The second player, sadly, exhibits the same problem! Which leads me to suspect that I'm doing something wrong or that there are technical difficulties beyond my abilities. The network also works with the my older Dell desktop. So connection to the network and Internet is not a problem using the router. I've checked Cisco Linksys forum which has posts of comparable problems with other brand Bluray players but I can't find one exactly like the one I'm experiencing.
Linksys provides excellent online means of configuring its routers. One of these is to try the Sony WPS pin number and register it for use by the router. This, too, fails. I'm left with three areas of quandry: 1. Are there unresolved technical problems with this particular Sony product and that by the Linksys router?
Is there an access point problem with the Sony Bluray? Is it worthwhile to check with the ISP provider to see if I've got a connection problem of some kind? Thanks after two solid days of hashing through this quagmire. I simply reset my wireless router and my BDP-S started working just as it should, so if you are having connection problems then reset you wireless router and start from square one.
To be sure, I read a lot of comments that went along the lines of no problem, easy set up. I'm in the latter camp. I suspect a lot of the problems are either a weak signal from the router, the router settings themselves, interference from another electrically operated item or physical object such as walls or furniture, or just plain lack of knowledge about how what the numerous router settings do.
Is your Wireless Mac Filter enabled? If so, get the disc player's wireless mac address and add it to the filter. Is your SSID broadcast enabled or disabled? Mine is disabled and I didn't have to enable it to connect the player.
Funny thing is I had to do it when first connecting one of my laptops. Go figure. Are you aware that your wireless network name could be case sensitive. It is on my router which explains why the first attempt didn't work.
Second try with correct case worked. Within seconds I could see the Blu Ray Player on my network. The non-backlit remote control has bright white labels that are easy to read and the layout is sensible. As I have mentioned before, my favorite features on this remote are the Replay and Advance keys. Punch Replay once and the disk skips back 10 seconds, press it twice quickly and it jumps back 20 seconds and so on.
Advance goes forward in 15 second increments. This capability might seem more vital when watching content with commercials, but I still like it on my DVD player.
If you need to put your scanning pedal to the metal, the remote has the more common Fast Forward and Fast Reverse buttons. Also, if you are like me, the first time you encounter Sony's menu system that they call XMB XrossMediaBar , you might become a little dizzy. It has become second nature to me now and I find that its up, down and across layout makes navigating the player's multiple features much easier.
You can find it here. We decided to take our own measurements at different stages. Pro, and took a reading during playback of a Blu-ray movie and another in standby mode. During playback of a Blu-ray DVD, the meter ranged between If I stopped playing but still had the disc in, the XMB menu pops up and the meter hovers around Interestingly, when I stream a video from the Internet, the reading rises to around Since a DVD is not spinning, I would have guessed that the player would use less power.
It also uses more power. With Quick Start mode enabled, when I turned the power off, the meter drops to around 7. If I go into the Systems Settings menu and turn Quick Start off and then turn the player off, the meter drops to 0 and stays there. If you think about it, you may use your DVD player maybe three or four times a week. For the other hours in the week, you don't want it to be hoovering up electricity.
But with Quick Start off, it only took 30 seconds. My conclusion is to turn Quick Start off. For me the 12 seconds gained with Quick Start is not worth the constant power drain. You answer a few questions, pop in a Blu-ray disc and let your eyes revel. When you are ready to tackle networking your player, Sony's manual does a good job of explaining the process of connecting either wired or wirelessly.
The wireless solution always seems to be trickier, but I found the Network Settings procedure straightforward. If you don't have at least a passing knowledge of network terminology, I don't want to give you false confidence. But if you set up your home network, then you should be able to manage adding the BDP-S onto the grid.
