Cannot Update Firmware -- Will Not Play Transformers! Maybe I got a "bad" unit from the beginning -- anyone else experiencing similar problems???

You can not just copy the file to CD, such as Drag-To-Disc. This creates a file system the Panasonic can't read. You have to create a data disc. I used Roxio RecordNow but I'm sure Creator Classic would work to. Under record options make sure you select Disc At Once. When you are done, you should go to windows expolerer, right click your CD drive, click properties, and it should list CDFS as the file system. If it does, the CD will work in the Panasonic.

I bought my projector about 6 months ago and have done nothing to upgrade the firmware. The projector has run beautifully since I've had it with no firmware updates. You can see my review of the product on Amazon. I think the firmware concerns were with the models produced late 2011 and early 2012. You should be good now unless you get an older model or unless some new problem has cropped since I last checked.

That sounds like a problem with your individual unit. My wife got me the Blu-ray edition of Planet Earth for Valentines Day and I've been watching them constantly.....no problems detected...not even the slightest hiccup. Have you loaded the latest firmware patch from Sharp? I loaded it the day I bought my player (a couple months ago). Good luck with getting this working!!

Maybe un plug for a while and then start it up from scratch again! Then update on line from Panasonic. May also be a glitch from settings, so might have to be reset to factory settings! Let me what happens!

Were you able to switch it back to Region 1, and did that solve the "disc error" problem? I unlocked my player and it worked well for three months, then -- bam! -- the same problem as you. So I guess the firmware has a bug in it or something?

I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and the firmware I have now is dated 8/24/07 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1036. I have not tweaked my settings yet. The defaults are looking very good with free over the air HD channels. Put in HD channels or blueray player or Hd-dvd player, if all look good then just be happy with it. I can't say for sure about the refurbished unit.

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

I believe there has only been 1 firmware update, which is can be found here: http://www.funai-corp.com/support/Firmwares.aspx You have to burn it to a CD & then load it to the blu-ray player from the CD.

Like the other answer make sure you have the latest firmware and also make sure you are using the 1.4 version HDMI cable. I bought mine over a year ago and I did not do an update and I have no issues.

I think that I had to update it after it was connected or I check to see if there were any up dates before I set it up. Hope this answered what you needed to know. Firmware should be check periodicaly on these devices.

hi, were you able to update it? did you need that in a way to use it? (im asking as Im trying to define if I should or not get this unit...) thanks!

Samsung stopped updating the firmware on this player several years ago. It is therefore not capable of playing any of the latest titles.

I got my BD-P2500 today. They first thing I tried was to upgrade with BD-P2550 firmware. I tried both CD and USB methods. Unfortunately the player is clever enough to know it's being upgraded with the wrong firmware. Upgrading with the correct BD-P2500 firmware worked fine.Too bad. So sad.

Call the company, they may have tried to do a software upgrade on the TV and it got stuck... that happened to mine once. She had me unplug it, the plug it back in and hold the power button while she sent a refresh signal then tried to push the download. Took almost an hour to get it working right.

Most likely you may have to update it to the latest firmware or do a reset to its original state. If this does not work, contact the vendor or manufacturer for support or exchange if the unit is defective.

Yes I updated the firmware. It was not hard and it seemed to work. But its been a while since I've done it.

I'm about ready to give up as well. I just got this player, I updated the firmeware, and now I can't even get into the stupid Media player!!!!! I'm almost ready to take this back to best buy and get a different one. Do you have to restart the computer after the update? I'm going to try that and see if that doesn't work.
