I have a Panasonic Viera TC-L42E50 HDTV and a Sony BDP-S185 blu-ray player, both of which I have owned for about one year.  They are connected via HDMI cable.  Beginning a few months ago the blu-ray player would no longer power on unless I unplugged the power and plugged back in.  And...

 Hi folks,   Can anyone help? I finished watching a film on the HD through the USB port of the player, finished, turned them both off and went to bed, I should say here that I did this nearly everyday for the previous 18 months with no issue. The day after I turned on my player and there were...

I'm in a bit of a pickle here..... I have an LG soundbar (having problems finding the model) that has my Xbox and Tivo connected to it. Shortly, I'll be switching to recording TV on my PC and using my Xbox as an extender. This will free up a connection on my soundbar. This is my problem...

I don't have the Sony model designated for this section (mine is a BDP-S185) but I didn't see a section for that. Since my question is not technically specific to this model, I hope you don't mind me throwing it out here. As mentioned I have a Sony BDP-S185 Blu-Ray player. It is hooked up per...

Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help me with a technical issue I currently have please? I recently acquired a Sony BDP-S185 and hooked it up to my TV using HDMI. The picture quality is superb, however I can only seem to receive music audio and no voice/effects audio. I have tried every...

Folks: I got a Sony BDP-S185 on a good deal and thought I'd make it wifi ready in the future. Well the future is now and I'd like to know what my option are. It has an either net port/connector on the back but also USB connectors on the back and front. Here is my question. Can just any old...

Anyone know of a decent Blue Ray mini player with an HDMI output that will fit in a 13" wide x 3.25" high x 11" deep hole? It will be for my RV, feeding a LCD tv, directly above (now a 26" model, but later planning to upgrade to a 40-42" model). Thanks John

I bought a Sony BDP-S185/BX18 and discovered subtitles stop working at double speed. Every DVD player I've owned allowed speedwatching, very helpful for assigned viewing but also for meandering directors like Paul Thomas Anderson and Frank Darabont. Some players, I'm told, even keep subtitles...

 I wonder why no one has started a thread dedicated to this player yet. It can be found for $80 at brick and mortar stores or even for less online. It plays BDs, DVDs with AVCHD content, plays 1080p60 from newer consumer camcorders, streams from Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and other services, plays...

I'm looking for a DVD player (doesn't necessarily have to be BluRay) that, like this model is smaller than the standard size (the 185 is about 12" across) and has a USB port in the front. Are there any other models out there that anyone knows of that are similar to this?
