I had the same problem the Wolfman Blu-ray and traced the problem down to the flash drive I had connected to the USB port. When I disconnected it, loaded like a charm, not even the hint of a hiccup.

I had a similiar problem but it seems to cure easily. First, my opinion is that the very tight pitch on a blu-ray makes it critical to have a disc inserted correcly (i.e. aligned). I kept getting the 'no disc' error message but would then take the disc out and 'clean it' i.e. really just rub it on a cloth and reinsert and it played. In summary, I think this player is just plain finicky/pick....BUT....it makes for a great picture and awesome sound once you 'clean' and reinsert it...try it...

Better off to avoid models that have bad reputations like Samsung, What gets me is that they had problems with last years models, and are having the same complaints about this years models as well. It is ridiculous that they only offer a 90 day labor warranty at this price point. The worst thing is it tarnishes the whole brand. Fortunately, Sammy TVs seem to work better than their Blu-Ray players - different software - different division I guess.

No, I opted for my money back and bought a new blu-ray player at Target instead. The Target price was good and the unit worked right out ofthebox. I have been pleased with most of my electronics purchases on Amazon, especially bevause you can get your money back if an item is returned.

did you find a way to get it to work, cuz when i asked samsung they said 3-d ready doesnt mean 3-d blu ray?--- i asked and thats what i got i want to get a 3d blu ray player and i already have the ir emitter and glasses that works through the computer but only with pics, small clips and games, and dvds-- but have to download a bunch of crap to make it work. let me know if the starter kit and player works?

I have owned my Samsung Blu-ray for a few months now and have had a very good experience. Amazon is somewhat slow to load and Netflix can be even slower sometimes, but that has very little to do with the unit and more to do with networks and servers. If you get a frozen screen, the first thing to do is hit the return button. This will reboot the connection, taking you back to the activation screen to try again. Sometimes Netflix can get overloaded and you will not get on again. Again this would be nothing to do with the unit. Hope this helps. I love using it.

I regret to tell you that this BD drive lasted 2 weeks only, it is not reliable. it was too late for me to return the product the warranty was no longer available when I decided to return it, the bad side they not response very well to my email, what I mean is no answer to my request. if you have a Win 8 system, it should be installed. yes it will burn and write Blu-ray disk, but it will not last and thats what you get if the item is cheap. if I am you I will return and refund the amount before the warranty is over, because you'll regret it. buy a Samsung or sony those are realiable for a Blurry drive.

DLP: Like others, my BD390 quit playing many of the newer bluray discs a couple weeks ago. Firmware is current. After first discussion with LG support, I took the unit to an authorized electronic repair. Am told the unit is working properly but CANNOT be updated further to play the newer blurays coming out, despite firmware updates. Spoke again TODAY with LG support and they confirmed this. Was told there was NO upgrade available for the unit and that NO discount would be given on purchasing a newer LG unit! They were amazingly indifferent and told me I was "out of luck".......would either have to accept the fact this unit was ALREADY outdated for current and upcoming blurays, or buy a newer unit. I WILL NOT BE BUYING FUTURE LG PRODUCTS. DLP

Funny you should ask, I have a Samsung blu-ray player and it didn't work. I think it's a Memorex manufacturer issue. The disc itself is not a blu-ray disc it is simply a regular dvd. This means the cleaning disc does not engage the blu-ray laser so the lens never gets cleaned. The regular dvd laser lens does however get cleaned. Blu-ray players have two separate laser lenses, one for dvds and another for blu-ray discs.

I just sent the same request to Amazon customer service. Maybe if they get enough requests something will happen. our BD 570 is only 2 years old - so were not ready to go shopping for a new Blu-ray player yet.here are the links for customer service @ both sites - if we barrage them with requests - maybe something will happen?https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=508510&https://wws.lg.com/us/support/message-customer-support

i have gone through 2 Vizio Blu ray players. The first one stopped playing blu rays although, it still played DVDs. I looked it up online and it said that it needed an update. I went to the website, and looked it up and no update. I contacted Vizio directly by emailing them. I was unsatisfied as I had only had their product not even a year. The guy told me that I was basically out of luck. He said that they no longer offer updates on this model and that I would have to purchase a new blu ray player. I was not satisfied with that answer as it should have been still under warranty. I called Vizio. I talked to a Supervisor. This guy immediately apologized and sent out another blu ray player. Haven't had this a year and the SAME issue. Only I am getting an error when I try to update it, that says it cannot update it. : / I will NEVER buy a VIZIO blu ray player again. I have an LG blu ray player that has been wonderful!!! Haven't had an issue yet. If you haven't had this player for a year then I would call them and tell them your issue, especially if it isn't updating.

Called Samsung but they weren't helpful....without an extended warranty, I'm out of luck. Only bright spot: It hasn't gotten worse. Now we're in the habit of turning on the TV, leaving for half an hour, and then coming back to it. It usually resolves by then...usually. But it's a big pain. Definitely never buying another Samsung. Let me know if you hear anything.

Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) I have found that Sony products are not as reliable as they used to be. I have nowswitched to the Panasonic and Samsung Blu ray players. I think my preference is Panasonic. Even their tv's are not as reliable as they used to be.I also have the s580 and have had no problem with it .

Hello. I have not had any problems with the DVD's or Blu-Rays I have bought. It has worked flawlessly every time. Perhaps it is possible to have trouble with homemade discs, but I have not tried any of mine in the player.

I tossed the package, but I joked one up to me new ?blu Ray player and the other one to my brother in laws new Samsung ?Blu Ray Player. That is about all I can answer. Is there a test I could do for you?

My advice would be to go for the LG. The Samsung is a good player but the LG is multi-region Blu-ray with a remote code and a simple hack makes it multi-region for DVD too. The Samsung has a Reon scaler & the LG a QDEO scaler, both are excellent. I had the LG for almost 3yrs, it's a solid piece of kit and with the right firmwares (go to avs forums for these) you can play burnt BD - Rs & - REs, it plays all the HD audio types & it was updated to 'BD Live' for all the on-line stuff some discs have. The Samsung is a good machine & has its fans but I think the LG offers more.

Where did you get the firmware 2.5 ? My BD-P1500 is having problems reading new bluray discs.
