I thought that maybe that I had a faulty disc so I cleaned it and it reloaded properly and then it played without any problems. The next day the same thing happened on another disc and this same thing continued to happen on most but not all discs that I tried to load. Then it got worse and now it just stops during the loading process and I can not get it to load and play properly on any BR disc that I try to play on the BD30. I tried shutting it off and restarting. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but nothing has helped. I called the service center this morning and reported the problem and they said to send it in for warranty service. Do you think it's just a coincidence that I started having these problems after I installed the new 2.2 F/W? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem without having to send it in for service? Thank you in advance for any advice.

Sorry to hear about the problems your having with your BD30. Sometimes a manufacture will issue a firmware out that does cause playback problems. I have experienced this with my Sammy, and I know that recently Sony had problems with their firmware for the (2.40 I believe) and they stopped issuing the firmware out. Sony issued another firmware almost immediately. Took Samsung awhile but they eventually issued a fix. Maybe waiting for the next firmware or calling Panasonic about the availability of another future firmware will alleviate your problem with you BD30. Did you happen to call Panny and ask if it is possible that a future firmware could fix your playback problem with your BD30???
