Doesn’t Detect Disc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This player was easy to setup and plays nicely aside from one thing. If you turn it off with a disc still in it, then turn it back on, it will say no disc detected. The only way to “remind” it there is a disc inside is to open and close the drawer (sometimes twice).

Posted .Hi Mara,
We appreciate you letting us know about the specific issue you've encountered with the BDPS1700U Blu-ray player where it fails to recognize a disc upon power-on after being turned off. While we are glad the setup was easy and playback is generally smooth, this is not the intended operating behavior. This symptom can sometimes be resolved by performing a factory reset or by ensuring the player's firmware is updated to the latest version, as software patches often address intermittent disc detection issues. If updating the firmware does not resolve the need to cycle the disc drawer, please reach out to our support team for more tailored troubleshooting steps https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
