s300 skipping with dvd's - Blu-ray Forum

Mayor Quimby · 01-11-2008, 02:55 AM

I first noticed this a month ago when it skipped during the layer transition in the middle of a film. It just skipped ahead about 2 seconds. No biggie. But I'm watching LOTR tonight and it's now skipping about 2 seconds ahead every 10 minutes or so. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I'll update the firmware as soon as I can get near a PC (I'm a Mac user). Any help/advice is appreciated!

Okay. Updated the firmware. Now, I'm no longer getting the intermittent skips - instead, I'm getting hangups about halfway through the disc. Strange. I have to actually shut the player off and reboot to get it to work again and I lose my place in the film. Anyone else experience this sort of thing???

I have an S300 and had no problems...

I had that problem with my BD10 panasonic with rental movies but when I started cleaning them before I played them no further issues.

Thanks, Deacon. I'll try blowing them off before I run them.

I have a lot of trouble with Netflix rentals. I wash them with liquid soap & water, but, I think the scratches are the culprit. Hard to beat the price and service , though.

I actually got one from Blockbuster Online that had little tiny finger prints on it in what appeared to be dried peanut butter.

I have the S300 and have no problems. May want to try cleaning discs with warm water.

I have firmware 3.70 on my S300. It freezes on occasion (so far FIVE different movies). My discs are clean as a whistle. I end up doing the power reset to get it running again. I hope the next firmware upgrade will solve the problem.

Just tried watching Dady Day camp twice and both times it from in the middle of the film at about 44 mins, happened with shoot em up as well, didnt have these problems til I updated the firmware to play sunshine, which played fine

Followup:
I reset the machine back to the original manufacturer settings(hold the stop and play button until it powers off) and reinstalled the latest firmware and I fixed the freezing issue. All is good now
