has anyone used this on a blu ray player? If yes, how did you set it up? Directions in the box were not very good.

Don't even bother trying. If you can return this piece of junk, do it.Spend a few more dollars and get something better.

It's highly unlikely that this will work on a Blu-Ray player. When you plug this in to a windows PC, the PC sees this as a thumb drive and allows you to load the windows drivers that are stored on the device. I also know that Fedora Linux 17 will load this device without needing any extra software.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

I believe there is an amazon instant video app now available for SmartHub. So. You would connect the blu ray player to your network, download updates, install amazon instant video app, then you can watch amazon tv through the bluray's "Smart" features.*Based on Charlie's response, perhaps the streaming app was never released for the blu ray player.. As he suggested though you may want to look into adding a Roku - I bought a refurb roku 2 xs for 48 bucks shipped and it's great. Roku 3 is not worth it if you're mainly looking to stream content*

I guess if you dont have a DLNA TV you can use the blu-ray player as receiver (connected to the tv).That would be why I would be looking for a DLNA enabled blu-ray player

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.

Sorry, can't help. I put new batteries in mine and it worked with the blu ray player perfectly.

Regular Lan adaptor won't work. You have to buy one from Samsung, and it costs more that the blu Ray player. Like Sony stuff...it's propriatory!

You need to format it as a FAT32 drive. It comes pre-formatted with the NTFS file system--which can't be read by most Blu-ray players.

This player only has an HDMI output. Does your TV have component video inputs? These would be three RCA jacks that are blue, red and green. If so, you can get an HDMI to component video adapter. I've never used one and have no idea how well they work. If you just have a yellow RCA video input jack, then you'd be better off buying a non-blu ray player, as you can't get high definition video through the single yellow video input. Hope this helps!

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.

Could you please be more specific? What if I just go straight from the blu-ray player to my Sony Bravia with a HDMI cable? How does the receiver enter into the mix? I am not seeing any upscaling either.

I didn't play with it enough to see if the Bluray INPUTS sounds from the HDMI. (I believe the HDMI is for output.) The optical digital is easy to pipe any sound that would normally be coming out of the TV into the bluray. ie VCR, Wii, laptop. Set the bluray on "TV" and it plays whatever the TV speakers would be playing. (I'll have to check if there is an "HDMI input" mode on the Bluray.)-Will

Honestly, I purchased this and sent it back the following day after setting it all up and was unable to get the blu ray player to open or make any noise. Wish I could help more. Ended up buying a Bose surround sound and hooking it up to my old Samsung blu ray player.

While I have never tried to use it with Blu Ray Player, it does have an HDMI cable port. If your Blu Ray Player uses an HDMI cable, it may well work. I cannot positively say that is the case though.

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

I tossed the package, but I joked one up to me new ?blu Ray player and the other one to my brother in laws new Samsung ?Blu Ray Player. That is about all I can answer. Is there a test I could do for you?

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.
