Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Instructions

Warning: Choose DIY only if you are highly skilled at performing DVD player firmware upgrade. If you choose this option, OPPO is not liable for any potential equipment damage which may result from improper field firmware upgrade. Otherwise, you can contact OPPO at service@oppodigital.com or OPPO authorized resellers to send the player back for the upgrade.

DIY Instructions

(Follow the instructions EXACTLY; Don't press the "Open/Close" key until the player reboots itself. The entire process takes between 2-3 minutes. Stay focused and be patient during this process.)  

Make sure the AC connection is secured; use an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) from your PC if necessary (in areas where AC is not stable). Do not cycle power on the OPDV971H DVD player during the update process.

• Download the firmware from http://www.oppodigital.com/Download/Firmware0628.iso.
• Burn a CD from the downloaded ISO image file. Be sure to burn the CD as an ISO image file, not a data file. The CD should contain a 935.bin file if you burned successfully.
• Turn on your TV display and the OPPO player.
• Open the player tray and insert the CD, and then close the tray.
• As soon as the CD is loaded, you will see"Press Play To Start" on your TV/Display. Press the PLAY key on the remote or the player once.
• The TV display shows "File Copying" and then "UPGRADING"
• In about 8 seconds, the CD will be ejected.  Remove the CD quickly; DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE. What follows is the process when the player will reboot itself.
• DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS; NOR ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE TRAY; NOR UNPLUG THE POWER DURING THE REMAINING UPGRADE PROCESS.
• After approximately 1 - 2 minutes, the player reboots itself and closes the tray automatically to complete the process.
• Congratulations! You have just completed the firmware upgrade.
