I have been having an issue with Blu-ray Discs freezing and refusing to play beyond a certain point which really makes no sense. This started happening repeatedly with my previous Blu-ray player (a Sony, BDP-S7200), only Blu-rays, never DVDs, and always around 70min into the film. I also found...

Thanks all for your replies. I checked my player again and firmware wise it’s up to date (being 7yrs old prob not been one for years). I am thinking a new (obviously 4K) player, am thinking Sony UXB800M2, it is starting to look like pick one up while you can!

I have had several Blu-ray Discs fail recently for no apparent reason. Namely; Star Trek Into Darkness- Disc suddenly started freezing at approx 01:10:00 Starship Troopers: started freezing at similar elapsed time point. On reloading, the disc would simply freeze at any point. In both cases the...

Thanks all, very helpful

I currently play music CDs on my Sony BDP-S 7200 Blu-ray player, through a Denon AVR 2805 receiver and Mission 773e floor standing speakers. In an ideal world I would have a separate stereo set up for listening to music but alas that isn’t practical so I am wondering if I would hear the higher...

Thanks all for your advice. I think I need to get along to my local dealer (Rayleigh Hi Fi) and get my ears in front of some of this gear and take things from there.

Hello all, my av receiver (Denon AVR 2801) dates back to 2000 and I think it's time to upgrade. The rest of my system currently comprises Mission speakers (773e floor standing sides, 77c1 centre speaker, and 77ds rears currently no subwoofer), Sony BDP S760 blu ray player and Sony KDL EX503 TV...

Recently I have started having constant problems accessing the net (just getting on here to put this post on has been a struggle). Regularly and at random when trying to access websites I get a message saying either 'the server cannot be found' or 'the iPad is not connected to the Internet'...

I recorded several programmes on my box last night and when I come to play them it jumps straight to the end of the recording with the watch again/delete, etc options. The recordings list shows the correct duration for each of these recordings but I have tried viewing them several times and the...

Not entirely sure this is the right forum but it doesn't seem to sit right in the others. I've had the above for about a year and the display will regularly display 'UPDATE' to signify that the electronic programme guide is being updated, normally it seemed to be doing that early in the morning...

Latest on this is that last Tues Hi Spek called to say Sony had authorised a replacement set, though I won't get it till next week which is annoying since they could have done this last week when they first told the repair agent spares were unavailable. Question is, how can I have any faith in...

Thank you Oldboy for your post. I spoke to the manager of the store this morning (Hi Spek St Albans - their Brentwood store where I actually bought the TV has since closed). He asked for the repair agent's contact details and their job number for this repair and said their customer service...

Further to my earlier posts on this subject last week my local Sony authorised repairer collected my TV on Weds and has today confirmed that an 'inverter' has failed and that the only way to fix it is to replace the entire screen assembly. That this failure could have occurred in the first place...

Thanks for your replies. After I posted last night left the TV with the power off at the mains for a couple of hours. When I tried it later it worked. I cycled it on/off about 6 times and apart from the first time the tv worked each time. I tried it a couple of times 1st thing before coming to...

Further to previous post I note that the flashing standby light indicates that the tv is self-diagnosis mode - the light flashing 6 times between each 3 second pause. Anyone know what this signifies. Thanks
