USB firmware update?

[zerocool55]

Hey all,

I just got my first player on black Friday. I used this site to help find it. I got the Sony S350 and I want to add the firmware update. Can I do that with the exe file on a 2.0 USB flash drive or burning the exe file onto a dvd?

As of right now, I don't have a way to connect it directly to the internet.

Thank you

No, according to Sony there are only three options, the USB FLash in not one of them.

There are three ways to obtain the Blu-ray Disc player firmware update:

* Network Update:
o The Network Update operation is straightforward, so it is highly recommended that you use the Network Update method.
o You will need to connect the Blu-ray Disc player to your Internet source using an Ethernet cable.
o Please see the Network Update Instructions section below, for more information.
* Create an Update Disc:
o If you cannot connect the Blu-ray Disc player to your Internet source, please use the disc update method.
o Please click the Download Now link at the top or bottom of this page to download the firmware update.
o Please see the Download the Firmware and Create an Update Disc section below, for more information.
o A drive with CD disc burning capability, and a new blank CD-R disc are required to create the update disc.
* Request an Update Disc
o If you cannot connect the Blu-ray Disc player to your Internet source, please use the disc update method.
o If you cannot create a CD on your computer, Sony will provide a free disc containing the firmware update. Click here to order the firmware update disc.
o After you receive the disc, please see the Disc Update Instructions section below, for more information.

That EXT slot you see on the back of the player, is used for USB Flash memory but only to allow you to use BonusView & BD-Live on some BDs.

Thanks a bunch. Everyone seems to completely rock on this site. Hopefully I can start making more money so I can buy better toys and ask you all how to use them.
