After watching a movie on my BD-P2500 tonight, a pop-up letting me know that new firmware was available. The new V2.3 firmware downloaded and was installed in about 15 minutes.
As with any new firmware upgrade, Setup needs to be run again, including setting up your video, sound and network connection. Because the BD-P2500 requires a manual setup of the network connection, you need to know what to enter so you can get connected again.
A few weeks ago, I downloaded V2.1 and have had no problems. Can view HD content and it looks great. V2.3, its another story. I connected to Netflix, selected a movie in my queue and the sound was ok, but the video was out of sync. Rechecked setup and tried it again, same problem. Went back to setup, viewing 1080p normal, but changed 24 frame to OFF. I do not know if this is a bug in the software, but it is now working. Also in setting the time, it is not saving what you enter.
I do not know what additional features this update offered, and would not recommend doing it and having to deal with setting everything up again.
