Does the MacBook play Blue Ray DVDs? or High Def DVDs?

Sony Blu Ray DVD player won't play blu-ray dvds-- Shuts off and restarts itself when I select "play"?

  • Model # BDP S300. When I put in the disc, the numbers 21.0.0:00:00:00 come up on the DVD counter and it takes about 5 mins for the disc to load. Finally the select screen comes up. I select "play" and it acts like it's going to work -- I get the "This film was formatted...." notice and all, but then the dvd player suddenly crashes (shuts itself off, turns back on, and repeats the whole process). This only happens with blu ray dvds. I can play regular discs just fine. In fact, I have had this machine for many years and I'm not sure I've ever tried to play a blu ray disc until yesterday. I do not have the machine connected to the internet and hope I don't have to do so just to play the type of discs that the player is supposed to play. I am much too stupid to figure out how to do that. Thank you for any suggestions! :-)

  • Answer:

    Blu Ray players have to be updated periodically so they can play blu ray discs. So you will have to connect it to the internet and check in your owner's manual for the instructions on how to do an upgrade. Once thats done you should be able to watch blu rays.

Check if the model you have need to be updated for firmware. I have never like the Sony product, they don't last long and more expensive than other brands. I had 2 Sony DVD players purchased when they first came out for the price of over $1,100 model 7000 and 7700 and both did not last more than 3 years. Also the first Sony HDTV 34" CRT in the market for $6,400 and that too only lasted less than 3 years. My first generation blu ray disc player from Panasonic model BD-10 which is 4 years old now and played over 300 blu ray disc movies never had one problem at all. Every year they have a player that is recommended by home theater magazine. The customer service support for Sony is also terrible. Hope this will help you out.
