Yeah I had the same problem. Although it appears that the blu ray disc player is immediately ready to reed any disc, there are a few steps to take in order to change each time the region your disc belongs to. First of all, press SETUP on your remote, then insert the 1369 code. Now press 1 to enable region A, 2 for region B, 3 for a region C disc... and finally press SETUP again. Enjoy your view!

Have you tried to click on the Players menu, there are several settings for making changes.

You should change the player region. To do that just follow the steps: 1. Press SETUP 2. Enter Code 1369 3. You will then see a menu where you can view the DVD region code and Blu Ray Region code. 4. The DVD code is already set to 0, which means it will play ANY Region DVDs with no further changes. 5. For Blu Ray. press 1 for region A, Press 2 for Region B and press 4 for Region C. 6. Press SETUP so the settings will save. you can change them as you wish. 7. You are done. Enjoy your DVD Player!

You might try upgrading the firmware on your current player -- that may solve your disc compatibility problems

Thanks for the update. I ended up buying the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player after all my investigations and it has turned out to be a great device.I hardly use it for disc playback though, but it's nice to know that the option is there.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong??? I can't play the latest Wizard Of Oz Blu ray disk from Netflix.Thanks!

I just purchased the Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray players and I'm having the same problem as posted by C. Wagnon; anyone out there has a solution! If I can't use the wifi connection, I'll be returning the darn player!

I have the same question; did you find any blu-ray player that reproduce dvd's zone 4?

For some different region discs in order for it to be compatible with this player, you might have to use the remote & manually change the zone for it to be compatible. I know that some region discs change automatically to be compatible. If using the remote doesn't work or adjusting the cords in the back of the TV, then I don't know what the issue is.

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

J.F I haven't had any problems lately, however the titles I mentioned above still will not load. I've called Sony but all they wanna say is make sure your firmware is updated. I haven't tried WoO, but Ill try it tonight when I get home. Hopefully its just your disc from Netflix...

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

My BD player also requires semi frequent unplugging to resolve freezing or disc loading fine, like getting menu prompts to work, froze. And cannot manually or remotely open tray or turn power off/on. Recently ONLY my Star Trek season sets did this in addtion to NOT recognizing the discs or load properly or at all.....so I did a factory reset and it resolved issue.

Perhaps you need firmware to play or disc is defective. To find out play disc on someone else's blu ray player if it doesn't then you know it's the disc.

I had this problem with Netflix discs. Note that there is a second firmware update, which might help. Also, when I talked to Sharp, they suggested I unplug the player, and then run the setup and select the reset option. That seems to work, also. I've just ordered another blu-ray from Netflix. I'm hoping the new firmware update fixes the "locking" problem.

My Unit never played DVDs from the beginning. Never played DVDs from the box. I thought it was a region code issue but it is not. Then I though it was an Firmware issue so I upgraded from V26 to V29. Still does not play DVDs. I bought it from Amazon LLC directly. If I would have found out this after I purchased the unit, I would have gave Amazon a piece of my mind. But it's too late now as a couple years has gone by. Please learn from my mistake. I bought a VERY EXPENSIVE CD Player (Philips HTS8100/37).

I just bought Planet Earth (Blu-Ray) and it plays great on my Aquos player and I haven't had to load any updates (yet). If you figure it out, let us know. Good luck.

-Blu-Ray Zones A + B/C / DVD Regions 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 // DVD Regions are set to automatic / Switching Blu Ray Zones are done with the Remote Control. The unit must be in the power mode/normal stand by ........NOT QUICK START --- QUICK START MUST BE OFF *Turn Off the player by pressing power button on the remote, wait 5 seconds until it is OFF ....the *On the Remote Press button 1 for Blu Ray Zone A and Region 123456 DVD PAL/NTSC , or * On the Remote Press button 2 for Blu Ray Zone B and Region 123456 DVD PAL/NTSC, or On the Remote Press button 3 for Blu Ray Zone c and Region 123456 DVD PAL/NTSC *Turn the play ON and insert your DVD/BD // These instruction are on the separate sheet that came with unit and not in the Operating Instructions booklet. Again the key is that Zones can only be changed while the Quick Start Mode is off. The process is a little clunky, but it does work. I bought my unit so that I could watch the David Lynch collection I have. With the internet I am always finding programs I want to watch that are only available in Zone B.
