I dont think its broken just noisy.LAS VEGAS (CES Booth #14200), Jan. Sorry if anyone reading this thinks I'm just bashing Sony or pumping other brands but I own other machines and with the exception of the online content available with the BDP-570 which is excellent and a major factor in my chosing it, its pretty underwheling mechanically in my experience. The Pioneer/Panasonic players in my house make nowhere near as much noise as the Sony does and it's being asked to do the same job, it just doesnt make sense and makes me suspect that the individual discs being playing are not the issue/problem. I might just keep the BDP-570 around for the rare occasion i want to watch a Blu-ray or just force myself to watch all Blu-rays on the Panasonic in the living room.

I switched out a £500 Pioneer DVD player for the BDP-570 thinking it would be an upgrade but quite frankly I'm tempted to put the Pioneer back into use as the picture quality for DVD is almost identical to the Sony but its just so nice and quiet in comparison. I would post the link but I'm not sure if it would contravene the Sony forum rules but a search on Google and it should appear as the first or second search entry. I found a thread on Amazon's customer forums of people complaining about the noise from the 570, one customer even stated and I quote "not sure if i can live with this". Good to see i'm not alone on this, some DVD's are noisier than others but i think this problem is either mechanical or firmware related, I'm still waiting like you for Sony to post something? I would like to offer more suggestions but until someone from Sony posts your going to have to make a judgement call. To reply to your question, I too thought about returning the unit but didn't bother in the end because even if I got a refund and switched retailers there was no way for me to check any alternate unit before buying it in my local area. Like you I have noticed that certain dvd's are noiser than others but I think this issue goes beyond differences in media and is most definately a mechanical characteristic of the machines.
I play DVD's in mine 99% of the time, and it just wont stop scanning/seeking during playback, its really annoying but it doesn't sound broken just noisy.

I can only assume that the Blu-Ray mechanism fitted is either incredibly cheap/poor or the software controlling it is to blame. My player came from Amazon UK (online order) and when it arrived the packaging was flawless, not a scratch/mark on it so I don't think any of the issues with my BDP-S570 have come from ill treatment of the unit during delivery or handling.
