Sylvania Bluray NB501SL9 audio stopped on bluray discs but not regular dvds

Bluray uses a different laser than dvd/cd playback. You will need to have the deck replaced. Hope it's still under warranty.

The DVDs use red light, and the blue rays use blue light, 2 systems. Have you tried a cleaning disc?

Bluray discs and DVD discs are encoded differently. Unfortunately you will need to get standard DVD and not bluray.

You have 2 options really...

1) You can purchase blank DVDs:

2) You can purchase a bluray drive:

put your mine..!!!!

the bluray laser consists of two laser diodes one is for bluray and one is for regular games and movies... you bluray diode is dead or dieing which is why nothing bluray will work and dvds will... ill bet if you put a ps1 game in it would work too. sony will fix it for $150 or you can find plenty of craigs list fix it guys that can do it cheaper...but be careful of who does it.

you most likely have a Ps3 Blueray Lens Burnout
If you are not in warranty then try this link

went ont and plunked down 14$ for a new universal remote. could not get the dish remote to do anything other than stop ,play,ff and rew. which just isnt good enough if you want to browse the blu-ray disk @ all !! so gud luk to all. and Merry Christmas !!!

the PS3 laser has two wavelegths at 405nm(bluelight) and 750nm (redlight). the highpower lower wavelength diode on your machine im afraid has failed. The bluray light reads bluray games and bluray dvd's. the lower power red light reads audio cds and regular dvds/dvdrs. you need to install a new laser ..only 100 i charge or 160 from sony (150+TAX+2 week wait+frustration from not playing COD4..lol)
Now if you have the newer model laser KES410ACA, then you have 2 SEPARATE light sources...these tend not to fail as often. it costs the same to fix

Make sure that all your DVDs are nice and clean. Also, have you tried and BluRay discs? Your laser may be on thedeath. Thanks!

Yes there is. You can buy an HD Disc player. There is two types out there, HD and Bluray. I would recommend Bluray because it seems like HD DVDs are falling off. So buy a Bluray player and Bluray discs instead of traditional DVDs, traditional DVDs will not put out in HD. Also, if you have cable, get an HD receiver and you can pick up the special HD channels. Good luck. If you need anymore help, let me know.
