Blue Ray software update

[Magnum]

Confused on Blue Ray software update process.

I would like to update the software on my BR player.

You can either burn it to a CD or install it using the ethernet connection.

Sony says not to use a RW disk, only a write once disk. I only have RW disks.
Consequences of using one include totally trashing the player.

I hooked up a ethernet cable, but it can not make a network connection.

This is all new to me.

I have the software, that is not the problem.

ok - well, i can update the firmware in my optical drives with a program
after it's done, i may have to re-boot to make the new code take affect
very simple
i have never seen one that i had to update at boot only,
except from a manufacturer that's too lazy to write an app for it - lol
just use a 3rd party app

I burned it to a DVD-R and it updated in 1 minute.
