Each DVD player is assigned a code for the region in which it's sold. For example USA/Canada are Region 1 players. DVD players will refuse to play discs not coded for its specific region. In effect, this means that a DVD purchased in one country is normally unreadable on a DVD player bought in another region.

If your rental DVDs work in the player then there is nothing wrong with your DVD player. If you have purchased DVDs that do not work the problem is with the DVDs you have, not with the DVD player.

SOURCE: bdp s350 sony bluray player.

I would just like to add that I have a Sony BDP-S500 player and a Sony TV.

The Sony TV's remote was preprogrammed to control the Bluray player, which i discovered by accident, so I didn't have to mess with universal remote control codes or anything.

Hope that helps.

SOURCE: Movie 2012 BluRay loads menu but won't play on

Sony releases new firmware for the bdp-s350 ever so often to let it play newer movies. The last one can be downloaded from here firmware. Be sure to contact Sony with any problems so they can work on it for the next firmware. They are pretty good about updates as long as we let them know of any problems we are having.

If you are continuing to have problems let me know by sending me a message in the comments and I will go from there. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Take it easy and hope I helped.

My samsung TV will only play DVDs in black and white.

ensure the country region on the samsung bluray is set correctly to your country and tv set (NTSC OR PAL) at setup,
menu/system/setup - select country correctly - and this should detect another TV device if correctly connected through HDMI, and start the anyconnect application, if your Tv is another model, it wont. if playing DVD's in black and white it seems you might be located in another region to which you purchased the bluray player and differs from the set. did you buy the Bluray from the same store as the set?....please dont say ebay !

My samsung BluRay Player BD D5700 will play DVD's but will not play BluRay DVD's.

I had a similar issue. Try resetting your resolution. By default it should be at the highest level. I reset mine to 1080i and now the BluRays will play.

My TV is a few years old, I think it was bogging down because it was getting too much information from the player, but that's just a guess.

I have just brought a Samsung SMART TV and a Samsung BluRay player and we are experiencing audio lag when it plays some BluRay dvd's. The lag is quite severe (3-5 secs) on some dvd's. How can this...

I had the same issue with a Samsung 1580 BD player. Stopping the movie ans starting it again could sometimes solve the problem for a little while. The problem only occured when using bitstream sound. Switching to PCM never showed the problem. The player was faulty and was replaced by the shop.

My Samsung BD-P1600 will play a SD disc but the rental Bluray discs won't play. Is there any way to reset the player? THX.

It is not the player you need to reset, it is the rental DVD's. They are encrypted with a code to limit the amount of time they can be watched, thereby protecting them from being stolen or not returned. Send them back to the rental company and rent the same movies again. That is your only solution. Your player will play whatever is put into it. I hope this helps.

I am trying to watch a blu ray dvd bit it wont allow me to play it the player just ejects the disc. do I need a software update

Not sure what you are playing it on. A BLURAY disc needs a BluRay compatible disc player, PS3 has one built in. Most PC DVD drives dont play BluRay as standard. Normal HOME DVD players of course cant play them either.

Why does my samsung Blue Ray DVD player load to the menu but wont play the movie

Hello,

Just need to verify if your trying to play a Bluray Disc or regular DVD?

If Bluray Disc:
All you need to do is to check on the FW version of you BD player. Go to Set-up > System > System Information. SW will be the FW version info. Please be informed that the latest FW version is v2.12. If it will not resolved the concern, try to verify if its happening to all of your Bluray Disc.

Sincerely yours,
Genius 101
