Firmware Update Instructions - USB Flash Drive

 

USB Update is NOT available for the following models:

BD-P1000

BD-P1200

BD-P1400

BD-UP5000

 

 

Before you start, ensure your player is connected to the TV, both devices are powered on, and your TV is set to the correct auxiliary input for Blu-ray playback. Also, ensure your flash drive is empty.

Connect the USB Flash drive to your computer.

Visit Samsung's Download Center (https://www.samsung.com/us/support/download/) and search for your model number.

Locate the USB firmware update file (not the CD method), and download it to your desktop. It should be a ZIP file containing a RUF file.

Extract the RUF file from the ZIP folder using right-click and copy it to your clipboard.

In File Explorer, find your USB Flash drive and paste the RUF file into its main directory.

Disconnect the USB device safely from your computer.

Insert the USB Flash drive into the USB port on the back of the player, ensuring no disc is present.

Wait for the player to verify the firmware on the USB device; then, confirm the update when prompted.

Allow several minutes for the firmware update process to complete; afterward, the player will turn off automatically.

Remove the USB Flash drive from the player and restart the player.

Select your preferred language using the remote control number buttons.

 

IMPORTANT: If the language selection screen doesn't appear after a few minutes, the firmware installation might have failed. Verify the successful installation by opening the disc tray, keeping the power on, and pressing the "INFO" button on the remote control. Check if the firmware information displays correctly.
