Question: Anyone have this player lock up, powered off, then it wont power back on ?, cannot get my Conjuring disc out.
Document: Wish i had not bought this. 1) It has poor ability to read smudged or SLIGHTLY scratched discs. When i switched to this player a number of my previously perfectly playable discs now generate a "Disk unreadable" message and this player wont play them. Put them back in the old player and they play fine. 2) It cannot play discs at a higher forward speed so you can move ahead to look for something.
As many have already said, this player will lock up a lot. It does it for me when attempting to access Netflix. It will say that's it's not able to connect, then you simply can't get back to the player's menu. You have to unplug. I've had pretty decent luck with Panasonic, but they skimped on something to get the price down, and whatever that was, it's was vital for normal operation.
Haven't found one yet that works actually.-Poor button design on the device:-Power button is next to the disc tray, yet the tray eject button is on the opposite side of the player.
It freezes constantly and you have to unplug it and plug it back in. It wont shut off. It wont play half the time. This thing is junk...spend a little more and get a better one!
If you keep hitting the Play button on the remote, it will get you to the Play Movie Page, but this is only an additional annoyance.And as one other reviewer mentioned, it will on occasion Lock-up to where you have to unplug the player to reboot it, and then it will respond.
have had this approximately 90 hours. Initially, there were DVD menu freezes, streaming freezes, then a notice popped up for a firmware update. After updating, it freezes more often than before, and has gotten to the point where even the power button on top of the machine won't work. In order to get back to the menu, you have to physically unplug it, then turn it on, at which point it will freeze when trying to access the network.
Freezes when playing the movie Brave. Exchanged the movie, but replacement freezes at same location.Latest firmware installed.Trouble is, when it freezes, you have to dig behind your cabinet to "unplug" the AC cord from the outlet. The cord does not remove from the back of the Panasonic player, so you have to get to the AC outlet. Pretty pathetic design.Also agree with another reviewer who said the "Top Menu" is not easily accessible.
I bought this to stream Netflix. I have 2 routers and this dvr will not connect to either. It has an annoying lock screen that makes you enter a 4 digit password or you cannot install it. However entering the password didn't work either you keep getting the lock screen. It has a netflix button on the remote and I subscribe to netflix streaming but it will not connect to netflix no matter what you do. Makes me wonder if this Piece of S*** was ever tested and ever works anywhere.
Only way to get it to respond is to unplug it and plug it back in. Also, when it does work it is very, very slow. Navigating the menu is horrendously slow. I've seen slow UIs on these things before, but this one takes the cake. Avoid this model at all costs!
I just bought this DVD player. Turned it on with the remote. Went through the setup. Turned it off during a firmware update because it was taking too long. Now, the machine will NOT turn on, with remote or the switch on the machine. I have unplugged it for a minute, still won't work. I am taking it back right now.
Answer: if you unplugged it and plugged it back on, and nothing positive happens.....throw it out! panasonic makes garbage dvd players. it is not the panasonic of the past. i keep 5 dvd players in the house, cause i am a movie buff., and in the past i've had all panasonic players. those days are over. i have one panasonic player left and that hiccups every eight minutes on recordable discs. on your problem, maybe you can contact panasonic.com or call them and they can send you, or you can download their software update. it didnt work for me, but it might work for you. if mechanically inclined, and not under warranty....you can take off the cover, unscrew the carriage cover and remove the disc. also sometimes, if the disc is not in the slot correctly., it could jam up, and shut itself  off. my dmp-bd871 played well for 4 months, and now it will not accept any disc. i will admit, that before it went kaput, it had the best picture of any other player i've had................irene
