weird glitch in Samsung BD-P1500

[Berting]

My BD-P1500 has behaved quite well with the firmware 3.1, recently. No wierd happenings at all since the incident with the Green Hornet. Just like advanced computers, you occasionally have to burn incense and do a special dance to make them work properly. In reality something as simple as unplugging the player for 1 hour, then turning it on again, can remove all the gremlins.

yeah haven't experienced any oddities for awhile until no sound again tonight but its common routine to just turn it off and back on and its fixed lol.

Might enjoy playing The Artist on my BD-P1500, don't need sound.

At this point, its more of a mild discomfort than a flat out paranoia trip on my ocd-like characteristics when it comes to my setup. I just wish anything related to my tv never had issues. It hasn't happened for a long time and then just tonight I pause Seven for a split second to adjust myself and my dog on my lap and then it wont communicate with the remote to play or anything but power off. It came right back on and worked but I shouldn't have to do this to begin with especially when I am 99% positive its a firmware issue.

Like I said, not a big deal, but I have to tell myself that every time an incident occurs. Would you even upgrade to the newest firmware when it comes out in hopes that this issue could be resolved?

I still find that my BD-P1500 runs faster and misbehaves, less often with firmware 3.1. The above incident happened to me a few times with older firmware, not yet with version 3.1.
Nevertheless, I find with most of my electronic equipment (whether modems routers laptops or Blu-ray players) I have to unplug them for a short period from time to time for them not to misbehave. Kind of like rebooting the pc from time to time.

I just switched players and am now using the 1600 that was in my room in the living room.

Experienced no sound out of it once tonight while attempting to play a film...I am starting to think powering on the player and immediately putting in the disc is the wrong way to go. I have been turning on the player, letting it run for 30 seconds and put the disc in with no issues.

I power on the TV, wait 30 sec, then power on the player wait 30 sec, or more, then open insert disc, no sound issues. My Toshiba TV manual suggested doing this if using HDMI.

My 1500 is still kicking, I have noticed it takes a little longer to load certain titles (especially universal) but its still going strong...

It took forever to load ET, so much so I turned it off and back on without waiting that much longer...

So is mine. In fact as I said in another thread since the firmware update of Dec 2011, it has been excellent. BTW, it did take a while to load ET.
