14 DAY TRIAL // Today, Sony has outed two new firmware packages targeted at some of its Blu-ray disk players, namely version M06.R.0629 compatible with the BDP-S280, -S380, and -S383 devices, as well as firmware M07.R.0629 targeted at the BDP-S480, -S580, and -S780 3D players.
If applied, these fresh updates will enhance the BRAVIA Internet Video features, improve the BD-ROM overall playability, and add support for Sony’s Cinavia content protection technology. However, bear in mind that the release is targeted only at Blu-ray players that have been sold in Europe.
As for installing the new versions, first go to Setup → System Settings → Quick Start Mode and make sure the option is set to “Off.” Afterwards, select “System Information” to compare the currently installed firmware with the latest one, in order to ensure that the two versions don’t match.
If checked, get and expand the downloadable archive, write its content onto a CD, make sure the Sony BDP device, as well as the TV, is turned on, and insert the disk into the player.
Now wait for the disk to load and select “Ok” when the “Perform version update?” message is shown on the TV, so that the upgrade process can start. While the new firmware is installing, make sure you don’t turn off the player or use its buttons or remote, so that the device doesn’t encounter any damage.
After the process finishes and the proper message is displayed on the TV, remove the update disk, restart the player, and make sure to check the currently installed version in order to ensure that the process has been successful.
That being said, if you consider applying this release, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your Sony Blu-ray disk player, take into account all the above-mentioned aspects, and stay “updated one minute ago.”
