Last night I wanted to watch the Blu Ray version of "Jumper" in my Samsung BD-P1000 Blu Ray DVD Player. When I loaded the movie I received a message on the screen that the Firmware in my player needed to be updated. Well, that is when the fun started (yea, right)!
I went to the Samsung Site and found the latest Firmware for the player in a PDF file. There were no instructions to be found on the web site or in the player manuel on what to do with the file. I finally went to the on-line help section and a technician immediately respond to my request for assistance. The instructions were to download the file, extract the files to a folder and then write the ISO file as an image to a CD. Well it only took me three attempts to write the ISO file as an image but I finally managed to to do so. I then loaded the CD into the Blu Ray Player and received a message on the screen that the Firmware was being updated. The upgrading process took approximately 15 minutes. After it was finished I removed the CD and turned the player off and back on again. "Jumper" loaded and played without any issues.
I don't know how many of you have older Blu Ray Players but thought I would alert you to my Firmware Updating Experience!
