Is it possible to firmware fix my Pioneer BD-RW BDR-S09 sadly I have the last firmware 1.55, I suspect it won't be able to.
Many thanks.

Thank you for the info MartyMcNuts, I thought it might be the case, shame.

I am also in need of flashing my BDR-209s to be UHD friendly. Would it be possible to me help me as well. Thanks!

I too have a BDR-209 that's old, but still good, that I'm looking to flash to support UHD. Hopefully this can be done pretty easily?

Many thanks!

No. But if you ever need to flash back to original just PM me or post in the forum.

Ok.
Thank you again for your help

Nice to meet you

Merry XMAS !!!

Carlos from Madrid ( Spain )

Another Pioneer BDR-209M owner here, this one inside a Buffalo BRXL-16U3.
This drive neither sees nor reads Blu-ray discs. Would you have a firmware update/patch to fix this?
Thanks!
