I just bought a 3D TV (Samsung PN59D550). I have the Sony bdp-s570 plugged directly into the TV via HDMI, and when I tried to play Bolt 3D, I get the black screen with the message that the set up is not 3D capable and that I should ensure that my blu ray player is hooked up to a 3D capable device via HDMI. I don't get it. Any one else have any suggestions on how to make this work? I don't want to go buy another Blu Ray player, but I am thinking of buying a Samsung BluRay player to ensure compatibility between the two. This is frustrating.

Im not happy at all with the sony bdp-s570 and my Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX720 32-Inch 1080p 3D LED HDTV; TRON 3d won't play despite the most recent M04firmware update for the bdp player and a highspeed 2.0 hdmi cable....i followed all the instructions here on amazaon and elsewhere. yup, i can see Sony 3dexperience content in 3d. The glasses are the Sony TDG-BR250/B rechargeables. I don't get it - why will the TRON 3d Blu-ray refuse to play, after displaying thedisney castle? ? ? Im not the 1st with this problem of course. And no, i don't have a receiver in between the blu-ray and tv that needs firmware updating.

I've been trying to play 2 3D movies, but I in both cases I got a message saying that the player cannot display 3D movies. Does anybody have a clue why this is happening??????

I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D. My BDP-BX57 gives me the message that it cannot play 3D movies with this player. Why did I buy this 3D player again, not to mention the glasses, the DVD, and the 3D compatible TV? Sony's web site indicated that a "future" firmware update will enable 3D DVD playback. WHEN is this going to occur? And does SONY believe I would have purchased this player if I knew the product was not a functional 3D player, despite it's labeling? So I guess now I have to wait months for the product to be corrected, or spend more money hoping the next product won't be fraudulently marketed.Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray Disc Player, 3D-ready with built-in WI-FI I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D.

I talked to Sony Support people and the problem is not the Blu-Ray. The player is working just fine, but since it is connected to a Home Theater, the receiver needs to be updated in order to play 3D movies. So, If some of you have a similar problem, Don't panic!!!, check the Blu-Ray firmware as well as the home theater.

For anyone like myself who came here trying to find an answer as to why the 3D feature isn't working on your Blu-ray player, check your Output Video Format under Screen Settings. Mine was set on component, since my older TV that I had just upgraded from didn't have HDMI capability. Once I changed this setting to HDMI--voila!---, my 3D Blu-ray movie worked just fine.

Hello Richard. Don't panic!!! I finally got mine to work. In order to play 3D movies, ALL your devices (including the receiver) should 3D capable and the firmware should be updated. In my case, the blu-ray player is connected to a receiver and then to the 3D TV. After a lot of time chatting with sony tech people, they sent me the upgrade for the reciever (which is a very complicated process, by the way) and everything worked fine. After that, I haven't had any problems. Hope this will help you.

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.

To be honest I haven't played any blu-ray disc in it yet. So I can't really help you with an answer, sorry

It doesn't play blu-ray discs, but you can get an external blu-ray player which uses a USB connection. There is one on sale at TigerDirect right now which should work for you. Here's the link, below. You may even be able to find better and/or less expensive ones with a bit of shopping around.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3170776&CatId;=3634

No, this is a all region 1,2,3,4 blue ray player only. You would have to find a player that plays 3-D discs.

I've not tried 3-D. I needed a zone 1 & 2 blu ray player. I've never seen a decent 3-D DVD player.

Yes, I have played 3d movies on this Epson projector via a 3d Blueray DVD, and not a download (suggest you buy a 3d Blueray DVD movie and "Avatar" is supposed to be a good test of 3d capabilities). You first must charge the glasses and once that is done, you have to initialize them that using the button on the glasses themselves, when done correctly, will show same on the screen, something like "Glasses are ready to use." Then, using the remote control, press the 2D/3D button which is on the left in the 9th row from the top. That should get you a 3d picture although there are other adjustments you can make. REVIEW THE MANUAL FOR MORE INFORMATION. I cannot speak for downloads as I have never tried that myself. Also, don't forget, to play a 3d Blueray DVD, you must have a 3d DVD player!

3D, but old school checkerboard 3D. You would need to get another 3D player of some type to be able to actually utilize 3D, like a Panasonic 3D blu-ray unit. The unit may experience a chip failure as the previous user said, but it is a fairly inexpensive repair and the picture is VERY good. I have seen some of these units advertised on craigslist for fairly low prices.

Supposedly, but I believe it is only for computer input. I don't believe you can hook up a 3D Blu-Ray player and watch a 3D movie. So, for most people the answer is "it won't do 3D that you want it to do." It is still a nice projector

Yes, it does. However, I run 3D through my system from both 3D Blu-Ray and DirecTV without any troubles. The video processor seems to have no problems with 3D with regard to my experience.

I play 3D movies from a Pansonic Blu-ray on this TV. It looks AWESOME to me. (But it is the only 3D TV I have ever seen in person, so I have nothing to compare it to).

I play mine on a sony Blu-ray/DVD player. It plays both DVDs and Blu-ray discs and have had no problems.

I've been told it does not work with 3D. I'm presuming the reason Sony is dropping the price now is that a new version is coming out that fixes the gracenote problems (hard to deal with discs that are not on gracenote) AND the next version will be 3D capable. This is strictly a guess, but every other Sony Bluray player is now 3D capable except this one. And since all the 3D movies aren't coming out unitl later this fall... I should just go and put in a 3D movie and see though. Sony's support on this player does seem to be a bit weak.
