Thanx again, Haggis.

Could you explain what this new firm does? Or is it just a review of 7.03?

Thanx a lot...

..and it just updates and fixes a few minor things I guess. Nothing major. Just for those people who like the latest, um... things! :)

Will it work on a 756? I have a problem with anamorphic switching on R1 discs maybe this may fix it.

the firmware handles SVCD....and also improves handling of discs with branching technology.......

I always look to upgrade firmware...on whatever i have......If you look at it this way -

There must be a good reason to release the firmware.....

When i get an answer from Philips...I`ll tell you exactly what the changes are.....

See YAH!.....

I wrote to philips web site asking if there was an upgrede to my firmware. They wrote back saying that I already have the latest firmware on my machine. Is this because the firmware is for another model and not for the 711 or are they just being unhelpful. It was the uk philips site that wrote back to me.

Any idea?

Thanks

The firmware is 7.03. Since our mis-understanding for which I have rightly apologised and sincerely hope that it`s all over with now, I thought that I should try and get the upgrade myself. I thought that if the player is still under guarantee (it`s only 5 weeks old), then they should send it to me anyway. They just wrote back saying that I have the latest firmware. I didn`t believe them. My firmware in full is :-
7.03 000320P2 4.3.13. Has anyone got it from philips and if so how .

Thanks

The new 7.12 firmware is direct from the horses mouth (i.e. Eindhoven...home of Philips!)...obviously their customer service is better than their UK cousins.....

by the way....anyone read DVD Review magazine?.......my Magic hack has been published.......

hmmmm......always thought my 15 mins of fame would involve drugs and murder.....aw well......
