Pmotz - My friend is helping me with this and has more experience with fixing computer related issues but admittedly is not a computer geek. He down loaded all the 4.12 version files and then burned a DVD. Did same but this time burned to a CD. Neither of these are readable by the DV137. As you noted these files can not be opened as stored on his hard drive either. So close yet so far. Very frustrating!!! I'm sure someone has figured this out.
ARCAM DV137 fix firm ware, help
Hello,
I just purchased a DV137 player with a bad version of firm ware. The prior owner went to AVS Forum and uploaded a 5 series version. Now the player skips on picture playback, cd playback is fine. I'm looking to restore the original 4.12 version w/o sending unit back to a dealer or Arcam. My friend found the correct 4.12 firmware and burned a dvd but the player will not read the dvd. If anyone has successfully restored the original firm ware please contact me. I could use some help. Worse case is that I purchased a cd player, less dvd playback.
