To update the firmware for the Vizio VBR100 Blu-ray player, you need to download the firmware package to a computer with a CD-R or other optical disc burner. The firmware is a .zip file. Next extract the contents of the compressed folder to see the .ISO file. Use the computer program to burn the ISO to CD. Windows 7 and later included this type of program (right click on the file and choose Burn disc image). For other systems, you need a program that can burn image files to disc. Nero Burning ROM is one such program.
Now make sure that the player does not have an optical disc in the unit and turn it off. If possible, plug the Blu-ray player into an UPS (battery backup). Turn the player back on and wait for the No Disc message. Press Eject to open the disc tray and put in the CD with the firmware. Close the disc tray. The Loading Disc message should appear on the screen followed by the firmware screen. Press Select on the remote to start the update process. (Use the down arrow followed by Select to cancel the procedure.) Wait for the update to finish; you do not want the power to go off during this time. The disc tray will open when the "Success" message is displayed. Remove the CD and press Select. The unit will restart. To check your firmware version, turn on the Blu-ray player with no optical disc in the tray. When you see the "No Disc" message, press eject to open the disc tray. Press the digits 7 8 0 4 in order on the remote. Look at the Revision number of the firmware.
Note: not all versions of the VBR100 can have the firmware updated. Also, Vizio no longer supports this model. There are some third-party sites that claim to have the file. Use caution; suspicious code can be added to the file by various parties.
R U sure the firmware update was the correct update and that it installed successfully? Check in the firmware part of the burning program to obtain a list of the currently installed firmware.
Use ImgBurn. When burning data/music to disc. Choose 4x or lowers write speed. Faster write speeds have more chance of error. If you want the most accurate burn, I would suggest 2x. It may take a while but a chance of error is very low
I had exactly the same problem -- error message of "This disc can be neither played nor recorded. Please check the disk [EC:0207]" after the machine had been working fine for a year. I downloaded the latest firmware from the Samsung website, burned it to a CD-R disk (took three tries until the DVD Recorder recognized the disk -- worked when I used Rocio CD Creater software), then loaded the firmware updates to the DVD Recorder. On the Samsung website you can retrive the firmware update instructions as well. I had to perform the firmware upgrade several times until it successfully updated both the system firmware as well as the disk firmware. After successfully updating both, the Recorder now recognizes the DVD-R disks and I was able to resume recording. I have however, noted some choppiness with the playback of the newly recorded disks. Other than that, the firmware upgrade successfully resolved the problem.
