My Blu-ray player needs a jump-start
Dec. 27th, 2013 08:19 pmYesterday it was working fine. Today, all it says is "HELLO." The remote is working -- did you know you can check the remote with your camera phone? -- but the player just sits there. The eject button ejects the disk, but it won't suck it back in again.
The good news is that apparently Panasonic takes its one-year warranties seriously. I called tech support because I was hoping there was some magic reset key combination (there is, but it didn't work for me), and after almost an hour of trying everything suggested, I have a case number and an address to sent it to. Only after they receive my proof of purchase, but luckily, I still have that.
My DVD players seem to be in a downward spiral. I don't remember the timing, but each one I owned has lasted less time. Each one also cost less, though this one is actually a Blu-ray player, so it cost rather more than the DVD player it replaced.
No real message here, just kvetching at the perfidy of mechanical objects. I'd intended to watch the last few episodes of Season 3 of Justified tonight, but instead I'll watch more of The Closer on my Roku. So far that's still working properly.
