Your update should take about 40 minutes, assuming you have a fast Internet connection.

Hello,
I recently purchased a bdp-1500. I went to update the firmware yesterday and it sat for 2+ hours with "Net up" (i think that is what it said) on the lcd. My power ended up going out, but the thing still works, just reverted to factory defaults. Is this length of time normal? The book said 4-5 minutes. If my unit is defective I would like to know so that I can return it for a working unit.
Thanks
