BDP-S1, Firmware 1.6 Released... (1 Viewer)

[Rob Grim]

The title says it all, now all I have to do is figure out how to get a copy, lol. Here is what the firmware corrects or fixes.

This utility updates the BDP-S1 firmware to version 1.60, and is the first of two planned updates to address certain compatibility issues. This update provides the following benefits:

Improvements over firmware version 1.55:

Enhanced playback compatibility with certain BD-ROM format discs, including improved pop-up menu functionality.
Improves BD-Java compatibility to enhance interactivity with some BD-ROMs.
Additional improvements over original firmware:

Enhanced customer support capability
Compatibility with the newly released BD-R/RE format (BDMV).
Improves BD-Java compatibility to enhance interactivity with some BD-ROMs.
Enhanced playback compatibility with certain BD-ROM format discs.
Corrects the output signal status information for audio output and display when Linear PCM 5.1 channel soundtracks are played via HDMI.

Just call Sony support at 1-866-909-7669 and they'll send you the DVD at no charge. I ordered it on 24 May and received the disc on the 29th. Probably would've been faster if Monday hadn't been a holiday.

You can also download the update to a DVD via their site if you have a DVD burner. Just go to Sony.com click on Service and Support. When the drop down menu appears go to Drivers/Software and follow the prompts below.

I just bought a DVD burner so that I don't have to keep calling them for the discs.

Cheers!
