Firmware Updates for Oppo/Onkyo

[neil wilkes]

Someone here sent me a link, and even the actual updates, for some Pioneer, Oppo & Onkyo players that have issues with playing DVDA/MLP streams on a 16:9 disc.
Affected players include the Oppo 971H, the Pioneer 563/565/578 range (all the same firmware) and others that I cannot remember right now.

Sadly & stupidly I have not created a backup of my old office system, and the C drive has died & gone to IBM heaven.
It would be absolutely wonderful if I could get either the links or even the updates sent to me again, and whoever does this I will owe a serious favour to.

Many Thanks in advance

Neil, I was never a 971 owner, but this page should include the final update before OPPO stopped production. Any prior updates would be rolled into this one as well:

Let us know if this helps you

there you might find what you need for your Pioneer devices.
Note that model names differ depending on the sales region. For example from what I know the DV-49AV in US is the same than the DV-610AV in Japan and Europe.

Neil, you have send me a firmware file for my Onkyo. As I remember it correctly it was actually a Pioneer firmware update.

When I get home tonight I will see if I still have it.

Neil, I have v 1.906 for the Pioneer 563A. (As far as I know it's the latest version) Let me know if you would like a copy.

I sent along the Pioneer firmware. You should see my inbox over at avsforum, probably a couple times a month I get a request for that thing! I think I originally got it from someone on this board, and it did clear all playback issues I had with the Pioneer. Until that firmware started floating around your only option was to send the player into Pioneer as they wouldn't do it any other way. At least with Oppo you can download the firmware from them.

Neil,

Found the file you have send me. I have sent it back to your opus email account.

And the European firmwares are found here!

Thanks very much Guys.
Hopefully this will sort out the problem, although I seem to remember the Oppo firmware I had was from that site GE mentions, and is a hacked upgrade.
Can anyone with an Oppo 971H please, please try the King Crimson discs or the Steven Wilson Insurgentes disc & get back to me?

.. seem to remember the Oppo firmware I had was from that site GE mentions, and is a hacked upgrade.

I never found nor used a hacked Oppo firmware. If hacked, it was done by Oppo .
The firmware however that "fixed" the Schoolyards Ghosts and Insurgentes DVD-A's was for my (previous) player, an Onkyo DV-SP502E. It was probably "hacked" from a Pioneer version.
As for Oppo, make sure not to mix up the European versions with the Rest of the World versions.
Just to avoid confusion.
