerline adapters. One device plugs into an AC socket at the head end and another plugs into AC at the BluRay end. The adapters use the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. You would run a short ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your AirPort Extreme to the adapter and do the same at the BluRay end.
    This type of connection will almost always provide a faster signal than wireless, so you may want to check these out as an option. Best Buy will have several to choose from.

  • How do I use my Airport Express with a Blu-ray player?

    Hello, first post, long time lurker. Have a question, hope someone can help me
    I have an Airport Express V 6.3, currently I have it set to 'Join a wireless network' and its connected wirelessly through a Netgear router that is located on the 1st floor, I'm on 3rd floor by the way. I've been using it for airtunes, but I recently received a Sony Blu-ray Player and would like to connect it the airport express via ethernet cable.
    What do I have to set up on the airport express to be able to give the blu-ray player internet?
    I've noticed many threads here about airport extreme connected to express...so they weren't too helpful

    Welcome to the discussion area, mareithree!
    You'll need the 802.11"n" version of the AirPort Express to be able to "Enable ethernet clients" and connect the DVD player. Unfortunately, your older version of the Express does not allow this type of feature.

    Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter?
    If you can find such a thing.  I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
    would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.     
    That would depend on this adapter.
