Upgrading on firmware is done one of two ways. If the player is fully compatible with Profile 2.0 technology it will have a LAN (internet) connection. You can just hook it up directly to your modem and the player will automatically set up the IP information. When new firmware comes out from the manufacturer a message will come up when you turn the unit on advising that new firmware is available and would you like to update. The firmware is then simply downloaded on line.
If the player is only Profile 1 or 1.1 it will not have a LAN (internet) connection. If this is the case, or if it is not possible to get an internet connection at the player location, you can go to the manfacturer's site and download the firmware to your computer and burn it directly to a CD-R. You then simply pop the CD-R into the player and the firmware will be installed automatically.
Usually, step by step directions are available in the owners manual or on the manufacturer's website. Also, a good place for technical info and help other than here at the store sites is the AVS forum website.
