Firmware update BDP9000 

Please be sure to follow the instruction steps in order to update your player. If a problem occurs while you are updating the player, please call Philips help desk for assistance. 

It is possible that the firmware upgrade process will clear some of the video or audio output settings you have made — after the upgrade you may have to adjust these settings in order to get the video and audio to work again with your equipment. 

Burn the downloaded file onto a blank CD-R or CD-RW disk, following the below procedures. 

1) Download the firmware update file 

2) The update file is compressed (*.zip), the file should be uncompressed before burning. 

3) Burn the update file on a blank CD-R or CD-R/W disk by using "Burn Image" option. (Ref. "Recorder" menu "Burn Image" in case of Nero Burning ROM) 
The CD must be 'closed' or 'finalized'; this is a burning option in your burning program. 

4) Burn an image file of the software update file (*.iso). 

Note: 

Recommended CD Burning Program:
