Three hours from the installation of new software, and three times you need to disconnect the equipment from the power supply!! Embarrassing, I will never buy Philips. Has anyone tested the new software/firmware?!?!?!?

[Pacman]

What happens exactly then , does it get blocked? When does it happen, playing back movies?

[tymek]

The first case: an attempt to enter the smart TV. The result: it does not work any button on the remote control and bluray!!

The second case: play avi file. The result: from a certain moment it does not work any button on the remote control and bluray!!
etc etc
In all forums write about it. In this forum, too. The software (bdp7700 – all version) is unstable, slow and poorly tested.

BDP7700 freezes at different times. Cannot extract a single schema. Sometimes it is when watching a movie (avi, mkf, wmv etc.), sometimes in a net-tv, and sometimes just turn on blu-ray. The buttons on the remote control and on the blu-ray totally stop responding.

A moment ago:
1. Smart TV watching
2. out of Smart TV
3. switch off blu-ray
4. blu-ray freezes at the string "standby"
5. not respond to the remote control (10 minutes)
6. need to turn off the power.

etc. etc.
