No Blu-ray Resume Play -- Oy Vey! Huh?
1815868
Hi there, this is a problem with ALL Bluray players, it is an annoying format problem, (It's the disc), where "resume play "is not available on JAVA enabled Blurays, (BD-J). JAVA content is usually the interactive menus and extra features on specific Blurays. These are essentially computer programs, so when you close them and re-open them they open from the beginning, (Just like on your computer, when you close a program). All standard DVD's and non BD-J discs will resume play as expected, this is why some people think there is an intermittent fault, and others say that there model of player is working fine. Hope this helps. Here is an link to SonyAsia's FAQ's on "resume play". http://www.sony-asia.com/subtype/usefulinfo/asset/306258/productcategory/hv+bluray+disc+player

This my original review I reported on 12-7-2013... Just got off the phone with Vizio Support after I connected my New Vizio VBR135 3D Smart Blu-ray Player with Wireless Internet Application to my New Vizio 60" HDTV and my New Vizio Sound Bar and the sound works fine with the Player but there is no picture and GUESS what? Vizio does not produce any more DVD/Blu Ray players anymore and hasn't produced them for over a year now and if you buy one now the firmware is not compatible with the new Blu Ray or 3D formats, GO FIGURE. So I asked them why are there players out there on the market? They said that sellers are trying to off load them for quick cash and WE the purchasers will have to deal with the return/refund headaches if you can even get a refund. So I'm going to say this again "BUYERS BEWARE, DO NOT BUY A VIZIO DVD/BLU RAY/3D Player", Vizio does not produce them anymore. You have been warned. If you purchased on recently, also know that they do not have the recent firmware to play the new disc anyway... Don't waste your money...

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.

Yes it can resume and like R. Marshall said it does depend on the movie(way blu ray was encoded). For the most part though it will resume. I believe this is also the case with all blu ray players now.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

There is also an area where you can manually set black levels which may help. Your problem seems a little different than mine. I have the TV, Pioneer Receiver, and PS3 as the Blu-Ray player. I haven't had a problem since I switched it to standard mode.

That sounds like a problem with your individual unit. My wife got me the Blu-ray edition of Planet Earth for Valentines Day and I've been watching them constantly.....no problems detected...not even the slightest hiccup. Have you loaded the latest firmware patch from Sharp? I loaded it the day I bought my player (a couple months ago). Good luck with getting this working!!

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

I haven't had to use that function yet, but most blu rays do have that function. When you turn the player back on it should ask you to resume or not. Hope this helps you.

To be fair, Windows does not support Blu-Ray either, due to "legal reason", and requires users to get third party software, which is the exact same scenario with OS X.

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

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.

I'm not aware of any Blu-ray player on the market that will resume play after opening the disc tray. Is your Sony player a Blu-ray player? Does it resume on Blu-ray discs? You only said it resumes on DVDs. If so, please share the model number with us.

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

Greetings Let me see if I understood, you said that the blu-ray drive freeze very often? so good if you change the unit of these can forward and rewind without any kind of freezing besides this movies are even better

It does play Blu-ray Disc (BD). I always discard bundled software because they are all bloat/ads-ware offering what I don't want & need. Download no-charge VLC Media Player, and it plays BD movies great!Windows Media Player also plays BD movies, but I much more prefer VLC Media Player.
