Network Blu-ray Disc Player with Wireless Connectivity

If you want stunning Full HD 1080p and the unlimited possibilities of wireless, streaming entertainment, you've found it with the BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player. With NetCast Entertainment Access and Integrated Wi-Fi Connectivity, you get thousands of movies, shows and online videos straight to your TV from your wireless Internet connection at home. This is a Blu-ray player that delivers the best in HD, while setting your entertainment free in more ways than one.

Issues and Solutions

Note that many issues can be fixed by install Firmware version .323C, setting the 1080p Display Mode from 24Hz to 60Hz, and turning off BD Live.

Skipping or Audio Distortions

Some disks may experience skipping ahead during playback. Newer firmware versions higher than 211C can cause skipping when 24Hz is selected.

To Fix:

BD Live Issues

BD Live is not handled well by most players. You should disable BD Live as follows:

Wireless Network Issues

Here are some things to try if the player cannot connect to the network:

Playing Video Files

For a good description of the video file formats supported, please see this post.

Play DVD ISO Files

Play VOB Files

Play Files With VC-1 Codec

Video Stutter Playing Image files

Make the Player Region Free

Cannot update the firmware over the network

Factory Reset Procedure

  1. Unplug the unit from power.
  2. Press and hold the power button on the unit itself for about 30 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the unit.

No Audio Through HDMI

Try disabling the HDMI-CEC feature on the rest of my components. Please note that there are no CEC settings on the LG. The player just doesn't seem to play nice with other manufacturers CEC features.[2]

Cannot Display Large JPG Pictures

Photo Files recommended size: (From the manual)

Disable Sound from HDMI

Netflix Streaming Not Working

Try initializing the player's setting and setting up the player again.

CIFS Login Issues

First, follow the procedures here: DLNA Setup on a LG Blu-ray Player
Then if that doesn't work, try removing Windows Live products (if you have them installed already) as described here: LG Home Link CIFS Problems Solved
Finally, you may need to change a network security setting. This only seems to apply to Vista or Windows 7, which use a different version of NT LAN Manager (NTLM) than XP, and they need to be set up so they can accept connections from earlier versions of the NTLM protocol, which it seems the LG player uses for maximum compatibility with what is still the most widely used OS out there. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open the Run command and type "secpol.msc".
Optional: (2. Press "continue" when prompted by UAC.)
3. Click on "Local Policies" --> "Security Options"
4. Navigate to the policy "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it.
By default Windows Vista sets the policy to "NTVLM2 responses only". Windows 7 was set as "undefined" in my experience.
5. Change this to "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
6. Click OK.
After this your shared folders will show up. You shouldn't have to bother with the CIFS login either, as Windows 7 has a built-in DLNA server.
