I followed all the steps again - sticking the USB stick into the front socket - and it has only gone and bloody worked. Thanks all
I thought that would be a cool perk with the 5100 I bought until I found out the glasses I needed to make it work with my Epson 2030 projector cost over $100 IF I could get a pair. Ouch. 3D movies seem rather plentiful in grocery store and discount department store racks right now.
Sorry yumi I have only played sacd's through my Sony S4100 player as I only use it for ripping.. I will need to retrieve it from storage to check on its handling of DVD's. Which I will do over the next week or so and let you know the outcome.I have tested different devices Sony BDP-S4100, S5100 and S7200. Now I notice that when playing DVD's constantly the sound is interrupted for a few seconds. It gets worse and worse until the end of a DVD. I have loaded the latest update on all devices. Has anyone of you noticed the same problem and how can the problem be resolved?
I now have 4 players with the same problem. Caution, I have only found the problem with original DVD's. Unfortunately, I own only 1 Blu Ray Disc and I have found no problem with this. Hardly four players can get out at the same time. Also I have found no problem with the ripping of SACD. Everything is absolutely perfect. With a cable connection via the router I reach a maximum speed of almost 3 MB/s as well as with the S7200 vie WLAN.Sorry yumi I have only played sacd's through my Sony S4100 player.

Are you certain it isn't a problem with the AVR or processor that is doing the decoding for DVDs?I now have 4 players with the same problem.

The problem could be related to the latest update. Or is it possible that it is caused by incorrect settings in the menu?
Or is it a problem caused by the loaded script?
Yesterday I bought another S4100 in an auction and I will test DVD's on it before I load the script to rip. I hope now that the seller has not yet loaded the latest update.
Next I sent a request to Sony Europe on Saturday.
As soon as I know more, I will report back here. It would be nice if we could solve this problem together. I assume that I'm not alone, who is affected by this problem.
I also hope you understand me, as my English is not really good.
I don't know, but four devices have the same problem. Two devices were new and the sellers of the other two devices reportedly did not notice the problem. Unfortunately, I have the new update everywhere. I do not exclude an error in the latest update.Are you certain it isn't a problem with the AVR or processor that is doing the decoding for DVDs?
What you have to try is plugging the Sony player into something else and see if the problem continues. You can probably connect it directly to a television via HDMA. You might also want to try a different HDMI cable. Its odd that you are getting the same error with four different players. Its also odd that a firmware update would cause an intermittent problem like that.I do not know, but four devices have the same problem.

That's what I was thinking also! HDMI cables can be hinky (that's a technical term.).What you have to try is plugging the Sony player into something else and see if the problem continues.

I would like to bury my head in the sand. I did not think about the cable because I just bought it new. It is 15m long and connected to the PC it does not cause any problems.What you have to try is plugging the Sony player into something else and see if the problem continues.

You are welcome. We are glad to have you on the forum.I would like to bury my head in the sand. I did not think about the cable because I just bought it new. It is 15m long and connected to the PC it does not cause any problems.
Hello LuvMyQuad + J. PUPSTER, I do not know how I can thank you. You are right and you have made me very happy. Now I'm ashamed of the contributions in the forum. Would it not be better to delete my contribution completely??
You can not believe how happy I am !!!!!!You are welcome. We are glad to have you on the forum.
Don't bury your head. And don't delete your post. It may help someone else some day.
edit... did I read that right? 15 meters? that's like 50 feet!
We're thrilled you're here, and all the credit goes to LuvMyQuad (I just jumped on board.)I would like to bury my head in the sand. I did not think about the cable because I just bought it new. It is 15m long and connected to the PC it does not cause any problems.

Hi erebus, yes that seems too slow for sure, typically I believe I get a little over 3 mb/sec. on mine with a Windows 7 machine. I don’t use Macs so not sure about that, maybe someone with success with Macs can help out. Occasionally I’ll get a title that rips slow like that but it’s rare.Very happy to have completed my first SACD rip today! However, I'm getting speeds of only 0.20-0.30MB/second. Has anyone else experienced speeds that slow and been able to do something about it? I have a Sony BDP-S590 connected directly to an iMac with a crossover CAT6 cable. The two discs I ripped so far have taken about two hours each. I wonder if going through the router would increase the transfer rate. I'll be gathering cobwebs by the time I'm done at this rate!

I have some cables arriving today so the Sony and the Mac can both be hard-wired to the router through a switch. I'll give it a try and let you all know if the speed improves.Should you have an Internet router, try using it to bridge the Mac and the SACD player. I suspect this may be the issue here. I have done this with my 2014 Mac Mini and the speed is much better than what you're currently achieving.
