Hi all
Tonight we rented a bluray from a local shop and it would load to the trailer on the bv7 but not any further.
We rushed out to the shops and rented the same film. Sat down and the bluray would not play at the same point.
At this time I was getting more and more upset that my tv was playing up in front of my friends.
Then went and got the ps3 from the bedroom and it played perfectly with both disks.

What could this be any idea's?

Sounds like you need a front end update on your Blu-Ray player in your BV7. Additionally, a back-end update may cure the problem as well depending on the software you are running currently.

I have the same problem with my PS3, Toy Story 3 plays through all the material, but goes black when the menu should appear. The PS3 is updatet to the latest software. Don't know if the problem it is the TV or the PS3. (BV7-MK3)

Nope, this is a known problem with certain modern Blu-ray's, due to the encryption on the disc. I lent Inception to a friend with an old PS3 and he couldn't play the disc. Worked fine on both my recent PS3 and BV7-40.

Maybe the new software update for blu-ray in BeoVison 7 will solve the problem.

New firmware: 110324 (relased 27/4)

The new firmware will help the blu-ray playability with some titles:

- “Inglorious Basterds”
- “OSS 177”
- “Robin Hood BD”
- Disney Blu-ray and DVD
- Replay of “Avatar” may give a warning message about software update.
- Audio interference when playing “Toy Story 2” and “Lords of the Rings Trilogy”
- Intermittent picture freeze seen on “Sherlock Homes” and “Toy Story”

 

The update is possible with a CD-ROM with the firmware. Contact your dealer if you need the update with CD-ROM.

You can also update with ethernet-cable connected:

1. Before you switch on the TV, insert the Ethernet cable in the TV.

2. TV must be in standby, no disc in the loader. Press /DVD/, wait until 'NO DISC' is displayed on the screen and make sure the loader is closed.

3. Enter the Setup menu on your Beo5 by pressing /DVD setup/ (if you use a Beo4 press /YELLOW/ and then /8/).

4. Select 'ADVANCED' and press /GO/.

5. Select 'SOFTWARE UPDATE'. The Blu-ray player now automatically searches for new software, and the new software will be displayed on the screen.

6. Press /GREEN/ on Beo5 to start the software update (If you use a Beo4 press /GREEN/ twice) and follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

Hi all
Thanks for all of your quick replies.
I will try and update my bluray software via ethernet today.
i do know that my backend firewarm is not correct for the build level my tv has as it did not take last time.
I will attempt an update today if that does not work i will try and get my local to pop over and update the firmware for me and see how we get on.

Thanks

It's a very complex standard and all implementations are bound to have some bugs which will only surface when a content provider exercises some new feature.

OMG that's not cool. Is that why is hasn't really caught on as a recording medium say in laptops etc? I thought DVDs were bad enough with skipping etc (DVD1 owner :) )    I like the look of the Samsung players and the fact they often go with B&O however whenever I read magazine reviews, they always fall way behind Sony & Panasonic in terms of picture quality - what's your views guys?
