Very Fresh Firmware List for Panasonic! (RP91 and XP unit discoveries!!) - Page 3

post #61 of 1154
I just updated my RP-62 player and it went flawlessly! I was supopsed to be the first one to try it but apparently nchronis beat me to that!

Firmware revision is now 076 (was 056). Thank you Sango for this nice finding.

Hi:

I have to give my biggest thanks to Sango - both for sharing the upgrade with us and for spending such a long time helping me download and install it into my XP30. Way above and beyond the call man. The color rendering of the 302 version is better than what I had with version 290. I haven't had time to do an audio test to see if that improved as well, but I will try it again after work to see if there are differences.

Again my thanks, well worth it for me

Hi All,

Sango was kind enough to send me the RP82V302. RAR file with 51,910 KB . I copied it to a CD as data and then inserted in my DVD 1600. I get a message on my TV .."This type of disc canot be played" and the player displays a message 'NO PLAY". I suspect that the file must be copied as a video file or music file to the CD. Anyone have any ideas.

All the best,

Gary

The .rar file is compressed. You have to unzip it and then burn the contents. Sango suggested Blindwrite to burn it. I used it and it worked great.

I used sango firmware, on 1600, went smoothly..

Any clue how I can unzip this file? I'm not understanding how to use Blindwrite to unzip the file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

You need WinRar to extract the rar files.

Use Blindwrite v4.57 to burn the image.
- use writing method DAO Pw (best writing method)

Hi:

Shark73 - use winrar to unzip it. then use blindwrite to burn it. When it is unzipped the files are coded as blindwrite files - at least they were for me. Then you open blindwrite search the directory where you unzipped to and it will detect the files. Note - it will only show 1 of the 3 files that you unzipped but as long as all 3 files are in the same directory selecting only the 1 file is fine. Then burn.

Thanks

Thank you to Sango for his great work on this update and to the rest of you for helping me extract the file and burn the disc.

Man, it is ALIVE!! my 1600, uhhhh!! Better or same!! I have to check with same dvds, i watched before!
post #78 of 1154
I too would like to thank Sango for his patience and generosity in helping
everyone who has been following this thread.

I just got home and installed the firmware upgrade into our Denon 1600.
I guess it changes the region in the process.

How do I get it back to region 1 again.

I would also like to thank Sango for all the time he spent today sending me the file and helping me burn it. I upgraded my RP56 from 45 to 62.

Just a note when burning: I first tried it at 1X burn speed and it said completed successfully but my RP56 would not read it; it worked OK @ 4X.
It turns out the disc I did @ 1X is still blank although blindwrite said it was successful.

Anyone know what was fixed/improved on the RP56?
post #82 of 1154
Many thanks to Sango and JuiceRocket(AIM download).... gave Sango a break.

Worked like a charm on my 30 and did not need to reset. Will do some evaluating tonight and tomorrow and will give my RP91 a whirl tomorrow too.
post #83 of 1154
looking forward to mimason, re ur 91
post #84 of 1154
So do you think a person with rp91 would need this update. I read one of the comments and someone said not much going on here. What do you think?

I believe your post is referring to Sam. There is some difference but I guess it depends what he's watching.

Best way I can tell is watching an anime which is made in GG. Yes Last Exile is one of them! =)

Yep, that was me Although I look critically, the improvements may be more noticible with certain program material. The setting of Auto3 for deinterlacing mode is definitely my favorite now. Possibly V262 improves upon this. If there's any other "trouble" DVDs that RP91 owners have they would like me to comment on, please let me know.
post #87 of 1154
thnx sam, i was refering to auto 3 too
post #88 of 1154
Well, the RP91 still doesn't do so hot with pure video-based sources, but that's why I have an XP50. I'm more concerned with how it handles bad edits.

Edited started thread.

It looks like CP72 also shares the same firmware as the RP/XP series after a user checked after their upgrade!
post #90 of 1154
I watched a few scenes of Jurassic Park and Star Wars - Episode I prior to and after applying the v302 firmware to my RP82. The color now seems a bit more vibrant and I noticed more details. Based on this, I give the firmware a thumbs up. Thanks again, Sango!
