Panasonic DMP-BD60 not reading new Sony discs - Blu-ray Forum

diL · 12-08-2012, 11:10 PM

My Panasonic DMP-BD60 is not reading new Sony discs (MIB 3, Amazing-Spiderman). They worked last week and have spontaneously stopped now? Other movies work (Dark Knight Rises) and even older Sony movies work (Green Hornet). I did a firmware update to 2.6 thinking that would help, but no luck. Please Help.

wow, sorry to hear it. do you have another player you can test them out in, say a ps3 or something? or do you have a friend that has a blu-ray player you can try the discs out in?

Just tried it on a Sony BDP-S570 and started right up perfectly.

That's not good news, I have a Panasonic DMP-BD60 here in my apartment, hopefully that's not the case for everyone

I disconnected the ethernet cable from the back and it is working now. It is some weird issue with BD-Live while the disc is loading.

I think I've heard that can be a problem with our players, idk why though

Hopefully you can re-connect the cable and simply turn off BD Live in the menu and have the discs spin up?

Also turning off quick start may help as per Panasonic. I think this is an early warning sign that you may need to replace your player. I had 4 trouble free years with my DMP BD80 & then it refused to load a new BD & a week later a 2nd & had trouble with a 3rd. Panasonic doesn't continue with FW updates after a few years. But, they will not admit this. My last FW update was from over 1 year ago. I gave up & bought an Oppo based on great reviews (despite the high cost vs. other players.)
