Hey, Guys!

It's simple. Today I bought a new Sony Blu-Ray and rented the movie DOOMSDAY on Blu-ray and when I insert the disc it takes a while to load and after I press PLAY, the player just turns OFF and starts over again. Regular DVD are playing FINE.

ANy help, should I returnit and get a New ONE?

thanks for the advice!

Ed.

Which player? I can post a link to the binary and instructions.

ok, perfect.

It's Sony BDP S301

here for the link. Want some advice? If you can spare the difference, return the 301 and look for a 350. Faster load times, more audio decodes, better, better, better.

Oh, that .exe will decompress to a .iso image of a CD. Burn that .iso to a CD and remember to finalize. Insert CD into your 301 and it'll take a 20'ish minutes to fully complete. Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.

]CAB, do you really think this should end the problem??

any past experiences... I'm just new with this..

btw, thanks for the link

My Pop has the BDP-S300 which is the same hardware. I keep his player on current firmware and he has no playback issues. I'm confident this will solve the playback/reboot issue.
