sony bdp-370 firmware upgrade problems.
- Thread starter admin_exported
- Start date
When I got my 370 I upgraded the firmware with no problems. I did it manually:
1. Download the file.
2. Unzip it.
3. Burn unzipped files to a blank CD.
4. Insert burned disc and wait until player turns off - display will give status - about 9 steps.

Clown & Manicm,
Why don't you just hook an ethernet cable up to the rear of the unit and download the latest firmware?
It is only a matter of a minute or two.
I'm surprised that you are still doing it manually using a dics.

If the internet connection is lost half way through, you may have a dead machine. A cd is far safer.

Hammill,
I have had the ethernet cable set up with various blu-ray players for some time now and never once did I encounter any loss in the internet connection when carrying out a firmware update. I trail a cable from my bedroom where the router is, to my living room.
Anyone with a Profile 2 blu-ray player shouldn't have to burn cd's anymore - a thing of the past and a necessity with Profile 1 players unfortunately.
All it cost me was £5.00 for a really long lead and I have this set up permanently where my blu-ray player is sitting. A one time negligible cost for such a convenience (in the absence of Wi-Fi, which is even better!)
Also, with the S-370 in particular, there is so much more that is available - BBC i Player etc etc, so how would this be accessed without intenet connectivity?

I also have an update problem with my bdp-s370. Updated last night via internet through Sony Network Update and I have no picture signal coming from the bdp-s370.
I only see the blu-ray load up screen before it goes blank.
I have tried to reduce the picture resolution on the player, but still no good. My tv is a LG LH4000.
It looks like it's bricked, apart from the blu-ray player. No media menu and no picture/sound from standard dvds. Only blu-ray works! I bought the bdp-s370 to stream movies from Lovefilm.
I don't think the update has been installed correctly, possibly a corrupt update?
I have contacted Sony by e-mail, I await there response.
I don't think it's the fault of the hdmi cable, unless Sony have improved the hdmi connectivity to v1.4 for 3D.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know?
