NOTE: - If you have any difficulty carrying out these instructions, please contact Pioneer Customer Support Center. Toll Free in USA 1-800-421-1404



A. Check the current firmware version of the player:
You can also use the remote control.

1. Press the "STANDBY/ON" button to switch the unit on.
2. If the player starts to play a disc, press the "STOP" button and wait until the
    Pioneer logo is displayed on your TV.
3. Press the "Home Menu" button.
4. Select "Initial Setup" then press "Enter."
5. Select "Video Out" then press "Enter".
6. Select "TV Aspect Ratio" then press "Enter".
7. Press the "Blue" button on the remote control.
8. The firmware version of your player will be displayed in the bottom right
    portion of the TV screen.
    - If the version number is 2.21 or higher, it is not necessary to update the
       firmware.
    - If the version number is less than 2.21, it is necessary to update the
       firmware. Please continue to Step B.


B. Download the firmware ZIP file from Pioneer's website:
1. Download the firmware ZIP file named "BDP_0551FD_Ver221.zip" from
    the website to a folder on your computer.


C. Copy the firmware to a disc:

NOTE: To create a CD-R/-RW update disc, you will need ...
- A CD-R/-RW drive
- CD-R/-RW creation (writing) software
- One blank CD-R or CD-RW disc
  CD-R Disc:  You can only use a blank CD-R disc
  CD-RW Disc: You must erase the contents of the CD-RW disc before copying
  the firmware files to the disc
- Supported OS: Windows: 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, MacOS

* No other OS is supported for this update.
* For information about burning a CD-R/-RW, refer to the instruction manual
   for your disc creation software.
* Certain conditions or PC settings may prevent you from being able to
   correctly create the update disc.
* For information about adding files to a CD-R/-RW, refer to the instruction
   manual for your disc creation software, or ask the manufacturer of the
   disc creation software or manufacturer of the PC for further assistance.

1. Place a CD-R/-RW disc in the CD drive.
2. Double click the ZIP file named "BDP_0551FD_Ver121.zip" to open it.
3. Double click the zipped ISO file named "BDP_0551FD_Ver117.iso".
    - The CD creation writing software on your computer should automatically
       open. After the software opens, it should already be set to burn an image
       file.
    - If not, please make this the setting in your software. If your software does
       not open automatically, then please go to step 4, otherwise skip to step 5.

   as an update disc and you will not be able to carry out the update.
- You could not find a file named ".DLdiscidentifier.txt" depending on the
   configuration of your computer because it is hidden file.

DLfile.pkg    95.3Mbyte(99,942,480byte)
.DLdiscidentifier.txt  93byte
DLdiscidentifier.txt  93byte

1. Confirm the file named "DLfile.pkg" is on the disc and also confirm its file
    size.
    - You can check the file size by selecting a file then pressing the right
       mouse button and choosing "Properties".
    - If the file name and size do not match the ones listed above, then
