Blu-ray Disc™ Player Owners: What You Need to Know
Did you know?
The Blu-ray Disc™ format is an evolving format. By keeping your firmware up to date, you will assist in
making sure that your Blu-ray Disc™ player works with features on the latest cutting-edge movie releases.
What is Firmware?
Firmware is the software within the Blu-ray Disc™ player that tells the player what to do and how to
operate. Much like a computer, Blu-ray Disc™ players sometimes need an update to support the latest
features.
It‘s Easy to Update!
Sony occasionally updates firmware to help improve your player experience.
There are three different ways you can update the firmware in your Blu-ray Disc™ player:
Connect your player to a high-speed internet connection (using the LAN (100) terminal) and follow the
on-screen menu of the player in “Network Update” under “Setup.”
On your computer go to www.esupport.sony.com and enter in the model of your player. There will be
instructions how to download and install the update to your player.
