Preparation

Your firmware may already be up to date, especially if you have a new Blu-ray player model. If the version number is M43.R.0292 or higher, you do not need to update.

If you're not sure, it's easy to check which version of firmware you have:

1. Turn on your TV and check it's tuned to the input your Blu-ray player is connected to, so if the player is connected to the HDMI 2 port, choose HDMI 2 as the input.
2. Turn on the Blu-ray player. If it starts to play a disc, press STOP and wait until you see the Home Screen menu.
3. On the Home Screen, select Setup → System Settings then select ENTER using the arrow keys on the remote control.
4. Select System Information and select ENTER.
5. On the TV screen, if the version number is M43.R.0292 or higher, you already have the most recent firmware version.

  1. For a wired connection, check the LAN cable is connected between the player and the internet source.
  2. For a wireless connection, check the wireless router is turned on and connected to the internet source.
  3. In the network settings, check you have confirmed whether or not your Blu-ray player has its own IP address. (If you use a proxy server, type the IP address of the proxy you use, instead of the proxy hostname, into the Proxy Server field.)
  4. Confirm both Physical Connection and Internet Access show as OK in Network Settings → Network Connection Status.
  5. Try the update again.
• If the power went off while the update was in progress, turn the player on and try the update again.

  1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the mains, then reconnect it after several minutes.
