Official Panasonic DMP-BDT110/210/310 Owners Thread - Page 9

No Netflix issues with my player so far.

Go into your JVC menu and make sure 3D is set to auto and not T/B. It's under input signal and go down to HDMI.

It was already on auto (default) when I first tried it. I also selected T/B and still nothing.

Is 3D set to Full 3D in the Panasonic setup menu?

S~

It was set to Full HD.

That's all I can think of. I have the Panasonic set to Full3D, JVC set to auto. Haven't had any problems.

S~

Ok, thanks for your help. I have to go to work now so I will try it again when I get home tonight. I may try hooking the Panasonic straight to projector to test since it is going through a AVR.

Which AVR?

Onkyo HT-S3300 5.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?cl...ems&m=HT-S3300

Check the 3300 thread and see if anyone else is having problems. I've used the Pioneer 1020, Marantz SR6005, and MArantz AV7005 without problems. Try resetting the player, also. SOmetimes works.

There are a few things in the manual it doesn't explain well. Aside from the above, also wondering about the HDMI Connection settings.

HDMI Connection -> HDMI Color Mode (there are 4 options):

YCbCr (4:4:4)
YCbCr (4:2:2)
RGB (Standard)
RGB (Enhanced)

It doesn't tell you anything about these settings either.

4:2:2 (10 bit) is the closest to source direct for Blu, 4:4:4 (12bit) offers some color interpolation and has good results on some sets. Ive not used RGB for anything.

Clearly there is a problem in the implementation of Netflix in these machines.

I have been streaming Netflix for six months on the same network with a LG BD570 wirelessly and have never see a single glitch or drop out.

I have Amazon Prime so I was interested in the free access to their streaming via this player as well. I have also had numerous freezes with that service.

I am using wireless but I have a maxed out wireless "N" signal on the Panny and a 20+ mbps connection.

The streaming was my primary purpose for getting this player as my main
Blu-ray player is a Sony ES machine.

I will give it a little more time but if the dropouts and general poor performance of Netflix continues both of my 210's will be going back.

Oh, will check it out. Didn't know there was a 3300 thread.

I have a wired connection and nothing on top of my player. Still experience blackouts. Its definitely a player issue. My Panny BD-65 in the same setup never had these issues.

The 110/210/310 do not use the same interface as the 65, or most other players. NF provides and has control over the stream and interface. I've seen the quick black flash on other players, also. I've watched a lot of movies and only had it happen once on this player.

S~

OK now I have the blackouts too. I got about half way through the movie before it started. Kinda stinks.

I've contacted both NF and Panasonic and referred them here. Panasonic said they'd look into it. NF isn't quite as responsive.

S~

Cool, thanks.

Netflix sends out the same signal to all players. How that signal is processed is the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Since the same signal from Netflix worked flawlessly on my LG I would say the problem lies with Panasonic.

Changing the interface from one that simply offers more search options etc. should have nada to do with how the player actually process the streaming data.

I tend to agree with you because Netflix on my PS3 works fine, but not my 210.

Anyone have trouble getting HD streaming from Amazon VOD. My BD85 would never get higher than full bars SD, and the BDT110 seems to do no better. I can, on the otherhand, get Vudu HDX and Amazon HD on a Roku.

Makes no sense...

It freezes up on my 210. I have nothing to compare to on that service since it was really the main reason I got the 210 and sold my LG 570.

It works fine for me, just can't figure out why Panny has issues getting HD on Amazon. There was a workaround posted on Big Picture Big Sound for the 2010's, but it never worked for my 85. Im on 6mbps DSL and it does not matter if it's wired or wireless. No reason I can get Vudu HDX and not Amazon HD.

It's not quite as simple as that. Manufacturers submit their equipment to the providers for certification. If it meets their standards and works with their interface, they will certify it. One reason older players might not receive the newer interface. Manufacturers might not want to go through the process. The new interface also offers 1080p and DD+5.1 if available, not just the search function. As I've said, I've seen the same symptoms on other brands, even on the older interface. I'd rather find out where the problem is, whether it's NF or Panasonic, rather than put the blame on anyone.

I also have Netflix problem. Netflix said it was the firewall so I called ATT and they removed the firewall for the 210. Still, the same problem. Called the Panasonic and they are blaming Netflix. I am getting tired of this runaround. Netflix also said these blue ray players were released lot earlier than suppose to be and they have not tested Netflix with these devices. Everytime I call, I get a different answer. Frustating!

it seems that the new 210 model is having some problems.. you have to remember that blu ray in general.. has some problems or what not. its nature of the beast. having said that.. this 210 model is miles ahead of the 80, 85 models.

No problem here. I just watched "City of Angels" this morning. Full bars HD. Watched "Dirty Harry" when I first picked up the player and a few movies since. PQ is not nearly as good as NF.

S~

Everything you just said leads right back to Panasonic and their lack of testing the equipment before shipping.

Again, Netflix sends out a signal they don't process the signal.

I can't speak to "other brands" other than the LG BD570 on which Netflix played without a single drop out or "black out", ever.

Calling NF on that one as the player has to be certified before it is provided for release. PS3 went through the same process before it was released publicly.
