Samsung Blu Ray BD-1500 firmware question.
Last week I updated the firmware to this player because it wouldn't play the new bond discs properly. (The disc would load, but the movie wouldn't, only the menu). Once I updated the FW, the disc played fine. BUT! Now the player will not read DVD's at all. Anytime I put a dvd into the player it won't load and the player says "No Disc". Has anyone else had this problem? If so is it fixable. As much as I love the updatable firmware, I hate worrying about the side effects of it!

I heard there is a FW update for the BDP1500 that will enable it to play avi files? True or False? How do I do the FW update and should I use the USB port? Any tips or advice regarding this would be great, thanks. Cheers.

Can't answer the first question but as to how to do the update... there should be instructions in your owners manual. Or check online at Samsung's website. I have a Panasonic and all the instructions are in both places.
The benefit of a firmware update is making sure your player is working the best it can. If you have issues with discs not playing, might be fixed with updates.You might get added features.
