Question: How can I upgrade the firmware?
Document: Heard people on here saying you need to upgrade firmware or something to play newer blu-rays, but haven't had to do that yet.Overall 5/5 (if you can snag it for under $100)
Folks, I think I got a true bargan in this BD player at $85.00 w/free shipping from Amazon. I haven't had any problems at all with it. It played Avitar in BluRay beautifully. I didn't have to upgrade the firmware as it must have already been upgraded. The only things it has refused to play is HD-DVD and Pal formated DVDs. I'm anxious to see how it will play a 3-D DVD.
For the price, this player is a great entry-level blu-ray player. I had been looking to upgrade from an upconverting DVD player when Blu-ray players dropped $100. While missing the frills of the newest players (e.g., Netflix streaming, Pandora, BD live, etc. ), my player has handled everything I've thrown at it. It upconverts DVDs well, and the picture quality on Blu-ray disks is great.
It's a great piece of technology but it's a little slow to load. Now I hear that these machines need firmware updates off of the internet. I need to look into this.
This is a great player for the money. I wanted an entry level system and this one is fantastic! The only item of note is that for someone willing to spend a little more I would suggest a BD player that connects to the internet for firmware updates.
Bought it real cheap on Amazon. Played the first 15 minutes of the first bluray I played on it and then froze. Could not play any more blu rays on it but could play them just fine on other bluray players. Amazingly, it continues to play DVDs just fine... Tried to download firmware updates but they are non-existent...
I bought this after Thanksgiving and right away out of the box it kept freezing up during a movie. The only way to get ti going again is to unplug it, plug it back in and restart the dvd (a sloooow process at that) then you have to go to the scenes menu and go back to the scene you were on when it froze. I did go to their website and download the firmware update and install it.
I bought this player based off the reviews here and paid $99 for it, and definetly worth the price and more. Picture and sound looks just as good as my ps3, which seems to be the best bluray out there. I would recommend as a main player and bedroom player as I am using it for. Easy to setup and I hear it isn't necessary for a firmware update but I did it anyway.
I am writing this review because I see that nobody has addressed problems with firmware yet. I have and I am really frustrated. Firstly the player has no ethernet ports so downloading firmware is something that has to be done manually. This player comes with an SD slot which I figured would work for downloading firmware updates but it apparently doesn't even do that.
I have had no problems in 2 years and never had to do a firmware update. Every disc plays perfectly, and the picture quality is excellent. I really could not have asked for a better first blu-ray player. I'm in the market for another one now, but so far I'm having a hard time finding one that will match the excellent quality of this Sylvania player.
Answer: I believe there has only been 1 firmware update, which is can be found here: http://www.funai-corp.com/support/Firmwares.aspx    You have to burn it to a CD & then load it to the blu-ray player from the CD.
