BD-S300 Player Issues with 3.8 - Blu-ray Forum

Carlsberg19 · 04-30-2008, 11:14 PM

Ever since upgrading to the 3.80 firmware i am noticing problems with playing MOST blu-rays, i.e. when attempting to play "The Guardian" and "World Trade Center" i have the player freeze on the "your movie is about to start" resulting in me having to turn off/on the player, basically theses 2 titles dont play anymore when they have done with previous firmware versions, not only that but MOST blu rays i attempt to play the "player" freezes resulting in me having to power of the player, keep it powered off for 30 seconds, turn it back on and it plays. The reason i post this is im interested in finding out if anyone else is having similar problems ?!

Can you reinstall firmware 3.70? Since my player is working fine I refuse to jinx it with another firmware upgrade.

Mine is working fine with the with the latest upgrade.
I must say that I have never had a major problem with this player since I got it.

A disc freeze once or twice but that was it.

You should call Sony up and see what they have to say about it.

3.80 is utter crap. Some BDJ's load faster, some slower. I'm only keeping it because I haven't had problems aside from that. I think I still have my 3.70 disc, but not sure it would install over a newer version.

I don't care if the next firmware upgrade is the last one, just fix it, and make it faster. PERIOD!
