When Pioneer Electronics announced this "reference" Blu-ray player, one of its major features was BD-Live. However, when the
BDP-09FD shipped, BD-Live wasn't operational yet, pending a firmware update. Now firmware version 2.46, which makes the player capable of accessing online content, has finally come online.
In order to update the player, owners should access the
support page on the Pioneer Electronics site and follow the detailed instructions to download a file, burn it to a CD-R and upgrade the firmware.
In addition to BD-Live support, the new firmware adds conversion of DTS-HD audio to linear PCM for output over the HDMI port, or to analog audio for output over the 7.1 analog audio terminals, as well as crossover frequency selection for the analog audio terminals. Also various stability and playability issues are addressed.
