barnsweeper,

The way I'm reading this, you're having trouble playing many Blu-Ray discs, correct?

If that is the case, your unit may require service. 24 insertions is by no means considered "normal operation".

Keep me posted!

i recieved the firmware update disc this morning after succesfully installing i tried to load the bluray disc Felon which took six insertions before it would load, so it looks like i will have to get my unit serviced, Will keep you posted.

Hi, after updating my machine and it still not playing new titles, i was advised to try clearing the cache on the unit, I switched the unit on with no disc in and pressed the forward skip key until the screen flashed off and back on asking for language selection, i then placed a disc which previously would not play into the unit and low and behold it loaded immediately as did all my other discs,
