Can someone help me!? - Blu-ray Forum

Sorry if I was too vague. It's a Sharp HDTV and the model is LC-26AD22U. It has a built in DVD player (I know, it sounds weird to have a Blu-ray Player connect to it, but my parents bought it last year as a gift and thought it would be nice to have one along with it.)

I first used an HDMI cable from Comcast. I tried it and it didn't work. When I got the Sharp Blu-ray player (Model BD-HP21) I also got a Rockefish HDMI cable. I tried it and it still didn't work.

The tv came out last year and I believe the player just came out in September. I did read somewhere in the manual about updating the player, but I just want to be sure from you guys about any other suggestions. I went to Best Buy earlier today and a guy told me I may need to do a firmware update. Is this true?

I've looked, but can't find a whole lot of information about your set. I will say, though, that is most likely not your cable. Your set is 1366x768, so make sure your player is not outputing 1080p (I doubt that's the problem, but you never know). Try a firmaware update on your Sharp BD player and see if that fixes the problem. Report back here after you've done that and let us know what happened. If it's still not working, then we'll go back to the drawing board.

Well, I just watched The Dark Knight last night! Weird how that work. I didn't expect that to happen.

Anyway, so to do the firmware update, do I just save it onto a USB drive, then download it onto the player? And if so, would would you recommend for space (2 or 4 GB or higher?)
