I can't get the player to play 3D blurays even after updating the firmware. TV plays 3D from Comcast and is set to autodetect 3D signals.Help?

I have successfully played 3D Blu-ray with Sony NSZ-GT1, but I have to manually set the 3D type on the TV. You might want to try manually setting 3D type on the TV settings. Also you can find a lot of free support from regular owners of Google TV at GoogleTVForum.org

I'm having the same problem with downloading the firmware and I tried several times following the video step by step, but still no luck...any suggestions?

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I had the same problem but solution was to by a new 3d blue ray Player (Panasonic) with 2 hdmi OUT. assign 1 for TV out the other for audio out only (this connects to your 876) and you're ready to watch 3d with full audio advantage. no need to upgrade AV-receiver since the 876 sounds amazing.

I believe there has only been 1 firmware update, which is can be found here: http://www.funai-corp.com/support/Firmwares.aspx You have to burn it to a CD & then load it to the blu-ray player from the CD.

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.

Im not happy at all with the sony bdp-s570 and my Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX720 32-Inch 1080p 3D LED HDTV; TRON 3d won't play despite the most recent M04firmware update for the bdp player and a highspeed 2.0 hdmi cable....i followed all the instructions here on amazaon and elsewhere. yup, i can see Sony 3dexperience content in 3d. The glasses are the Sony TDG-BR250/B rechargeables. I don't get it - why will the TRON 3d Blu-ray refuse to play, after displaying thedisney castle? ? ? Im not the 1st with this problem of course. And no, i don't have a receiver in between the blu-ray and tv that needs firmware updating.

I've been told it does not work with 3D. I'm presuming the reason Sony is dropping the price now is that a new version is coming out that fixes the gracenote problems (hard to deal with discs that are not on gracenote) AND the next version will be 3D capable. This is strictly a guess, but every other Sony Bluray player is now 3D capable except this one. And since all the 3D movies aren't coming out unitl later this fall...I should just go and put in a 3D movie and see though. Sony's support on this player does seem to be a bit weak.

I understand from reading the comments on other Samsung products that it is advisableto update the firmware over the Internet, I just ordered a Samsung 3D Plasma and the Pioneer 1020; based on your comment I will hold off on this Blue Ray player! It sounds like HDMI has some issues...

I really don't know what is happening with your T.V., but sometimes it depends on what you use to play 3D, for instance, my playstation 3 does not play in 3D, but my blu ray 3d player does, and my pc does with the latest software of Interwin blu ray 3d player.

It definitely is some sort of bug in the TV's processing of the 3d signal. Especially if it is randomly not displaying the correct 3d. I would try what everyone said below. Make sure your firmware is the latest on the tv and ps3. If it still gives you issues then you have to make the call. I would say if it bugs you, send it back. If not it is probably just a convenience issue as long as it works when you restart 3D. I would probably not return it due to the hassle and time. But, really up to you.

I have this same issue with an earlier model (BDP-S350). For me the problem began when my blu-ray player automatically updated its firmware last spring. Even blu-ray disks that played fine earlier stopped playing, although many of the new disks that I've tried work fine. Sony appears to be oblivious to this issue not providing any meaningful customer support. There are several possible solutions posted on the SONY website and on various discussion forums for other models (e.g, turn off the Internet access, clear the USB jump drive memory, unplug the unit from the AC power for a minute or two). None of them worked in my case. I finally gave up and bought a new Panasonic player; out of principle I persisted in trying to 'fix' my Sony blu-ray player for quite a while and eventually decided to pay a few buck to buy my way out of the aggravation). Bye, bye Sony products, hello Panasonic (They also burned me years ago for discontinuing support [e.g., driver updates] for one of their expensive Vaio computers.).

Hey all - hate to break this to ya, but I just tried it out on my 3d setup, and this receiver doesn't seem to pass through at all - I've tried it with DirecTV 3d channels, and with my PS3, and if I connect directly to the TV HDMI, it works just fine, but going through the receiver, as soon as I try and view 3d content, there is no dice. Kind of annoyed here, since I bought this receiver about 1.5 years ago, and it looks like now I'll either have to go through the painful process of hooking up 3d devices directly to the TV, or buy a new 3d capable receiver - poop! :( Well - good luck - hope you folks have better luck than I did :(

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

Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.
