Hi,

I cannot download this new update, the only one availavle at the philips website is 3.17 which is what I already have.

Plus does anyone know why I cannot get BBC iplayer on this blueray machine? There are only a handful of apps available for the UK, I was expecting a lot more.....

Hi Philips - QK,

1. Firmware Upgrade:

I followed the steps to upgrade the fireware and after the last step of performing a RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT, though the player restarted but there is no signal to the TV anymore. Further, the panel reads something like "SWERR".

I ended up replacing the player with the shop. Now I got another machine, shall I upgrade the firmware again?


2. Simplyshare:

How can I get the activiation code for using Simplyshare Android apps?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Philips - QK,

One more information, my model is BDP5500/98.

Hi,

the simplyshare code can be found in the Version Information menu of the BDP.
