Hello:
I recently bougth 2 Onkyo DV-SP1000 on Ebay. They are both the US version.
I would like to know if anyone has the newest firmware on CD(version 1.25, I believe).
I've twice tried to contact Onkyo USA about a firmware and they haven't responded. Pretty awful support, I think. I also asked Onkyo Europe, but they didn't have the firmware and didn't know if the firmware for the European version could the used on the US version...

So I'm desperately looking for the firmware. :(

The reason I want to update is that one of the players only got firmware 1.10 while the other got 1.24.
The one with the oldest firmware have a hard time reading dvd+r and dvd-r. When it sometimes does load a dvd, it often have trouble reading the end of the dvd.
The other player with 1.24 doesn't have so many troubles reading dvds.
Of course it could be the laser, but I thought maybe a firmware update could help. At least an Onkyo dealer told me it might be a solution.

What it the general experience with this dvd player reading dvd+r and dvd-r?

So could any present or previous owners of this otherwise wonderful player please help me.
Could someone rip the CD and upload the firmware?
I would even be willing to pay a small fee it anyone could copy the cd and ship to me. I live in Denmark by the way.

Thanks

Hi,
You might have solved your problems, but I have a contact in Onkyo US. I can ask him for you. I will be in touch with him medio december. Could you please give me the excact question I should ask him for you?

I have just bought the same player from US myself and have experienced the problems of getting answers from Onkyo and their service centres. I live in Norway, which is region 2. Do you know how to make this player region free?

I have found the follwing instructions on the net, but have not got it confirmed yet.
Using Onkyo remote RC-498DV or RC 484M:

Power on. No disc
Press "DV" & "1", release both at the same time
Press "return"
Press "setup" quickly
Press "9" quickly (for multi-region)
Power off

Regards,
Svein

Hi Svein:
I really just want Onkyo support to tell me how to get the newest firmware for the DV-SP1000. If your contact in Onkyo USA could get and send the firmware, it would be great.
However I just thought that there might be some users that have it on cd. Don't Onkyo use to send firmware upgrades by cd to their costumers? If so couldn't someone please make an image of it and upload somewhere?
Must be somebody out there who can help.

About the region free setting, I don't know how to do it, but instead had it done by an Onkyo dealer.
He did use a special remote(read somewhere it was a service remote)
The procedure was something like what you have descriped, but I can't tell if it's precisely like that. Don't know either if the remotes you mention are the right ones. You could ask your contact about procedure and remotes as well.

By the way, what if the firmware in your player and do you have any problems playing dvd+r and dvd-r?

Thanks

Are there really no one in this huge community who can or wants to help? :confused:

I don't believe Onkyo sends the FW discs to all registered owners, they only ship it if you ask. I would just keep bugging customer support until they succumb. :) One of the "prices" you pay when you buy used gear - you can't make your dealer do all the work. :) I'm amazed at how "cheap" these players are now on the used market. They are built like a tank, have great analog sections, and can hold their own with audio against players costing more (MSRP).

Hi,
I have just asked my contact in Onkyo and will report back as soon as I get an answer.
Regards,
Svein

Hi Svein:
Thank you very much for your help. :)
I've now also tried to contact a Onkyo supporter directly on email(he had previuosly helped me with another issue), but no response there as well.
I think you are my only hope Svein as my local Onkyo dealer doesn't seem to be able to find a solution either.

By the way, have you tested if your player is capable of reading burned dvd+r and dvd-r?

If you want to check the firmware this is the procedure:
1) Turn on the dvd. There must not be any disc in the player.
2) On the front plate, press the "Display" and then the "Video Circuit OFF" button and the release. The display will now show "SYS.XXXXX"
3) Press "Display" again. The display will now show the firmware: SYS.R. 1.XX

Best regards

Duc

I haven't tested the player yet, so I don't know. I just bought it on eBay and had it sent to an US adress I use for items bought in North America. I live in Norway and the player is in Hamden, CT, but I will pick it up there next week and start it up and check which version it has. I have been in contact with OnkyoUS concerning firmware and they have given me an address near by Hamden (in Litchfield) and I am now waiting for their reply.
Regards,
Svein

...on the firmware update procedure?

I also have a sp1000 that I would like to install the latest firmware on.
With all the praise being sung around here for this player a couple years back, I would have thought surely more than two people would have something to say about this.

-Luc

Hi again,
I just received the new firmware from a very helpful Onkyo Service Center. It is a zipped file of 15 mb and a pdf instruction. Please mail me on sringstad@gmail.com and I will send it to you. Another source in the Onkyo system has confirmed that the player is made regionfree with this procedure:

Using Onkyo remote RC-498DV or RC 484M:

Power on. No disc
Press "DV" & "1", release both at the same time
Press "return"
Press "setup" quickly

Svein

Thanks for making this happen Svein! :)

-Luc

Thanks. And, AVS doesn't recommend putting email addresses in posts. PMs are more "private". I'll leave it there, it's your inbox. :)

larry

Hi Svein:
It's great to hear that you already got the firmware.
I've sent you a mail regarding the firmware. 15 mb might be too much to send via email, so If you could upload to a free file server it would be best for all parts.

Again you have been a great help for me and probably many others as well.

Regards

Duc

Hi,
Yes, I know. I take the risk. I don't think Al-Qaida has Onkyo! :-)

Well, I don't put spammers and such in the same category but some may. :)

Downloaded and burned to cd, will install tomorrow.

It looks pretty easy to make the sp1000 region free.
I'm just curious if there is any downside to being region free?
I'm in the states and all my dvd's are region 1,
would it be best just leave it that way?


Thanks,

-Luc

I had my first dv-sp1000 made region free at an Onkyo dealer.
Apart from making it capable of playing all region dvds, I don't think there is any downside.

By the way, can anyone recommend a way of cleaning the laser.
Is it recommended to use the special cleaning disc(I've heard different opinions of that) or it is difficult to open up the player and clean the laser with alcohol or some kind of detergent?

Thanks dcx.

Good question, as I'm also just acquiring this beauty, I want to do what ever is necessary/recommended to insure it's in top condition.

I have several toshiba sd-9200 dvd players (tosh's top of the line for the time) and I had to open them up to replace bushings in the transport.
The laser was easy to get to. So I would imagine this could be reached in the onkyo as well.

-Luc

The region free change is just software/firmware in the transport. Probably 8bits get changed from a 1 to 0.

larry

Woo, so today just after receiving the firmware from Svein, I finally got my answer from Onkyo regarding the firmware:

"I apologize for the email delay. We are sorry for the inconvenience but there's no firmware upgrade available for the DV-SP1000." :D

Upgrade from which version? When the SP-1000 and DPS-10.5 were released I was the person who reported to them that they screwed up the video levels going from HDMI->DVI - they converted to PC RGB. They eventually sent out a firmware upgrade to fix it.

larry

whoops

If thats all that is changed....and it has no "downside".....why aren't all players just made region free?
I mean why did they start having regions in the first place?
Why not just one big video world?

When I mailed them, I told them that my firmware version was only 1.10 and that I wanted to update it. But what I quoted, was their only answer to me.
I know from Svein as well that Onkyo does give some confusing answers.
For some reason they also thinks that the US version DV-SP1000 might not be capable of playing PAL dvd discs, which is just not true.

I think 1.10 was the original FW. The first update was 1.20, again, IIRC. There is a big SP-1000 thread which may be in the archives. It's all there.

I was lucky when I called Onkyo support because the person I talked to was very knowledgeable and actually went and reproduced the PC RGB issue while I was on the phone. If it wasn't for that issue I would probably still have the DPS-10.5. At that time it was unclear if they would fix the problem. The FW update did take a few months or more.

larry

Did Onkyo ever fix the much dreaded lipsynch issue with the 1000? I remember that affected alot of players and wondered if that had ever been successfully addressed.

Good question. I seems there's been FW updates since the first update given the version numbers. However, not everybody experienced the problem which may indicate the issue would not be easy to diagnose and fix.

Svein and dxc-

I'm having trouble updating my player.
I downloaded the firmware and burned it first to a cdr and then a dvd-r.
I did this because the display would not show "stop" with a cdr inside,
only the track and time. With the dvd-r it did display "stop", so I was able to begin the update process.
I followed the instructions to the letter, but each time after I press display for the final time, which should start the updating process, it just says
"please insert FRM data disc" Which is already inserted.
Any suggestions?

-Luc

Hi Luc:
Well, one of my players were succesfully updated.
I haven't updated the other as it works with no problem.
I just used a normal cdr, burned with Nero as a CD-ROM ISO.
Both players were able to read the CD.
Maybe you could try a slower burning speed with the cdr?

I took a working dvd player, and tried to "new and improve" it,
and now it doesn't work at all.
The unit accepted the firmware disc, and now goes back and forth between, "system up!" and "system ready!" for hours, but never completes anything.
The only way to stop it is to unplug it. When I plug it back in it says
"firmware error, checking firmware, please insert firmware disc". Which I do and the whole process starts over again.
I looked inside, but didn't see a back up battery, thinking if I disconnected the battery the unit might reset itself.

Any suggestions?

-Luc

Thanks for the link!

has anyone gotten access to the laser assembly for the onkyo dv-sp1000 or Integra DPS-10.5.?

Mine (integra) has recently starting locking up randomly on dvd's .Would a laser disc cleaner work/ shot of compressed air??

Well, wanted to try to clean the laser today on a DV-SP1000.
But after opening the top plate, we had to remove 2 prints with small wires and connectors before even being able to get access to the drive and laser unit.
We just thought it was better to let it be and have a professional do it.
I do think a cleaning of the laser would help with the reading problems. Or at least I hope so.

I agree. I opened up my unit to see if there was a battery for keeping the program, in hopes of resetting my unit back to where it was before I "fixed" it.
This unit is unbelievably complex, in comparison to my Toshiba sd-9200.
It's going to the repair shop.

-Luc

well after 3 hours i finally managed to access the laser drive !!

one things for certain ; this player was not assembled by robots !!

laser looked fine but i gave it a wipe with isopropyl alchohol

i noticed that pressing and "HOLD" of the reset button [stop button]really must be done for at least 40seconds for the re-set to work.

These onkyo / integra players have TWO silicon image de-interlacing chips (on the right hand side boards) plus an O-PLUS scaling chip

i presume the fujitsu chip on the top board is the MPEG2 decoder?

in hindsight after hours of troubleshooting i think I know what was causing my player to freeze: my refrigerator (and hence compressor!) was plugged in to the same circuit as my AV gear.The manual states that the microprocessor can be affected by other equipment and when the compressor kicks in that causes mini- surges.

Fridge has been moved to another circuit and everything works fine (I hope)

These onkyo / integra players have TWO silicon image de-interlacing chips (on the right hand side boards) plus an O-PLUS scaling chip Interesting! Same chip (SI504)? One for analog output and one for digital, I'm guessing.


i presume the fujitsu chip on the top board is the MPEG2 decoder? Yes. A Fujitsu MPEG decoder is not uncommon.

I have a DPS-10.5 with A/V sync problem and possible reading disc problem (so far one disc had a servere problem with this player) and it has F/W 1.10. Is the SP1000 firware used on the DPS-10.5 or is there a different one used for the Integra?

I haven't received any response from integra with a couple of emails over the past three weeks. I'm not use to this level of service........

i read here that the intermittent loss of AV synch has something to do with either faulty silicon image de-interlacing chips (?or the way they were implemented)

on my unit i can get rid of the problem by running video out as interlaced (and using an outboard video processor or letting the TV do the de-interlacing)

It was a well known problem on an otherwise excellent DVD player

Don't know if the Onkyo sp1000 and the integra use same firmware , as they are almost identical players, but your not alone in discovering the joys of onkyo customer service :o

Hey William, what firmware do you have on your 10.5, and did you update yours?

i never updated it , I can't remember how to work out what FW i have -


i might have to dig thru the archives

Ive now played at least 8 movies since I pulled this behemoth apart and have had no lockups

If you want to check the firmware this is the procedure:
1) Turn on the dvd. There must not be any disc in the player.
2) On the front plate, press the "Display" and then the "Video Circuit OFF" button and the release. The display will now show "SYS.XXXXX"
3) Press "Display" again. The display will now show the firmware: SYS.R. 1.XX

Ive now played at least 8 movies since I pulled this behemoth apart and have had no lockups

But do you believe it's because you have cleaned the laser or because you moved it to another electrical curcuit?

i changed three variables so now I'll never know....

the laser looked pristine when i cleaned it ;

according to the Dps 10 .5 manual (probably same for the Onkyo)


"The DPS 10 .5 contains a microprocessor for signal processing and control functions. in very rare situations , severe interference , noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lock up. In the unlikely event that this should happen , unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5 seconds , and then plug it back again. Alternatively , press and hold the STOP button until "Reset" appears on the display (about 10 seconds)" [sic]

I tried that several times and it didn't help with my sporadic lockups- but i noticed when i had the top removed and held the stop button at about the 40 second mark these little led lights inside the player turned on and off and I think thats when the reset occured. After that the player was as new.

thanks dude

my integra says SYS R 1.21

Well I finally called Integra because they won't answer my emails and talked to Bob. It only took 7 min. on hold to get through, very nice. I asked Bob if there was a fix for the A/V sync problem I'm having with my DPS-10.5, and he said he never heard of that problem before......... He also said he can't find any firmware updates for that unit. Mine has F/W 1.10. He took my phone number and said he will get back with me in a day or so. Will see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quick method for calculating precise time Onkyo/Integra support will actually get back to you....

hope u get the new firmware

Ok, thanks. So to reset the player, you just held the stop button(stop button on the remote or on the player?) for about 40 sec. Did "Reset" then appear on the display?

if you take the top steel panel off the player, its easier to see when the internal LED lights have stopped flashing- it happened at around 40 seconds for me. I used the stop button on the player. The word RESET comes on at around the 10 second mark, and on my unit , I just held my finger on the STOP button all the time and the word reset doesn't dissapear

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, I think I read a very bad review of the DPS 10.5 on audioreview by you. Are you still of that opinion? I think you described it as performing as well as your $150 Sony dvd player :p .
Was it just not configured right or what, as I can see your have kept the player for some years now?
Oh, and if you are still unsatisfied and would consider selling it, please tell me :D

years ago I bought it because of the hype about its state-of-the art video performance. Yeah sure its a little bit better than the cheap players in that regard , but the edge is so miniscule , i didn't think it justified $5000 aussie dollars for a dvd player

Onkyo Integra's marketing department made it sound like the second coming:rolleyes: I wasn't impressed with the fact that so many people here on this forum were experiencing lip synch problems and even less impressed by Onkyo's response. Its pretty disgraceful given the price point.

same thing with toshiba's first generation HD-DVD players: when they worked they were sublime but heaven help you if you were one of the 30% of people who had to endure video stuttering or freezing. Its why I defected to blu ray (and probably many others)

But i guess at the time, given that the Onkyo/Integra had excellent audio capabilities (and now that i can attest to the build quality) $5k could be considered reasonable. Its a player that should last for many years.

DVD players and TV's have become like computers in a way- why fork out $thousands for a flagship player when it will soon be made redundant by a player costing a fraction of the cost

eg any player with a silicon optix processor will outperform the Onkyo on the video side

But the search for video nirvana is never-ending! I recently bought the 1080o KURO plasma , touted to be the best flat panel in the world. Which it is . But it still can't reproduce true blacks

Ah well, at least the Onkyo/Integra's have become excellent value for money now on the second hand market. As a dvd-Audio, SACD and DVD player they're hard to beat

Well I finally called Integra because they won't answer my emails and talked to Bob. It only took 7 min. on hold to get through, very nice. I asked Bob if there was a fix for the A/V sync problem I'm having with my DPS-10.5, and he said he never heard of that problem before.........

You may have to hit the archive, the but I think the DPS-10.5 debuted with 1.10. I want to say the FW that fixed the PC RGB problem when connected to DVI display was fixed in the first FW upgrade 1.20.

larry

Well now I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called Integra back to see if they were thinking of me. Bob apologized for not getting back with me as he had been sick. The engineer department did not get back with him either on my 10.5 A/V sync problem. So he said he would call me back within the hour to let me know what they found. The engineer department hooked a new one up to a receiver and could not reproduce the A/V sync problem. Case closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or that's the sense I was feeling. There is no firmware upgrade for the Integra DPS 10.5 either. I told him all I want is to know if this thing can be fixed or not. He will get back to me on that. I don't think I will be hearing from Bob again. Does anyone have a Integra CD or DVD firmware upgrade for the DPS 10.5? I would be interested in purchasing a copy of firmware 1.23 or 1.24 if there is one available. From the threads I've been checking out here at AVS Forum this has been going on for 3.5 years and I don't think anyone has had one of these things fixed yet. Onkyo's service is the worst I have encountered in my 25 years of Audio and Video hobby.

I would like to make my player region free. However, the remote that comes with the unit is RC-563DV. This does not have a button labeled "DV." Do you know a hack for the standard remote?

What is the latest FW version? Mine says 1.23, but also says software 1.22A on the monitor.

Thanks, Jeff

the firmware Svein posted works for US units, right? (Don't want to brick it!)

Btw, internally it's labelled 1.22A.

The unit I just hooked up (new) has a firmware of 1.24. I know it has been discontinued but the SP1000 is one nice player! :eek:

Also when checking the firmware it reads 1.22A just like the firmware reads in the link.

And I hate to say it but after owning most of the blu-ray players released and HD DVD players I still will have to say the SP 1000 is superior in both Audio and Video! :eek:

According to Onkyo 1.24 is the final firmware for the 1000...

According to Onkyo 1.24 is the final firmware for the 1000...

The CD they sent me a while back had v 1.24 printed on its face, but internally the software was identified as 1.22A. My correspondent said it was final.

I compared it to the firmware posted above: all files identical.

Don't know what it changed besides the splash screen: mine now says Integra, rather than Onkyo.

Even with a Samsung BD-UP5000 in the same rack, we use the DV-SP1000 for audio and SD DVDs.

What is the change after firmware, will have a better picture or sound ?

I have no idea, other than that the splash screen now says Integra. The person at Onkyo who sent it didn't know either. Setup looks the same. The previous installed version was 1.20; judging by the version number (1.24), the difference must not be large.

I had hoped that it would make the DV-SP1000 play nice(r) with the TX-NR905. (HDMI has dropouts when passing audio only--without video, e.g., playing CD.)

For CD/SACD/DVD-A audio listening you should be using analog out. However, a lot depends on the rest of the system. The SP-1000 outputs superb audio. The player is a "sleeper" that many people missed in the audio world, especially for what you can get one now on the used market.

Hi Guys,
quick question. I just purchased a DV-SP1000 to listen to SACD's and to use as a back up DVD player to my Sharp Blue Ray. I will be hooking this up to my TX-NR905. From the experience's of everyone here, what is the best hookup? Is it HDMI? Please let me know. I would prefer to hook it up once without a lot of fuss. Thanks for your help.

For SACD you can use use either the multi-channel analog or i.Link (Firewire) output, but the TX-NR905 has no i.Link input. Unfortunately, the HDMI 1.0 port cannot handle SACD. Fortunately, the DV-SP1000 has a very good analog stage. See pages 28, 33 and 75 of the manual for audio-output details.

You're welcome.

Just purchased a DV-SP1000 new on Ebay to suppliment my PS3 and A3 players. I wanted a universal player with excellent audio and picked this over the Pioneer DV-58AI.

Noticed the lip sync issue on HDMI and the HDMI drop out using CD just flipped to analog. It is a pain but this is still one sweet player.

I have a dedicated theater in my basement running Aerial 7's on the front powered by a classic Classe DR9. The other 5 channels are powered by my trusty Rotel 1075. My brother in law came over this weekend to burn this DVD player in and it sounded very good I mean sweet. I have all 7.1 analong cables connected and the two channel connections to the CD inputs and ove course the HDMI is hooked up. What a snake pit and that's just for one player. Everything else is just hooked up using HDMI.

I'm able to use my PS3 as a picture browser and then listen to CD's using the SP1000 at the same time with this setup.

My Epson 1080UB projector also loved this thing. Running diagonally 133 thru my Onkyo 885P produced a very smooth picture and I think bested my A3 on regular DVD's.

Love the build quality.

If you don't mind, what did you pay for the SP1000? If it wasn't for the lip sync issue some people experience, this player would have been one of the premier players until the ABT and Silicon Optix based players came out. And then we're starting to split hairs and the SP1000 is probably equal or better in audio.

I have the Onkyo SP1000 hooked to my Yamaha RX-Z9 via a 2m Monster IEEE G cable (their top,silver plated cable )and I love it!
Fast,clear and transparent sound.

There's one born every minute.

You all with CD HDMI drop outs have to set CD to DTS in setup and NO more drop outs.
I had same issue until I saw and read that detail in an advisement from Onkyo,and low behold it cured the CD HDMI audio skipping or drop outs.
Hope the same for anyone else.

I had same issue until I saw and read that detail in an advisement from Onkyo,and low behold it cured the CD HDMI audio skipping or drop outs.
Hope the same for anyone else.

I can confirm this. CDs are still transmitted as PCM.

In order to access the CD Audio Setup menu item (bottom of Audio menu), you first have to set the DTS Out item to PCM (DTS->PCM) on the Digital Out/Digital 1 or 2 menu item (top of Audio Menu). See p. 80 of the manual.

Duggy, can you point us to that advisement from Onkyo?
