Very Fresh Firmware List for Panasonic! (RP91 and XP unit discoveries!!) - Page 31

Thank you!

HI
I am new to this forum. I copied a DVD movie using my Pioneer DVD-R burner. My Panasonic RV-32 didn't play it. THus I searched online about the problem and found the firmware update link. I updated the DVD player, but still it will not play the DVD-R movie I created. I thought the update will allow me to play DVD-R discs. Perhaps I was wrong. Could someone shed some light?

Thanks

Thank you Sango and Mike. Downloaded the file from Mike's ftp site, and followed the procedure outlined by Sango to upgrade my rp-56 firmware. Everything was a breeze!

Hi Atomic Flip,

I do still have my copy of the 94.3MB file, but I don't know how I can send it to you. Problem is: I don't have a host.

Did you not use "bitsetting" on your DVD burner to set the DVD to DVD-ROM type?

OK Guys!

BIG THANKS to SANGO!!!

I have successfully upgraded my Denon from 054 to 068 and I must say the image improvement is very noticeable. Colors seem more saturated. Deeper blacks aswell. I am not sure how they managed to do it but it is indeed improved.

I do have the 94 meg file now. If someone is in need of it still lets see if we can find a place to host it for a while.

Mike Parent,

How about your FTP?

Thanks again Sango!

Atomic Flip:

I've been trying to make sure I've got the correct file for updating my Denon 1600 from 054 to 068. I even went so far as to buy the firmware update disk from JVB Digital - and it didn't work - still at 054.

So...it seems like you've been successful. Have you had any luck getting a host for the file?

The largest file on the DVD burned by Blindwrite 4.5.7.92 from a compressed RAR file (rp82v302) is ~59 meg. In your post you mentioned the "full 94 meg file"; is this the size of one of the files on the burned DVD?

If you could post the list of files on the final DVD I would certainly appreciate it - I really don't want to trash my SDI-modded 1600 by trying to update with the wrong firmware.

Thanks.

I mis-spoke - it's a CD, not a DVD.

So the bottom line is: does anyone have the file?

Thanks,
Russ

Sorry but that would be pushing it, it is a hosted server and space is not unlimited.

Hi Lite Up

I didn't do any bitsetting at all. A friend actually suggested that I used a different brand of DVD rom and a different burning Software. I was using CompUSA dvd and burning with Roxio. I switched to TDK Dvd and used Nero and it worked. So I am not sure if the combination of the burning software and the DVD make the difference.

I sure would like a copy of the file for my Denon 1600 also. I donated and sent an email but I have had no response. Is there any other way to get the update? I have firmware version 025 on my Denon.

Russel Johns,

I am not sure if you can update a "modded" 1600 with this disk. You might want to check that out with some other people on here before attempting it.

The list of files are as follows. . .

H:\\DVDPUPDT.FRM - 32.03 MB
H:\\MEI_DVDP\\MDP010_1.FRM - 58.00 MB
H:\\MEI_DVDP\\MDP010_1.PGC - 0.04 KB
H:\\VIDEO_TS\\VIDEO_TS.BUP - 16.00 KB
H:\\VIDEO_TS\\VIDEO_TS.IFO - 16.00 KB
H:\\VIDEO_TS\\VIDEO_TS.VOB - 3.50 MB
H:\\VIDEO_TS\\VTS_01_0.BUP - 12.00 KB
H:\\VIDEO_TS\\VTS_01_0.IFO - 12.00 KB
H:\\VIDEO_TS\\VTS_01_1.VOB - 234.00 KB

Total Size Approximately - 99 MB

Hope this helps. . .

I've tried upgrading my rp-91's firmware using the latest file (80 MB rar, 144 MB nrg), but when I put the disk in the player I get a message that "The player is not applicable to the up-date. Please eject the disk." I burned the CD using Nero 5, and it looks like a good burn according to the images on the firmware site.

My current firmware version is 208 - this is what was installed at the factory. Any idea why the upgrade isn't working for me? Is my current version too old?

Hello Sango,

I ve a panasonic european version of the RP91 which is RA71;
I am looking for making it region free and upgrade it to a new firmware.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Bruno

Sango, Any news on the 97S firmware updates. I hope something will be coming soon to fix the Macroblocking problem.

thanks sango,

What is the way to obtain this disc to try it on my RA71?

thanks

Bruno

I have an unmodded Denon DVD-1600 that I would also like to update. I am currently at 054. I'm using a Mac OS X system, so I need an ISO image version of the update.

Kevin T: I would be happy to donate to your site if I could get the older version that does my player.

Thanks.

Hi Sango,

I'm in a fix now. I didn't upgrade my firmware. But somehow I had to reset my RP82 due to some disc problem. I didn't realise it until much later that my player is no longer multi-region. By pressing pause, eject and 7, it shows 3PN (used to be 1PN).

I'm surprised that the multiregion is gone, isn't it hardware related and un-erasable? If it's software related, is there any way of getting it back (similar to firmware update)?

Generally an static RAM setting. As far as I know the only way to set/reset it would be with the service discs.

BTW all firmware upgrades reset the region settings just like the other setting to the default values.

Sango, thanks for the link to older firmware versions. I did successfully upgrade to 236, then to 259, but I still get the same error when trying to go to 262.

It's something of a moot point, however, since the only reason I was trying a firmware upgrade was because my player suddenly stopped playing my dvd's (still plays audio cd's fine). It reads the first few seconds, sometimes displays the first frame or two of the first track, and then slows down and eventually locks up (no error codes). I took it to a repair shop I trust (not an authorized Panasonic shop unfortunately) and the technician said it did play older dvd's but had trouble with newer ones. He talked to a panasonic rep who suggested a firmware upgrade, but I still have the same problem now.

Since it plays older dvd's, it doesn't sound like the laser is the problem. I'm guessing a hardware problem with the mainboard. Doh!

Any other suggestions before I look on the bright side and pick up a 59avi?

Sango, you know what part (part number?) contains the configuration settings? Generally firmware code is kept in a flash part and configuration settings on another part. I've never looked at the parts inside these players, I'd like to hope I could read a part and modify it. =)

If anyone knows... what part contains the settings? And maybe have the skills to figure out what location is affected by changing the region setting?

just occured to me that these settings could also be all the other internal values displayed in diagnostic mode...
