    Anyone having issues registering their player? Site keeps timing out for me at home and in work?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,473 ✭✭✭✭Our man in Havana


    I had the same problem. I just kept at it and it eventually worked.

    Me to on my home computer. Brought it into work and it was fine. Just forgot my serial number!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,285 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    ****e...maybe it's me inputing the wrong serial?
    I can get in now but on the last page, where it asks for name/password I keep getting "invalid response"
    I've tried loads of various usernames/passwords.

    Must be me and my fat fingers. :rolleyes:

    Give it time, I couldn't get mine to register one day so left it and it worked first time around the next morning. Apparently there's problems with registering things with Sony going back months, there's lots of posts about it over on the thread for this player at AVForums.

    I just looking forward to getting The Dark Knight now, missed it first time around at the cinema !

    Do you mean Dolby True HD and DTS Master?


  • Registered Users Posts: 244 ✭✭sudo911


    There's no onboard HD DTS-Master decoding in this unit unfortunately (see review here).

    My receiver doesnt do any of the HD audio, so have to downmix for the moment....

    Anyone got the TruHD sound going? interested to know if there is much of a difference?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,980 ✭✭✭Soarer


    I've got my S350 bitstreaming all HD audio to my Onkyo 605 amp. There's a marked improvement in audio quality between the HD stuff and "normal" DD/DTS.

    Don't have the S350 decoding the audio, but I'd imagine it'd handle it superbly.

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,235 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    Any one still having problems? Trying it at home again and again the same problems. Is it a problem with firefox or just a general sony problem?

    No, same here mate.

    I take it the serial is a 7 digit number on the back of the unit..... "No. *******

    I even tried first registering on sony.ie and logging in that way.....arrgghhh!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,285 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Ok, managed to do it....Jesus.
    I fired up a virtual machine running XP & IE7 and was able to register first time.
    I normally run Win2008 x64 & Firefox here. I did try IE7 & Google Chrome before using the VM route.

    Maybe it's a x64 issue?

    Anyway, it's done. :)

    finally got it to work in work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,189 ✭✭✭Wolff


    Couple of questions on these players for the lads that already got them

    1) When you prebook how long did you wait to pick up the player ? -
    2) How many blurays do you get when you buy and how many do you have
    to register for ?

    I have been twice to ashbourne and the first time the guy said they were no longer taking preorders and to just come in on aa Thursday and the second time they took the preorder told me it would be two weeks and they would call me - which would be hard seeing as they didnt bother to take my no !

    So as you can see Im still confused !

    Cheers

    Booked last Thursday....picked up Monday. Had to pop back in for the DVDs but that was just to clueless staff. Can't blame them.

    Get 3 discs in a box and Iron man. Send off for Batman & Bond.

    They didn't take you number?......do you already have an Xtra-vision acc with them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,189 ✭✭✭Wolff


    Thanks for that - they have the home phone no I suppose off the account
    The three in a box they give them to you there and then ? are they in the box or in their own box

    Do they let you know its in by phone ?

    Have to ask these questions as the staff are completely clueless !

    Thanks again for that as you would not believe what they told me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,285 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Wallie, Mamma-Mia & Hancock come on one box. I got IronMan separate.
    They never rang me over the few days.

    passed by argos today and they have a bush blu ray player advertised in the window for 129.99 euro reduced from 499.99
    probably a piece of crap though, but cheap if you wanna get your foot on the blu ray ladder.

    Cheers for that. All I want is a cheap HD solution so that might suit me.

    Right so. i bought one of these the other day and now I'm told they wont get them in until next week. Fair enough. but I have a question about the HDMI cable. I was looking at a link from this thread that sold them but I'm not sure which one i'll need. Do I need m/f, m/m or what.
    Any help would be great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,473 ✭✭✭✭Our man in Havana


    A standard HDMI cable, that is all you need.

    Just to let you know this offer of the free blu-rays is valid any where you buy the player. Got a phone call from the Sony shop to collect mine today

    got my hdmi in aldi for 10 euros


  • Registered Users Posts: 302 ✭✭GiftGrub100


    Just ordered one from Xtravision Carrigaline, they will have them in stock next wednesday. This really is a very good deal.

    If you have a LCD or Plasma HD TV, there is no excuse not to get Blu Ray when it's this price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    I'm hopefully collecting one tomorrow... Need one for sunday. Paid a deposit in Clondalkin last weekend cause they said they'd have em in yesterday but now they're saying next week... Have to drive out to Meath to pick one up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 624 ✭✭✭beolight


    this is 325 euros in tesco at the moment with 30% back in clubcard points

    not sure if any blurays included in the box though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,473 ✭✭✭✭Our man in Havana


    No discs at all with the tesco offer.

    Terrible deal. They probably put the price up high so they can drop it in the January sales.

    I paid €299 for it 2 months ago from a Sony Centre. There's no way in hell that it should be that price now.

    I'd imagine there's some sort of jiggery-pokery going on with the prices.:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,473 ✭✭✭✭Our man in Havana


    It has to be at the high price for 28 days before any sale. So they will drop the price for a sale no doubt.

    yeah agreed i saw a guy in finglas with one in his trolley which he put back on shelf after i told him about xtravision deal. also told him it was £171 in sterling with 5 blurays

    nice to be able to expose tesco jiggery pokery


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭kaiser soza


    Harvey Norman have a similer offer to Xtravision with the 350 and I think 4 or 5 movies for €250, not sure on the film titles but worth a look.
