How do you update a blu ray player?

How do I update a samsung bd-p-1500 blu ray player?

• How do I upgrade the firmware? We have tried downloading the firmware to the usb flash drive, and connecting the ethernet cable to the lan port on the router and it keeps saying "cannot connect to the internet". Any Ideas? thanks!

• Answer:

  First of all You cant just simply download the firmware update to a thumbdrive. What you did was download the ectractor program, you still have to extract the file and then burn ( not copy) the "image" to a CD. Then you put the cd into the blu ray drive and close it. When you downloaded the initial file, did you printthe instruction sheet. There are steps to follow (or rather to allow the player to follow) so that you dont turn it off before the upgrade was done. You can also do this by using the ethernet cord. I know you said that you could not connect to the internet. But did you actually go to the setup menu on the blu ray player. On my sony there is a network update function that has to be selected first before you connect to the internet. If you get this to work, you dont need to download the disk and the firmware upgrades can be set to download auomatically.
