Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S570 won't connect to iMac

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to connect my new sony blu-ray player to my iMac wirelessly. My iMac is set up as an airport base station, and I have no problems connecting my iPhone to it to use the internet.
Internet sharing is turned on, and i'm using a 40-bit WEP password. Every time I try to connect my blu-ray player, it connects to the network, but cannot connect to the internet. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas? I'm pretty frustrated.
Thanks!

Hi there I'm having a similar problem with the s570 - it finds the livebox network ok but I enter the WPA password
The AirPort Extreme can use the following WPA security settings:
WPA2 Personal
WPA/WPA2 Personal
Which of these are you trying to use?
Is there something in the instruction sheet or setup page of the Blu-Ray player that specifies exactly what type of security settings are compatible with the device?

Sony Blu-Ray bdp-s570

I just bought this for my husband for Christmas. Best--Buy rep said if was the best model for our needs and it looks great. One HUGE problem is that while it does go on our home network, it refuses to view any of the files it states it should; .avi, .divx, etc. I'm seeing on other posts that after calling Sony, this model will only play MPEG-2 files off the net and all others are by USB drive only. Is this normal? It did not state this, whatsoever, in the manual.

From my understanding the BDP-S570 will stream AVI, DiVX, etc when DLNA is enabled on the player and the video comes from a DLNA device such as a Windows Vista or Windows 7 PC. Also check the players firmware for the latest version.

WRT54GS connection to Sony Blu Ray BDP-S370

I just purchased a Sony Blu Ray player and am trying to use a wired connection to my WRT54GS. I was initially unable to establish a connection at all, but after chatting with tech support at Sony, we were able to get it to connect. Shortly after I hung up the phone, we were watching a youtube video and the player dropped the connection and I haven't been able to get it re-establish a connection. The only thing that I did do was turn on our computer, which accessed the WRT54GS wirelessly, and I'm wondering if the IP addresses are conflicting. Can anyone tell me how to fix IP addresses, or suggest another solution?
Thanks,
-Erik

Turns out that I had a flaky LAN card on my blu-ray unit. A new unit and everything is working well.

Why won't my airport express allow internet connection on TV blu ray? I have internet connection on iMac

Why won't my Airport Express allow internet connection on my Blu Ray when there is internet connection on my IMac?

I'm guessing you only have the modem/router supplied by your isp and the Airport Express. Is the Airport Express connected to the modem/router with an ethernet cable? If not, plug one end of the cable into an available port on the modem/router and the other end in to the WAN port, indicated with a dashed circle, on the Airport Express.
Have a nice day.

I'm trying to connect Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S580.

I've managed to set up the wifi through Airport. However, the player states that the internet connection has failed. When I tried to set up manually, it wants a default gateway number and a secondary DNS number. I can't find these. When I went to Sony's help page, it directed me to choose a router. I can't find this on my mac either. Please help.

No. cat5 wiring doesn't work that way. Unlike phone wiring where all the wires are connected together, cat5 wiring connects point-to-point between two Ethernet devices. You need a continuous cat5 path from the blu-ray player to the router. The patch panel merely provides a termination point for each cable.
The easiest thing to do to get this working is to take a cat5 patch cord and use it as a jumper from the jack going to the blu-ray player and the jack going to the Actiontec router. That will give you a continuous connection between the two devices.
Longer term, if you want to add devices in other rooms that have a cat5 cable, you will need to add a switch as viafax999 suggested.

You will need to connect the jack going to the Actiontec router as well as the jack going to each room where you want an Ethernet connection to the switch. The number of rooms you want active will determine how many ports you need on the switch.

VIZIO blu-ray internet player won't connect, needs Port 43 or Port 80?

I have WRT54G router. The VIZIO VBR231 unit finds the network OK and indicates it is connected, but nothing will stream, and when I run a Network Test it gives me this 3 line error:
Connection to 0.0.0.0... successfully established
Resolving... could not be established
Please check your connection and try again.
The VIZIO support folks were not helpful at all, and said something about Port 80 or Port 43 not being open or available. When I talked to linksys support, they said I needed to add the VIZIO player's IP (which appears to be 0.0.0.0 in the system settings). Can anyone tell me what I would need to do, step by step? I poked around a bit, including the Port Forwarding tab on the router setup, but could not see a way to assign 0.0.0.0 to one of these ports, and I am hesitant to experiment.
I'll probably just return the unit to Costco, but I'm trying this forum as a last ditch effort. BTW I have a VIZIO internet TV that I love, and that had absolutely no problem at all connecting to the wireless. Thank you!

If your other devices are able to connect to the wireless network then I think the router is working fine.
The IP address on Blu-ray is 0.0.0.0 which is not a valid IP address.
Make sure that Blu ray is not set to a static IP address with the blank fields. Set the Blu ray to obtain IP address from the router.
Or Blu ray is not getting IP address from the router.
Open the setup page of the router and go wireless tab. Click on wireless security sub tab and check the wireless security settings. Make sure that you have the correct network key for your wireless network.
Click on wireless MAC filter sub tab. It should be disabled.
Try to connect to the wireless network on Blu ray again and see if that works.

How to access music/pictures on PC through Sony Blu Ray?

I just bought and set up a Sony blu ray BDP-S570. I have connected to my wireless internet as I access Pandora & You Tube. But I want to access my music & pictures on my PC but can't make it happen. Any suggestions on how I do this?
Thanks for your help.

If TVersity gives you problems (and although it is a good program, it can be quite buggy), try Nero MediaHome 4. It does the same thing as TVersity, but is less buggy than TVerstiy is (in my opinion, based on using it with several different computers).

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.

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.
NOTE: Web pages may not display correctly and some web functions such as downloading or saving Internet content may not work properly.

How to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

how to connect my sony blue ray play to wifi via my airport utility?

The airport utility has nothing whatever to do with the sony bluray player.
The airport utility is to setup wireless in the airport.. once you setup wireless then you use the sony setup for wireless in the player as per its manual.
Please do keep the wireless names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
As well as pure alphanumeric passwords if you want to do this successfully.

I have the older rounded airport and want to connect it to a Sony Blu-Ray via a LAN cable. Is that possible?

I have the older rounded airport and would like to connect it to a Sony blu-ray player via a LAN. Any thoughts?

I assume that your Sony Blu-ray player is network-ready and has an Ethernet port ... correct? If so, there shouldn't be any reason why it couldn't be connected to the LAN (opposing arrows) port on the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to gain network/Internet access.

Trying to connect Sony Blu Ray player to MI424WR router wired through in-wall connection, help!

Maybe someone can help me. My house has some pre-wired cat5e plugs in the walls. I have my MI424WR router upstairs and my Sony blu ray player downstairs. I first connected the router and blu ray player to the wall with cat5e cables, no luck. I then tried using a cat5e crossover cable from the router to the wall, no luck. The Sony blu ray player has everything set to auto, but do I need to configure something? Can someone help me figure out what is not working? Thank you.

Wga54g connecting to sony blu ray using WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (AES)

My Wga54g is to be the interenet source to my sony blu ray player. I have a wireless broadband router modem setup that uses WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES). How do I configure everything to work? Since the WGA54G only does WEP is there a way to configure it or the Sony Blu ray to get a internet signal to it? The sony seems to have a automatic IP or manual IP configuration setting option. I suppose I can step down to WEP on the router settings but I'd rather not. I tried that and couldn't get it to work regardless. Please help!

To connect the Wireless-G Game adapter to a wireless network, please determine your SSID, Wireless Security and/or Network Key. Second you need to lower down the security mode to WEP, since WGA54G do not have any other security mode.

FD Trinitron WEGA KV-30HS420 problem with Sony Blu-ray players

I have a Sony FD Trinitron KV-30HS420 television, which has worked very well over the last 11 years or so. I've owned a Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray player for a few years, and it has worked very well with my TV. I believe I updated the firmware on the blu-ray player a month or two ago, to the M07.R.0631 version from December 2014. When I plugged a USB flash drive into the player - one I've used several times before successfully - the screen went black. The only difference I can think of is that I created folders on the USB flash drive, and put the mp4s into the folders. I think I may have had a similar problem with the blu-ray player a year or two ago when I also used folders on the USB drive, but I was able to fix the problem by unplugging the player and rebooting. That did not resolve this issue. Now, if I try to turn on my player, which is hooked to my TV via HDMI, the "Sony Blu-ray" symbol appears as usual, then the thin blue line that stretches partially accross the screen horizontally, but at the stage where the screen will usually flicker and the blue line will expand to fill the whole length of the 16:9 screen, the screen instead turns black. It appears the player is still functioning (as I'll explain below), but the TV is no longer able to process the signal. I spent several hours with Sony tech support going through everything - checking the connections, swapping HDMI cables, lowering the resolution on the player, and changing other player settings, but I still have the same problem. If I hook the player up to a newer Vizio HD television, everything works fine - which is why the player seems to be functioning ok. If I hook my HD DVR to my television, it continues to work fine as well - so I don't think it's a problem with my HDMI connection on my TV. It appears to be a communication issue between the blu-ray player and the TV. I have been meaning to buy a second blu-ray player anyway, so I purchased a Sony BDP-S5500, thinking that might resolve the issue. But the exact same thing happens when I plug it into my Sony TV. That blu-ray player also works fine with the newer Vizio TV.
I spent several additional hours with Sony support making sure there wasn't an issue with the new Blu-ray player. This included about an hour of hold time, and being forwarded to over 4 different support staff, including an "escalated" forward to a "Level 5" support staff. I had to repeat the issue several times to the staff, including Yeng (Employee #C8WZ), Charlie (Employee #C75Y), and Mel (Employee #C822). The first staff I spoke with - Eric - told me he'd call back the next day after checking compatibility issues. Neither he, nor any other Sony staff, called back after 2 days, so I called support again - they had no record of my conversation with Eric, and I had to start the whole process over again. The Sony phone support so far has been very disappointing, to say the least. Any help would be appreciated. I'm guessing that by plugging in the USB with the folder structure, it somehow triggered a setting on the older BDP-S780 blu-ray player to use an updated setting - a setting that is common with the software on the newer blu-ray player. Has anyone else had a similar issue with one of the FD Trinitron WEGA tvs? Thanks for your help.

Your older TV is not capable of displaying either 1080P or any progressive program at tthat. On a standard definition (SD) non-progressive CRT like yours, blu-ray is a complete waste. Even if it could accept the signal, it wouldn't look any better.
