AQUOS BDP novice needs help, help please. - Blu-ray Forum

Lusciousjones · 02-12-2008, 02:52 AM

Just received my new Sharp Aquos BD player after buying a 42" Aquos LCD. Has anybody had problems such as "Reading Disc" after inserting a BD? I inserted it and it just keeps reading disc. Also, Pixar Short Films BD has no sound. I returned the disk for another one at a different Best Buy, and still no sound. I have the lasted Firmware, but still having some issues. most discs do play with incredible Audio/Video display, but some are giving me a problem.
Anybody having similar experiences? If so, any ideas what to do besides smashing it!!

Did you not have another post on this topic? you asked for help and looked like no one replied right away so you asked again? I just responded to your first thread and have to agree with the first response here. More times than not, it is a update that is the issue. Go and update your system, though it is new, they don't update at the factory. Once these are manufacturered, they sit in box until a customer gets them so are out of date.

Sounds like this is the problem so give it a shot and if that does not work, write back and let us know.

thanks guys, but my current firmware is the same as the update. BD-HP20U Firmware Version HU7103100. Seems it's only disks made by disney or pixar. I'll contact Sharp. Will update the forum when it's resolved.

Speaking of a the 42 in. Aquos has anyone heard about a faint gray or like distortion line running down the dead center of the screen? I noticed it the other day and now I can't not notice it. Very subtle but very apparent when the background is a bright solid color. Any tips or ideas or anything?
