1. Player software
The DVD player must have software version 1.74 or above in order to support progressive scan. Check
the player software version which is displayed on the TV screen momentarily after power up. There are
2 numbers displayed one above the other. The software version is shown at the top. Ignore the other
number. If the version is 1.74 or above then you do not need to update the software, so ignore the rest
of this section. If it is below 1.74 then use the supplied software update disc to update the software.
There are actually 2 discs provided - one for the player software and one for the drive firmware. Only
the player software needs to be updated to support progressive scan, but you might as well update the
drive firmware while you are at it.
Updating drive firmware
Follow this procedure exactly:
1.Turn the power on.
2.Wait for the 'no disc' message to appear on the display.
3.Press the LOAD button to open the tray.
4.Put the DVS firmware CD in the tray.
5.Press the LOAD button to close the tray. The firmware will now load from the CD into RAM. This
takes about 30 seconds.
6.Wait until the tray opens. When it does, take the CD out of the tray. The flash memory will now be
erased and the new firmware will be loaded from RAM into the flash ROM. This will take a further 30
seconds approximately.
7.Wait until the tray closes. This signals that the flash update is complete.
8.Switch the power off for 5 seconds and then on again to reboot the player.

5.Press the LOAD button to close the tray. The player software will now load from the CD into RAM.
This usually takes about 5 minutes but may take up to half an hour. You may see corruption of the TV
picture during this time. This is normal.
6.Wait until the tray opens. When the tray opens, take the CD out of the tray. The flash memory will
now be erased and the new software will be loaded from RAM into the flash ROM. It will take about
one minute.
7.Wait until the tray closes. This signals that the flash update is complete. There is no need to reboot.
The software version should be shown on the TV screen momentarily every time the player is
powered up.
