Picture and sound cuts in and out? Day 1 conneted to PS3 and played Frozen worked great. Day 2, picture and sound cut in and out every 10 seconds?

This is what happened to me with the first couple I purchased. You just have to keep returning until you get a good one

I would suggest unplugging and plugging cables again (at both ends). If it still persists, try another set of cables. Also, try moving this PS3, Porta box and cables to another TV to see if it's the input going bad on your TV.

Playstations are weird with their display outs. Make sure you're sending a resolution you TV supports. Put frozen back in and see. Check connections.

well, it happened to me about 3 months ago. Totally bricked and useless. I looked it up here and all over the net... and it's just a bad unit and everybody's broke. I gave up and got my 20 year old Onyko unit out of the garage. Doesn't do much and there are limitations, but it sounds better. I don't have the $$ to fix it. Such a drag. At least it's not a SONY it might have broken sooner! :-)

Thanks,I called to Sony to get my setup mike replaced and while at it, I asked about this. He gave the same explanation. Putting 4.5 in Bluray today. Nice toys !

Thats a long freeze. I've never had one like that but I had plenty when I was using this player. It would freeze for about 10 seconds in several Blu-ray movies I owned. I've only heard about it from a handful of people so I'm wondering if random players are leaving the factory bad. Can you get a decent Blu-ray player for under 200 bucks? I had a Samsung before this that had Audio sync problems. At this point I have like 15 Blu-ray discs and no player. I refuse to pay more than 200 for one as I could spend a little more than that and build a Home Theater PC.

Were you able to switch it back to Region 1, and did that solve the "disc error" problem? I unlocked my player and it worked well for three months, then -- bam! -- the same problem as you. So I guess the firmware has a bug in it or something?

If its like mine, it won't play because the Philips BDP5012 is a piece of junk. I'm tossing mine in the trash and getting a Sony, maybe a PS3. Good luck

Sorry but I will need more information. What do you mean by "stop after 15 min" ? Was it no power at all or would not play a DVD? I have been using my Sony for years and occasionally have to unplug it and replug it in to clear internal glitches, but other than that I have had no trouble at all.

The choppy sound is only for the first few seconds of the video and then it's clearing up. I'm more concerned about the choppy video. The video plays great on the WDTV though except there's no sound for the first 6 seconds of the video but after that it's fine and video looks great. There's definitely some flaws playing the 60p with the PS3.

No I don't have this system but I was gonna buy it soon. This would be primarily for playing my 360 so any potential problems with that gets me concerned about it. Are all your cables hdmi 1.4? Even though I don't think that is the problem I always wondered if I ran my PS3 or 360 with hdmi 1.4 to the receiver and the one to the t.v is 1.3 or 1.2 if it would cause problems with the picture. I have always opted for a whole theater in a box but am recently building a surround sound and am trying to learn the system a little bit first.

I've had mine for almost three years, but I didn't start using it often until recently. I had problems playing some Disney Blu-Ray disks I purchased for my son... The picture and sound would cut out intermittently when watching the movies, and it seemed to get worse each time we watched them. I figured my problem had something to do with anti-piracy nonsense, since I refused to update the firmware... A friend ended up an expensive paperweight when he did the firmware update. I solved my problem (at least so far) by taking my home theater receiver out of the loop and connecting the blu-ray player directly to the TV via HDMI. So far, so good.

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

I have a very similar problem with my PS3 connecting to my Sony 46" LCD (Z Series). I have been testing the conditions and doing a complete system reset on the PS3 always takes care of the issue, but takes some time to redo all settings. I have been looking for answers on the various forums without luck. Also, turning on and off both the TV and PS3 takes care of the issue without doing the reset. I have found out that having everything working fine if I turn off the TV only and back on, the sound is gone. I believe is a decoding issue the TV has, for some reason if the TV starts after the PS3 it does not recognize the HDMI audio source. I know this does not cover your ONKYO issue but gives you a start. (I have downloaded the latest 3.10 update for PS3 and have not seen any problems just yet (for 3 days) but I am not very confident since I have been updating both the TV and PS3 constantly. I am considering upgrading my old 5.1 Kenwood A/V Receiver just to take care of this issue.

You are right, it is linked to the BD-Live option, but if you reset of inactivate BD-Live, it goes away. I have 2 player, the BDT215 and BD85K and I have no issues till date. The freezing, pixelating issue seems to be a disc issue. Some players can play slighly imperfect disc better. But this is possibly the best player on market currently.

I had same issue, could not get N64 to do anything, Got sound to go through once with the SNES. I returned it.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

I just had an 11 minute freeze on Benjamin Buttons Blue Ray. Froze from 1:16 to 1:27. I rebooted, and repeatedly tried no fixes. Just couldn't correct it. No freeze on Slumdog Millionaire. These are the first two movies I played on my new Blueray.
