Sony BDP-S300 Firmware - Blu-ray Forum

bmwdriver · 06-25-2009, 06:38 AM

Hello, Everyone! I've got a few questions about my Sony BDP-S300. I've had it for over a year now & I tried to play Star Trek TOS Disc 1. It wouldn't play. I'm wondering if I need to update the Firmware. If so, how is this done? I went to the Sony website but my OS was not listed in the drop down menu. I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11. I guess from lack of research, I didn't realize that there was Firmware. I just hooked it up and started playing movies. I would like to get the optimum performance from my player. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You are in the US? You can contact Sony and they will send you a firmware disc

You could bootcamp your mac and install windows and then download and burn your own discs. I had to do this for my machines.

Hook your blu-ray player to the internet just for the firmware upgrade then take it back to the tv...or Just get a PC...instead of a crap mac

If u don't want to deal with it using your MAC, then hit the sony website and click on the SUPPORT HOME link and enter your model number and have them send u an update dics OR read the instructions on the SONY site as to downloading it using a MAC. Maybe u could use a friend's PC to do it. It only takes a few minutes to DL and burn to a disc. Either way, best of luck to ya.

I uploaded the ectracted .iso file about a week and a half ago for other mac users. You can download the v4.90 for the BDP-S300 via this link:
