Page 1 of What is software download?

I hear that you need a software download for some players. Where can you download this software from and how do i dowload it Cheers

I suspect you are refering to firmware updates. This is the software stored on a chip in the DVD player that controls various aspects of the player`s functions. Manufacturers often update this firmware when they become aware of bugs. It is possible on some DVD players to update this by writing the firmware on a CD-R. Others require new firmware chips. You really only need to worry about this if the player has problems playing some discs.

A bit of further info here:
Pioneer players tend to be updated via download of new frmware via their service adaptor. If you are looking for the software to do that then be prepared to pay for it (£200 or so for the Dos version, a bit more for the Windows).

It was also posibble to change the firmware on Toshiba x107 players using a service adaptor and some software on the Web.

can you list some sites which gives some info on updating firmware for dvd players in general?

Hi
We list software downloads by email
