Hi All,

I've just bought the new Sony BDP-S550 Blu-Ray player and am having dramas trying to get the 'select' to work. This worked on my old BDP (original model) however with this one i'm unable to select with the 'Go' button on my Beo4. I've tried double/single presses. It appears that if i press 'Go' four times the 'Play icon' is displayed, not sure if that helps. 

Does anyone have experience with this? I've tried both BDP-XXXX and BDP-3000/3300 through Options on my BS3 but no joy.

Does it sound like a new PUK is in order??

Thanks,

Ash.

Hi,

 

I have a Sony BDP-S350 BR player and controlling it with a Beo4 works quite fine. I have my BS3 configured for a Sony BDP-S300. Take a look and check if your BS3 has that player installed.

 The only problems I have is, that a few keys from the original remote are not supported by the puc setting I use. The key most missed, is the DISPLAY key.

Hi apearce,

 

the BDP-S350 and BDP-S550 are the two new Blu-Ray players from Sony and they use the same remote.

Apologies, i didn't realise they were the same remote.

Do you mind explaining where you have your IR, i've played around with moving it and i get mixed results.

Also, when you browse the BDP menu (PS3 like menu), do you have to press left and right twice for them to work or just once?

It could be my placement of the IR transmitter that could be causing this.

Thanks,

Ash.

Hi,

I bought the BDP-S350 yesterday. I have now the same result. I have to press the buttons twice. And the player does not switch on if I select the source (DVD in my case). Maybe I have to install a Ypbr cable as well? Does anybody has some experience with the SONY blu-ray players?

Happy new year

Frank

Sony nearly always marks the IR sensor with an R in a square. On the BDP-S550 this is below the 24p indicator light. Try the emitter there.

Hi,

thank you for the help.
I tried the sensor in several positions, always the same.
However my dealer came to me programmed the PUC again and it works. But when I switched on the system again, same effect. I have to press the buttons twice. Very annoying.
Can anyone confirm that one of the SONY blu-ray players (S300, S350, S500, S550) can be controlled with the PUC in a normal way?

Thank you
Frank

Hallo,

I found a solution to control the SONY blu-ray with the PUC. But you have to edit the xml file in the ServiceTool. There is a line with NumSignalReps. You have to update the value to 2.

NumSignalReps=2

Then it will work. But this means that it can not work without that. So I wonder if anybody can control a SONY blu-ray in a way it should work.
