Updating the firmware for your Samsung Blu-ray player can often improve its performance. Samsung Blu-ray players can be updated in one of three ways: using a Wi-Fi network, using a USB flash drive, or using a disc with the update files burned to it. The amount of time it takes to install an update depends on the size of the update. If you're performing the update over a wireless connection, it also depends on the speed of that connection.

Using Wi-Fi
Remove any discs that are in the Samsung Blu-ray player and press the 'Menu' button on the remote control. Select 'Settings.' Choose 'Support' and select 'Software Upgrade.'
Select 'By Internet.' A message will appear saying the Blu-ray player is connecting to a server. If a software update is available for your Blu-ray player, it will start downloading automatically. A dialog box will appear after the upgrade file is successfully downloaded.
Select 'Upgrade Now.' The Blu-ray player will install the upgrade file and restart. Upon successfully booting up after restarting, the update is complete.
Using USB or Disc
Open your computer's Web browser and then navigate to the Samsung Support website (see Resources).
Enter the model number associated with your Samsung Blu-ray player in the field labeled, 'Start by Entering Your Product's Model Number or Name'. Click the name of your Blu-ray player in the drop-down menu that appears to open the Support screen for that specific device.
Click 'See all downloads' in the Downloads section and then click the 'Firmware' tab. Download the file that's associated with the upgrade you want to download.
Navigate to the location where you saved the upgrade file on your computer, right-click the file and click 'Extract Here' to extract the contents of the ZIP file to a single folder.
Copy the extracted folder onto a blank USB flash drive or burn the folder to a blank disc.
Remove a disc from the Samsung Blu-ray player if one is in it and then connect the USB flash drive to the USB port on the back of the Blu-ray player. Alternatively, if you burned the contents of the ZIP file to a disc, insert that disc in the player.
Press the 'Menu' button on the remote control that came with the device and select 'Settings.' Select 'Support' and then 'Software Upgrade.'
Select 'By USB' if you connected the USB flash drive to the player, or select 'By Disc' if you inserted a disc with the upgrade file on it in the Blu-ray player. The upgrade will begin. After the upgrade is installed, the Samsung Blu-ray player will restart. Upon successfully restarting, the upgrade is complete and you can either disconnect the USB flash drive or remove the disc from the player.

Just managed to unlock my player, I can now play DVDs from all the regions. Ifollowed the following steps. Thanks to whoever discovered it first:
1. Ensure that there is no disk in the tray.
2. Switch the player off and then back on. This is necessary to clean-boot the
firmware.
3. Wait until the main menu page appears and the player stops doing
anything.
4. Press the eject button to open the tray. (The button is between the 'Power'
and 'TV Power' buttons at the top of the controller.)
5. Press the eject button to close the tray.
6. Wait while the player searches for a disk.
7. As soon as the 'No Disk' message appears at the top left corner do the
following.
8. Press the REPEAT button – just above the TV channel selector at the bottom
right of the controller.
9. Enter 76884 on the number pad.
10. The region code '4' should appear at the top left corner of the
screen.(this just flashed on then off, so keep an eye on the screen)
11. Enter a '9' to make the player region free.
12. Power down and power up again.
13. Play a foreign DVD to verify the change.
Firstly, you must start entering the code just after the 'No Disk' message is
shown and before the message disappears.
Secondly, the REPEAT key is part of the code. All six keys must be entered
smoothly as 'REPEAT 57538'. The entry gets timed out so you can't stop in
the middle and restart. Don't bash away like crazy, just do it smoothly and
briskly.
If you don't see the '4' the first time, don't worry. Just repeat the process. It
took me about a dozen tries before I got it to work.
I can't guarantee that this player does not have a region change counter so I
would be a bit careful about changing regions back and forth. I also can't
guarantee that this will work with all released firmware. Samsung seems to
take this crazy region bastardry very seriously for some reason.
For people from other parts of the world, all region codes are as follows
1 – 2 9 3 3 4
2 – 5 7 5 3 8
3 – 5 6 7 3 2
4 – 7 6 8 8 4
5 – 5 3 8 1 4
6 – 2 4 4 6 2
