About Blu-Ray Player Firmware:

Blu-Ray Player Firmware updates serve to fix bugs, add features, new functions and improve playback compatibility with Blu-Ray disks.

Because Blu-Ray movies are usually encoded for copy protection, users may experience compatibility problems if they use outdated software. In order to counter this problem, manufacturers issue firmware updates that improve compatibility for various encoding techniques.

Although upgrading your firmware can bring various improvements to disc playback and compatibility, the process is quite risky and may cause damage to your device if not done properly.

Here are some general pointers to help you successfully update your device’s firmware: make sure that you have downloaded the correct firmware for your device, do not interfere in any way with the device while the update is in progress, and make sure your player is connected to a reliable power source during the firmware update.

Note that it is a good idea to reset your device to factory default settings after the firmware update. Also, please keep in mind that a failed upgrade can cause stability issues, random crashes or permanent damage to your device.
