People keep talking about the PS3 as a good player, so maybe I'll relent and allow a video game console near me to test it out! 

 

 

Unfortunately it is. It's very quiet too. Problem is that it lacks infrared so can't be controlled by the Beo4/5. I have to use the Sony Blu-ray remote.



You can simply get the RE-BL converter from wb_electronics. And then you can control the PS3 via Beo 5 easy and comfortable!

Double click problem has returned. Unplugging the system causes it to return to single click working....very strange.

Have had to unplug the system several times to fix the double clicking problem but eventually it returns. Any thoughts?

Hallo Razlaw,

The double click problem was caused from an incorrect PUC file that came with the Service Tool. The SONY bluray player needs the command twice to react. There is an entry in the appropriate PUC file (Sony_DVD_BDP300_V01,10a.dec) which seemed to be incorrect. I figured this out with my dealer nearly one year ago. Not sure if the problem still exists if the dealer now updates the ServiceTool. You or your dealer can search for the file and change the entry to NumSignalReps=2. Afterwards build your PUC again (with all your devices) and upload it to your system.

Good luck, Frank

Thanks!  But if it is a problem in the puc, how come the player has worked fine with single clicks for the past year? Why would the problem just occur now?  And also, when the problem does occur now, if I unplug the system and the plug back in the problem is gone. Everything works fine with single clicks and then after awhile it goes back to double clicks? 

Good questions. All I can say is that I had the problems since I added the player in my system. After the correction of the PUC everything is working perfect :-)

Thanks.  It is a very strange problem. I can use the player with single clicks, turns on and off at source change just as it should, all works fine. Then when I try to turn it on later it requires double clicks. Might try changing to a different HDMI output and see if that has any effect. 

Went into the puc menu and changed from Sony BDP-S300 to Sony BDP-XXX. Double click problem occurred with that setting as well. Tried puc for Sony DVD and nothing worked. Changed it back to Sony BDP-S300 and all is working again for now.....no double click problem.

Very strange and frustrating.

Double click problem returned again. I have now set the menu on the BV7 to manual and use  GO 9 to turn the player on and off rather than having it do so at source change automatically. So far no return of the double click problem. 

edit     after hours of functioning properly through multiple on/off cycles the double click problem resurfaced.

This is getting even more perplexing. I pulled out our old Sony BDP-S300 and set it up  next to the 550. When the double click problem occurs on the 550, if I remove the ir emitter from the 550 and put on the 300, the 300 works fine, no double click problem. So, the conclusion...the problem is with the 550......but......if I then replace the ir emitter on the 550 (no setting changes at all)  the 550 suddenly works again...double click problem is gone!
