OPDV971H Firmware Upgrade Q&As: Q : How do I find out the firmware version of the OPDV971H DVD player?
A : Do the following to find out the firmware version:
• Eject the tray
• Press the "OSD" button on the remote control
• A menu will pop up to show the firmware version of the OPPO player. If you don't see the firmware version, this means that you have an older firmware version installed.
Q: Are OPPO firmware releases accumulative of the fixes and added features to date?
A: Yes. As a result, you only need to install the latest firmware to get all the fixes and added features. We also keep some previous major firmware releases on this page for archiving.
Q: Why does my newly purchased OPDV971H unit come with a firmware version older than the one on your web site?
A: Because of the time it requires to manufacture, distribute, stock and retail the product, a new firmware release may become available while your unit is in the distribution process. In this case you may either contact OPPO or your OPPO authorized reseller to request a firmware upgrade, or perform the "Do It Yourself (D-I-Y)" upgrade using the firmware file downloaded from our web site.
Q: Does my OPDV971H need a firmware upgrade?
A: Firmware upgrades are totally optional. If you are happy with the performance of the OPPO player, you do not have to upgrade. OPPO strongly recommends that you base your purchase decision on the current specifications, features and functions, but not on any future or potentially available upgrades.
In general, OPPO recommends that you upgrade to a firmware if the release is called a "Major Release", since it incorporates important features and fixes. All OPDV971H players shipped on or after September 22, 2006 come with the latest firmware version (Batch 10-0821B, 11-0830B or 11-0830) thus do not need the firmware upgrade.
Q : What implementation options do I have to upgrade to the new firmware?
A : We offer you two options:
- Contact OPPO or the OPPO authorized reseller from which you purchased your unit for an authorized firmware upgrade. This process will require the DVD unit to be sent to OPPO or an authorized OPPO reseller for firmware upgrade. Due to the technical nature of the operation, we highly recommend that utilize this option. However, the customer will be responsible for shipping cost, and resellers may charge a nominal service fee.
- Do it yourself (D-I-Y). If you choose this option, OPPO, or your OPPO authorized reseller, are not liable for potential equipment damage which may result from improper field firmware upgrade. Make sure you follow all the firmware upgrade instructions carefully and perform the upgrade with a very reliable AC power source.
Q: I do not have access to burn CDs but I want to DIY. What should I do?
A: Contact service@oppodigital.com and we will mail you the firmware CD to upgrade.
Q: Why did I get "Unknown Disc" error message when upgrading the firmware?
A: It happens when the CD was not burned correctly. After you download the firmware file from the OPPO Web site, you'd need to burn it as an image file, not as a data file, onto the CD.
Q: I do not have the right software to burn the CD. How do I get free-trial CD-Burning software to burn the CD?
A: Here is a link for the free-trial software that you can use to burn the CD from the .iso file.
http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?qt=ultraiso&tg=dl-2001.
Download the free trial version.
After you install the software, do the following:
1. Click on "Tools".
2. Choose "Burn cd/dvd image"
3. Choose saved image from local drive
4. Click burn.
5. Verify if the burned CD has 935.bin file.
Q: How do I use Roxio Easy CD Creator to burn the CD?
A: Follow these steps:
- Download the Firmware image files from the OPPO web site and save them to a known location on your computer
- Open Roxio Easy CD Creator
- Click "File", and then click "Record CD from CD Image"
- Open the downloaded firmware image file
- Click Burn to burn a CD
