Like any software, it needs to be updated. That is why it is on a ROM that can easily be changed: it is on flash memory.

If a DVD player that have problems when playing a video, perform an update that can fix it. To do this, simply go to the manufacturer’s site of your equipment and select the model inorder to find the latest firmware.

In the case of a DVD player, it will burn the program on a CD, insert it and then restart to upgrade: these happens automatically. The approach is often given by the manufacturer.

To summarize

  • The firmware can drive a device like a DVD player.
