This is something I never had on my DVD players, some af them as old as the format itself.
Do any one here have any coment to this situation,? Thanks

A BD player is more complex compared to a DVD player A BD player has a motherboard, memory, a chip, Ethernet, LAN and many have a cooling fan just like a PC.

All that hardware is why I hate to hear people complain about slow load times for a BD when in fact it is performing boot up similar to a PC.
