About DVD Player Firmware:

Firmware updates fix device bugs, add new features and renew the player’s software in order to meet new industry standards. Therefore it is not always necessary to purchase a new product in order to stay up to date with current technology.

Upgrading your device is not necessarily of paramount importance, as the device will function without daily updates. This being said, keeping your device up to date may offer you a more satisfying experience while using it.

The most common ways to update your DVD player’s firmware are by using an update DVD, a USB memory stick or, if your player has network connectivity, you can use the internet to automatically download and install the new update.

During the firmware update process, do not interfere with the device in any way because this may cause the player to malfunction. If you are using a DVD for the update, make sure that it is clean and without scratches.

Although updating your DVD player gives you a lot of useful perks, it should be done cautiously because any deviation from the instructions may cause irreparable damage to your device.
