I'm not sure I know what you mean. Is it just not working with the TV that you have? Is it hooked up correctly (HDMI is the best way to use it)? What brand of TV are you trying to use?My TV that I use is a Vizio 32-inch 3D TV, and it works perfectly fine. So what is the exact problem that you're having?

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.

That would e a good question for you to ask Sony mfg. Contact your Sony support to find out if it is defective and needs to be repaired, or if there is something that needs to be configured by you. Make sure everything you are using,(TV, Blueray, HDMI Cables, Etc.) are for 3D viewing. If they are not, that may be one of your problems.

I will try this when I get home (I'm almost 100% positive that it will work :-)). I'm seeing the same problem in my blueray home theatre system. Thanks for sharing the resolution.

Had the same issue with my Bly Ray and it ended being the settings in the Bly Ray to accept a smart TV. Different cable shouldn't fix it but it is an option. I have seen older receivers have issues sometime with these new smart TV's

My Sony BDP-s550 just stopped playing blu-ray discs as well. I tried to upgrade the firmware but that failed. Sony support couldn't help me to get it working either. I ended up throwing it in the trash. This was very frustrating. I will definitely not buy another Sony blu-ray player.

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!

My unit was NTSC-specific. Perhaps Sony makes a region-specific unit you could use.

Dave I am using mine with a non-smart TV and since everything goes through the Blu ray player this should not be the case . By the way this is an excellent unit and I have no problems watching any of my streaming services.

Works well with my Sony Blu Ray player so I don't see why not. Stream is consistent with no buffering. 802.11n

I own the same player but I bought in Australia. It works fine with Blue-ray Region B and with some Region A discs (I'm not sure why?), but this is not a region free player.

It is mentioned that some newer BlueRays will not work, but just having completed a trip from Texas to California, I have not had that issue yet. There is almost always a way to update the firmware, I'd check support and see if/what that is.

While this is a feature of the newer HDMI standard, few (if any) models (TVs/Blu-ray/receivers/etc) out there support this.

You need to have dvd or bluray player software mine works great. Burns blueray and dvds fine also as long as you specify the speed and not use autodetect

Laurence, I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting. jm
