Unit plays DVD but no longer Blu Rays

You need to update your software. go to network update but you have to do it via your network it worked for me. Hope this helps

This Blu-ray player will not read HD (high density) DVDs. The format is not the same as a blu-ray. You would need an HD DVD player. (if you can find one - they are rare.) If you are having trouble reading specific Blu-ray discs, you should check if there is a firmware update for the unit on the Insignia site. Start at http://insigniaproducts.com/ and look for downloads for the NS-WBRDVD2.

The NS-WBRDVD2 reads Blu-rays, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, CD-R, CDDA (audio CDs), CD-RW, MP3, MPEG4, JPEG. Discs burned on DVD recorders/computers must be finalized to be played on the unit.


The manual for the unit is available from Insignia here: http://insigniaproducts.com/cms/documents/NS-WBRDVD2-WBRDVD2-CA_10-0745_WEB_ENG_V4_Final%20lr.pdf .

I hope this helps.

From this problem's description I have to assume that either the blu ray player will not play blu rays or the blu ray player will play blu rays but only in 1080i/720p or that you want to know if this blu ray player supports the 1080p resolution.

If the blu ray player is not playing blu rays then you update the firmware and try multiple purchased discs to make sure nothing is wrong with the ones you have been trying. If blu rays that played once will no longer play, then you will need to reset the blu ray player from its menu and possibly by holding down the power button on the front of the unit until the word reset displays on the unit before trying to play the disc again.

If the television is not showing 1080p make sure you are connected with an hdmi cable and that it is the right version hdmi cable for this blu ray player and for your television. Make sure you have chosen 1080p as the resolution to display in the blu ray player's menu. If all of that has been done and 1080p will still not display then it is a case of incompatibility between manufacturers--Sharp and whatever the television is. It would display in 1080p on a Sharp television and most likely on a Samsung and Sony as well. With other brands and even some models of the aforementioned brands (except for Sharp) its a toss up.

latest 2,3 on my bluray,,bdp 1400, samsung,, still showing menus at chapters on several discs,,inc avatar..this will stop me buying new discs, till they sort out upgrades,,may be a 6 months wait,, but worthit to avoid this ****,hassle and hair loss.

Are you playing original blu ray disc? Is your player capable of reading multi-format. Read your manual for troubleshooting. If that won't help. Try to play original blu ray or the ones that you have played in before. It that plays that means you have defective blu ray or unreadable format. Hope this help.

ALOT OF THE NEWER DVD PLAYERS YOU CAN GO ON THE MANUFACTURES WEBSITE AND DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE UPDATE WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY FIX YOUR PROBLEM. ATTACHED IS THE SITE YOU WILL NEED.

If the drive doesn't read any disc's you need to reinstall the drivers and verify you have the latest version. If the drive is ONLY having trouble with Blu-ray then i'm assuming it's the player that you're using; it may not have the right Codac's etc. Also, try multiple Blu-ray movies to verify it isn't just the one movie.

If its not a Blu-Ray disc, it wont have new technology that the Blu-Ray does not have installed so its unlikely a firmware update wil fix this as its generally for new Blu-Rays.

Does the disc playback in another player?

Is it the correct region code?

Do all other DVD-Video play ok?

upgrade the firmware to 2.3 version. download it at samsung support.
