This player was released before November 1st, 2007 and is not profile 1.1 compliant. No secondary video decoder chip is included inside the box meaning you will not be able to take advantage of Profile 1.1 features such as Picture-in-Picture. Blu-Ray discs that contain these special features will still play normally, you just won't be able to access the extras that fall under the 1.1 umbrella.
Updating the firmware is accomplished through loading the latest version (available from the Sharp website) onto a USB memory stick and following the instructions. No DVD/CD burning is required to update the firmware.
