How do I get software update for my Sharp Aquos BDHP21U Blu-Ray player?
It will not play new Blue Ray DVDs–reads but then hangs up. It won’t even eject or turn off. I had to unplug it and restart before it would even eject. Still plays older blue rays and regular dvds.
Be sure to verify your player model number. They say that the firmware is for these models: BDHP22U/BDHP210U, and you said your model was BDHP21U (did you miss a zero?).
Click on the tabbed link on this page that says "Software": http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/BluRayDisc/BDHP22U.aspx . Then click on the "Download file" link.

According to page 45 of the manual for BD-HP22U, you put a copy of the unzipped file you downloaded onto a USB drive and insert the drive into the USB port of the player: http://www.sharpusa.com/~/media/B97CF61398E1402F8186798AEF41772B.ashx .
The manual also lists a number for phone support, 1-800-BE-SHARP (800-237-4277).
Contact Sharp customer service, sharp.com or the toll-free phone number in the manual that you shouldn’t have thrown away.
