This problem is nonexistent in the Panasonic DMP-BD55K.

What drags this down a star is its problems and little "quirks".The load speed.

I was refused all help!Sony claimed that my player was out of warranty; therefore it had no responsibility to fix it!Now, Sony's firmware update instructions say NOTHING AT ALL, NO WARNING, about ensuring that the player is still under warranty before attempting to install the firmware update, in case a problem might occur!

I've done the whole disc doctor thing on this disc more than once, but it didn't correct the problem.

We are delighted with this product, (Sona BDP S550 1080 p).
