Samsung BD-P1400 Firmware help

[BluMonkey]

Hi Guys,

Ive downloaded the latest firmware, burned iso to disk and finalised the cd...

Inserted into the machine, only to have it spat back out saying unreadable...

Ive birned it about 6 x and onto a DVDR still no joy ...

Any Idea?

Cheers in advance

Make sure you are burning as an image onto a cd-r, if it is burnt as data it will be unreadable by the player.

HI

Yep Ive burned it as an image using nero .. disk is named itself after burning BDP1400.

Image seems ok, but player is having none...

I upgraded the firmware on the last release no problems

[problu]

use the MagicISO to burn your cd trust me it will work.

[BluMonkey]

Ive just made another coaster this time I tried Alcahol Buring software...

I dont understand why It wont work...?

I downloaded the update to computer (it was a zipped file)
Then, I found the file and clicked on it to select and open it (inside the zipped directory)
Under Windows VISTA, the free OEM version of Roxio Creator 9 opened and asked me to confirm that I wanted to burn it as an image file.
(So apparently it was recognized as an image file and correctly assumed I wanted to make a CD image on CD)
I said yes to that option and it burned the disk to CDR and ejected it in about 30 seconds.
Then, I popped it into the BDP1400 and followed the website instructions, which went exactly as stated.


The key thing is that you have to burn an IMAGE file, you can't just copy the file over to the CD. The words "IMAGE" or 'ISO IMAGE" must be part of the burning software options.

BluMonkey,

Why dont you just plug the supplied ethernet cable into your router/switch, remove any discs from the tray, and go into setup and let it update over the network? If you are really paranoid, you can just disconnect the network cable from your router after the firmware upgrade completes.

This way you dont have to worry about burning this and that in this format and blah, blah, blah.

I did this immediately after hooking my 1400 up the other Friday and it works like a charm.

It could save you some time and greif.

Never mind, I just noticed you dont have a 1400.
Maybe the 1000/1200 also has an ethernet port?

This is not anything official or what not (disclaimer!). My wife's just complaining too much about me having enough coasters to start my own AA group meeting at house. I'll probably invite all of them anyway to enjoy this marvel of high speed machine.
