Movies keep pausing even though I am not touching the remote. Affects the movie as well as netflix and other blu rays

Movies pausing from Netflix often happens and can be due to caching or a poor connection. It can be terribly frustrating when it happens. Another consideration is whether many devices are using the same connection in the home at the same time (phones, tablets, computers, etc.) or having the player very far from the router (assuming you are using the wi fi rather than ethernet). However, sometimes I have found it necessary to close and reopen Netflix. My concern, though, is that you mention pausing during blu-ray playback. I don't believe this should be happening and might be a hardware problem with the player. The only other consideration I could think of might be a needed firmware update. Still, if this has been a problem since you got the unit, then I would consider returning it for a replacement. I hope I have understood your question correctly. With my unit, the only time I have experienced pausing during playback has been when streaming an on-line movie and even then it does not happen very often. Perhaps other reviewers have a better answer to your question.

Probably Downloading Portions of the Movie. Watch the Place Marker in Regard to the Shaded Part of the Bar, (maybe Shaded Gray). Does the Movie stop right when the Place Marker catches the Portion Downloaded. If so, one Remedy is just to Pause the Movie to start with until the Entire movie is Downloaded, (go wash dishes or something while waiting). Then Click on the Play Arrow.

For clarification, are you saying it's happening with both streaming (ie. Netflix) as well as Blu-Ray discs? If it's just streaming, the other reponses are correct. If it's also happening with discs, you have a hardware issue or possibly a firmware issue. check with Samsung; I find their Support very accommodating even if the item is out of warranty. Good luck.

I've tried 3 different discs from Netflix and all with the same result - nothing! A new update disc from Sony arrived today so I'll see if that helps.

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd's I would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it again if all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.

The remote won't play the blu-ray disc. All the other remote features work. But the play will not.

You can only pause via the menu. The remote doesn't have a pause button either.

you may need to see if panasonic has a firmware update for the bluray player. sometimes that happens with newer bluray movies. check the panasonic website

I have a problem with this Blu-Ray player, too... but my problem is different. The system sound is fine, and it plays regular DVDs just fine... but if we try to play a Blu-Ray, the play keeps getting interrupted and/or randomly skipping forward or backward by itself. We even took the batteries out of our remote control thinking maybe that was the problem, but the system still randomly stopped/skipped around in playing the Blu-Ray. Any ideas?

Never had that problem.. I did not update firmware due to me wanting to not have the crappy cineV junk on it. Are you sure the firmware update is not the reason? How was it playing before that update? If it was playing ok before then I would try to download the firmware again if you are able to.

No, Samsung smart blu-ray players freeze all the time. They don't work at all! I've sent mine in for repair and it's still not fixed.

The remote works fine, but there is an inherent hesitation for everything you do. It works great on Blu-ray, but I noticed that when I am using Netflix, sometimes the machine just hangs-up and stops working altogether, and I have to basically "reboot" it by turning it off and then back on. It has it's hicups, but for the money I guess it isn't too bad a machine. It is just a little aggravating sometimes. But if you buy one and have trouble with it, I discovered a trick to get it to update correctly. This takes care of most of the problems these machines have (I have 3 of them). If you buy one send me another message through Amazon and I will help you with it if you want. The remote works fine, but there is an inherent hesitation for everything you do.

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.

I have never used the pause on the Aquos remote. I have only ever used the DirectTV remote to pause a DVD. Sorry!

I've also had issues with this unit in regards to standard DVD problems, e.g., choppy, freezes, disc errors. I've also noticed lack of audio sync occasionally with both streaming and on Blu-ray discs...yeah, go figure. It's really annoying because we've had to keep our old dvd player around to watch older materials. To anyone deciding, it might be worth just getting a cheaper Blu-ray player and buying a Netflix box separately (around $100).

I contacted Sony support and this is what they said:"I'm sorry that the resume playback feature of the Blu-ray Disc player does not work. Sometimes, the player may not resume playback depending on the disc or stop point."Not very helpful. Not sure yet if this happens on all BD disc but it happens on Casino Royal, which is Sony produced... Very lame IMO.

Movies as in bluray/dvd or internet movies such as netflix? If a dvd/bluray is skipping frame you either have a bad disk or player. Internet tv/movies sometimes skip frames due to the internet connection. Mine hasn't given a hiccup one with dvds or blurays. BUT I have had some issue when my internet was acting up while watching netflix/amazon/hulu.
