Mine is region free (BD)right out of the box, some say later manufactured dates are not. Mine was dec 2006 build date. Cinemads was region free right out the Box as well, not sure of his build date.

I don't own a BH200 and don't know how they've worked with Hdi...

but using a bit of lateral thinking...

If the firmware updates from LG have been improving how the BH200 has been handling some of the new HD DVDs then would it be too much of a stretch to think that the same updates could work on the early model BH100's with the two broadcom IC's to fix any potential Hdi problems?

Wouldn't work because you can't flash a BH100 with BH200 firmware.

Is there any chance to get a playable homemade Mini HD DVD (at DVD-R/+R) on the LG BH100?

Hi All,

I've had my BH100 for over 6 months now and I've just had my first issue playing a disk. The Disk was Speed Racer that I ordered from Amazon a week ago. The Disk seems to read ok. It play's the WB logo, then I get menu loading symbol (the little coloured bars that co back and forth) and then a symbol of a Disk spinning then blank screen. All the buttons seem to function but I can't get off the blank screen.

Anyone else having issues with this disk or do I just have a bad copy.

Thanks
CamDS

Funny--Speed Racer was my first Blu-Ray try on the BH100. The EXACT same thing happened to me. It looks like there are a lot of problems with this disc and the BH200.

I have done nothing with the firmware and I've only watched HD-DVD's thus far. I promised I wouldn't use it as a Blu player until I watched all of the bargain HD-DVD's I've purchased. I got it off U Bid for $100 a couple of months ago so I was worried it was a blu brick. Its consolation to see someone else is having the same problem--hope the same goes for you...

I haven't bothered upgrading because I've not had a problem with a disk before (including those that have required firmware updates previously)

I've been reluctant to run a firmware update on my unit as it's been region free since I bought it (and I've got quite a few titles from other regions), but looks like I might not have a choice

I don't think that a firmware update will change region coding.

So has anyone with the most up to date firmware tried to play Speed Racer? My dad has this player so if it doesn't work I want to give him the heads up so he doesn't rent it. He still rents from Blockbuster and pays per rental.

I watched it on a PS3 instead before sending it back. I guess I'll never know...

You might want to recommend your pops to skip it anyways... eye candy for sure (the first half more so) but I can see why it bombed

Hi folks,

it's a while I'm around, but I post first time now.

I have been using my bh100 since Feb, paid a fair 350 Euro then, and always connected to my A/V receiver onkyo tx sr606 via coax RCA for DD audio, then I have recently decided to exploit the HD audio decoding and connected the analog audio, selecting a trueHD track from a BD. According to the manual the bh100 should be able to decode the lossless audio format and output it to the receiver in analog 5.1, BUT...the center channel was clearly missing, i.e. no dialogues except from the two front speakers, and from them only as a "reflection" of the missing centre channel...

anyone with the same problem? solutions?

I have to say that I've upgraded to the last version of the firmware already some time ago.

thanks for any suggestion

cheers

That sounds like a defective disc to me. Usually if a disc will play past the menu it's not a compatibility issue.

The US version of Indy played fine on my Bh100 awhile back.

But now I have bought all the James Bond flicks and all 5 of the movies play, 1 will not called For Your Eyes Only. I thought I might of had a defective disc so I took one set back to best buy and they gave me a new one... For Your Eyes Only still didn't play. Appears the Bh200 had same problem. I have the latest firmware for the bh100(6-24-08) and all the other bond films played except that one. I don't understand why just that one.

For Your Eyes Only
In both instances, the disc takes a while (somewhat longer than usual) to be recognized, then loads the red FBI warning screen and the next Fox disclaimer about commentaries, etc. The player then goes to black. It doesn't crash, and the disc can be ejected, but the menu never appears, even though the player says MENU on the front display.

For your eyes only is not showing that little grey progress circle before the menu should come on. All the others have that grey progress circle going.

Can you test your not working disc with an other player in any shop in your surrounding?Did you ask the LG service if there is any know issue/case problem about this disc?

If you have an issue with playback, I found this number to report disc issues that should help:

HI

I'm a new member,from Italy.

I've a problem with the LG bh100 player and the "indiana jones and the kingdom of crystall skull" blu ray. I have the latest firmware (080624)

The player run the disc ,play the Paramount logo,but freeze at the language selection. Pushing the "ok" button on the remote (for select language) nothing happens,and a red symbol come out on the right top.

The bonus blu ray disc play perfect,and i've no problem to select the language.

Another bh100 owner has the same problem with the "iron man" blu ray,that is Paramount too.So i think that there is a problem with all Paramount blu ray and this player.I contacted Lg,but without result.
Anyone here can play indy 4 blu ray on this player?
I must wait a new firmware?
Any one have a suggestion?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my baaaaad English!!

Can you start the movie first and then change the language audio track to get around the menu problem?

Okay, I got the Firefly BD today. Discs 1 and 2 load and play just fine. But disc 3 loads to a black screen, and then that's it. No menu... nothing. Anyone else that has Firefly, does disc 3 play on your player?

No i can't,because in the language selection screen,any button of remote (like "play","menu","title") does not work,and (when i push one of them), in the top right appears a red symbol .Only "display" ,"numbers" ,"stop" ,"eject" and "arrows" button works in this screen.

It's strange that this same screen is also in the bonus disc,but there is no problem,and i can easly choose the language and go to menu.
