I lost the remote of my Sony BDP-BX1, and I cannot Play the movie

Will it play standard DVD discs, if yes there is a problem with the laser pickup assembly, blu-ray disc require greater precision and speed when playing these discs because of the higher resolution.

You need to update the firmware. go to www.sonystyle.com then to support, type in your model #' and look for downloads. Complete instructions are given to the user as to the installation process. If you have difficulty, Contact Sony Support directly and they will send you the firmware updates on disc at N/C. Hope this helps

You can probably use the front panel buttons (STOP PLAY OPEN/CLOSE etc) manually, the only thing you cannot do without the remote is access certain DVD menus, including subtitles/language/special features etc. You can always obtain and use a universal remote for basic menu functions later on if necessary.

To play a DVD movie without the remote, simply load your preferred disc, wait for the player to finish reading its contents, then to skip copyright warnings and/or the 'play movie' menu screen, press STOP, then PLAY, or simply press PLAY button where 'play movie' (or whatever function) is highlighted in the menu. These buttons should be on the front of the main unit. Doing this should encourage the player to detect the appropriate title (the movie) and play it (basic playback operation may not be possible with some DVD releases due to the numerous interactive menus and title pages, such as film trailers).

If basic manual operation is not completely possible with some DVD titles, consider a universal remote for your player if you have either lost your original, or the player was purchased/received without one. Such remotes are relatively inexpensive to purchase, and are available just about everywhere.

I'm sorry to inform you that the Blu-ray player requires the remote to playback the blu-ray movies. You can playback normal DVD video disc which has auto play option. In order to go though the Menu items before start playing a Blu-ray DVD. Hence Remote is must..
Thanks for understanding..

Get a firmware update from the SONY website...

Hi,
Required remote control is available HERE for $35
Hope this info will help you order required remote as its necessary to watch movies because remote has all kind of control buttons to playback.
Thanks.

After the movie loads and shows "play" highlighted. And only then,press the stop button and then press the play button and the movie should play...hope this helps.

As long as you have a play button on you dvd player you shouldn't have any issues playing the main movie, you may not be able to navigate to different menu options from with on the dvd it's self.

You may want to look into obtaining a universal remote you can pick on up at your local electronics store and are fairly cheap.
