I've been looking for a firmware update for my Pioneer DV-563A for a while, can anyone help me out with a copy? What version do you have after the update? Thanks.

I had problems playing a few disks way back when I first got my player, about 4 or 5 (?) years ago. I got the firmware updated by physically carrying my player into one of the local service centers.
Was there just the one update, or are there "recent" disks that are problematic that would be "cured" by a recent FW release? I'm curious whether I should check particular disks, since I still use it and haven't noticed any issues with anything I've thrown at it since that one update.

I don't if that is the latest but the one I have is close to the same size. PM me and I'll send it to you.

Now the video has gone wacky. There is an image but it is distorted and it scrolls like on the old tv's when the V Hold was out of adjustment.
Does anyone know of a quick fix for something like this? I don't care about the player for movies but being able to view the set up menu would be nice since I have a new sub and would like to calibrate it correctly for use with SACD and DVD-A.
Thanks.
