Page 1 of SC2000 firmware upgrade anyone?

Can anybody shed any light on where I can get the latest SC2000 firmware upgrade from, and details of what exactly it fixes? Oh and how can I find out what my current firmware version is?

Does it improve the picture quality at all? I watched The Beach the other night and the quality of the blacks was terrible. I`m beginning to think maybe I should have got the Samsung 511 as the picture quality is no doubt superior and I`ve found that the mp3 playback and multiregion capability aren`t as important as I thought.

Ho hum, we live and learn (when I`m rich I`ll buy a Sony!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Gray

Hi Gray,

To get the firmware version on your player using the remote press

POWER ON - OPEN - SETUP - STOP - STEP – MENU

Then you get a blue screen.

MAIN VER tells you firmware version. 164 and above can be upgraded (bought after October 26th). Latest version is 204s.

I`ve found the picture quality is better with v192 or above on my machine.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gray,

Haven`t watched The Beach but my picture quality looks ok - the firmware upgrade will allow you to get around Macrovision

E mail me on yellen[at]ku.oc.nacs and i will send you the "vcr freindly"
version.
