updating firmware on magnavox nb500mg1f

[Darryl Claps]

i downloaded the .bin file from the magnavox site and burned it to a cd-r. When I put the disc in the bluray player, I got an error. (tried this twice w/2 different discs). Magnavox site of no help - told me if I got an error, I must be burning a bluray disc. (really? my computer doesnt even play bluray, much less burn them). Put the .bin file on the sd card (the only other interface on the player). Player read the card, but did not read the .bin file.

Any other thoughts on how to update firmware?

I'm experiencing sudden stops in playback, even after cleaning the bluray player. (Pristine discs played once end up looking "mottled" after ejecting).

Hey Darryl, I was having the same problems with my Blu-Ray. Were you ever able to resolve the problem? I can't seem to update the driver.

Daryl never signed in again after July 4, so don't hold your breath here. He shouldn't have posted on a holiday or weekend if he lacked patiences as a lot of our members are Americans and don't participate here on holidays and weekends.

Anyway, to deal with YOUR issue, please describe in detail EXACTLY how you burned your firmware disc. Tell what software you used and what steps you took to burn it. Also, tell what brand (ie. Sony, Maxell, etc.) and type of disc (ie. CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, etc.) you burned to.

Hey.

Well, I learned that simply loading the DVD into the blu-ray and expecting it to properly read the disc is false. I went into setup and clicked directly on software update. I have a Magnavox NB500G1F. I am currently on the software update screen and it says loading software... even though the progress bar is full. I am not sure if it is stuck or simply installing the drivers still. It has been like that for about 45 min. now. I went to the Magnavox website and downloaded the driver update. I then burned it to a DVD+R disc and then put it in the blu-ray player when prompted.

Any advice?

Thanks.
