Sony BDP-BX2 blu-ray disk player "SYS ERR" error message

Sometimes the latest update IS the problem, not the solution. If possible go back to an earlier version and retry the disks. Many of the answers here about power down and the like are all good and sometimes helpful things to do. They also point to the fact there isn't much a consumer can do to fix or repair malfunctioning DVD/Blu-Ray players and it always comes down to cost. Do you want to repair or replace. You've had your unit, you say, about 3 years? I think this is about end of life. Anyway, try the previous software version and if that works turn automatic update off.

you mus reinstall the driver. Download from your company.
2) uninstall and reinstall again this will be fix it.
3) otherwise you must test the connection inside.
4) clean the OPU, and call some tech prof.
God bless you

Here is a link to the owners manual. Go to page 53 specifically for "resetting" to factory standards. I hope this helps : )

Some (not all) DVD players have a manual open mechanism on them. It's a tiny hole under or near the DVD drawer where you can insert a stiff wire (straightened paper clip) straight in and push gently to force it open. Most PC CDROM drives have these; not sure about Blue Ray players.

hi,
may be of upgrading problem or all blue ray disc won't play in all players. if a blue ray plays on a blue ray player may will not work in another one and vise versa. not all the discs some one.
ok

I have Avatar Blu-ray movie and it plays on my BDP-BX2 11.4.006 version. Take it back and get it exchanged. Try new one. May have to go to another store since the same shipments (bulk) that are at your store are ALL the same. I have done this 4 times with 4 different movies and 2 of them worked. I'm getting the .008 update but, I'm starting to think the Blu-ray disc are the problem since I have one that is made in Mexico??? I don't think they are all being made correctly. Too Cheap!

The latest update version is .008. Yes, you most likely need to do this. I have done two update so far. Ver. .006 and .008. Both times this solved my disc problem. On one of my disc for the newest version, I put the disc in and it could not read it. I was really surprise and put in back in again and it played. I've come to the conclusion that many disc pressing are not very good and some of the Blu-ray players are more finicky about reading that bad pressing. Exchanging the disc for another sometimes works.

Hello,
This appears to be an ongoing problem with Sony, and Samsung. I have a Samsung doing the same thing. The problem is when you load it, it is not fitting correctly into either the tray and or when it goes into place, it is not able to read the disk, because it is't spinning. You can usually hear it when it gets going. As it continues to turn, it will not let lens read it. It could also be the lens. If it is spinning and trying to read it and doesn't, you can try getting a lens cleaning kit. ,
