Samsung BDP-1000 problem

[FrankZ]

I've had mine for a couple of months and have watched a few BR movies without any problems to speak of till this evening. I put in a brand new BR DVD and the player would not load the disc. There was a message on the screen saying the disc could not be played.

I tried a few more BR DVD's that we've watched with out any problems in the past...none of them will load!

Next step was to try a SD DVD...loaded without any problems at all.

Went back to another previously viewed BR DVD...same damn thing! Front panel display says NO DISC!

I even tried pulling the plug and letting the unit sit for a minute or two before plugging it back in. Same problem.

Before you ask, yes I installed the firmware update the same day I bought the player.

Anyone else experience this mess?

FWIW, It won't even read a CD-R for a Firmware update now.
