U can do it thru the settings menu. But ask urself why u want to update firmware? If it is working good for u. Then I would leave it where it is. This player is a great player and with earlier firmware has absolutely No Copyright Protection. Devices like this though can add in the Cinivia Copyright Protection with subsequent firmware updates. ..

Actually, I worked as a bluray salesperson and YES you will need to update, even just for discs. As new bluray movies come out, some of them require updates to play the movie/features. If you contact the manufacturer of the bluray player, they will have an update disc they can send you. If you registered the device when you bought it, this should have been sent automatically.

There are two ways to get the firmware for this unit. The fastest is of course to download it from Samsung.com. However, if you have the model and serial number of your player you can request Samsung send you a disk. It's simply a burned disk with the firmware already on it but it will work just the same. I realize sometimes Samsung tech support leaves something to be desired as far as customer service, but it all depends who you get. Some of the agents are better than others. Most of the agents and supervisors I've dealt with are very nice and helpful, of course you always have the bad apples. Anyway, I do recommend making sure you actually need the firmware before you get it, because if you install firmware you don't need it's my understanding it does more harm than good.

Not true! You can d/l firmware updates onto your computer and transfer to a USB stick and pop it into your player. Done!

Jose,If you have the unit connected to the internet you should be able to go into the on-screen menu and have it search for a firmware update.Eric C

Sorry. I don't know. My player had never worked since I took it out of the package. I never returned it just considered it a sunk cost. Good luck.

There are no firmware updates that I am aware of. AND I would not expect to see one. These devices are priced to be a nearly disposable item. I would test thoroughly, quickly, and return it it it doesn't measure up.

Thank you, Matt. I'll be hooking the player up to the internet today will do the update straight away. I've only had the player for a couple of weeks but so far no problems and I love the difference in the picture. I really hadn't expected such a large difference. Haven't tried non Blu-Ray yet.

I have not had the need for a firmware update, so don't know. This model has been around for several years, so it may not need an update.

Firmware Update for the Blu-ray Disc Player: http://www.intl.onkyo.com/support/firmware/pdf/BD-SP809_Firmware_Update_EU_29401118_web_110914.pdf If you don't have the player connected to the internet you can use a USB flash drive. Hope this helps.

As of right now firmware version 1.51 is available, and netflix appears to be working again. I didn't test anything else, so proceed with caution.

I did not have that player ? in case, is it not working !, check acceptable memory of that player ? i think that player has maximum acceptance memory size 8GB.

Sony pushes out occasional updates to the player. There was one last week. But until Sony makes an update available there isn't anything you can do on your own to improve Hulu/Netflix/Amazon.

Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.

If you like I did buy the remanufactured unit I would suggest that it was never included in the original player. Now you can attempt to hook it up to the internet via the network connection on back of unit and download software update gong through settings.

The only time I was able to upgrade the firmware was during the initial setup,since then, I think it checks on it's on and "alerts" you an upgrade is available.Mine updated once on its own after I said it was allowed. Hope this may help you.

You might try upgrading the firmware on your current player -- that may solve your disc compatibility problems
