Starsky,
I`ve read your messages in the forum and guess you downloaded your firmware down grade from the M(1)uffy site that was noted by Paul Bryant in his message. Is this right or did you get it from SPIRITUK? I`ve just bought an ADM 512 from Richer Sounds and have put the downgrade (8.0) on a disk ready to boot in the player, but wanted to find out from someone who`s done it where they got the downgrade from and how they loaded the binary code into the machine. Have you had any problems so far?
Cheers
Steve

Cheers Starsky,
I downloaded it from the M(1)uffy site and it worked fine, but if I have any problems then I`ll try the address you`ve noted. I haven`t yet tried a region 1 disk in the machine, but the region option now appears in the `secret menu`. In another part of this forum someone says that the picture quality isn`t as good on region 1 disks (`cos of inferior transfer from NTSC to PAL). Have you noticed any difference?
I`d be grateful if you could let me know how the RCE disks work out when you`ve tested them.
Thanks
Steve

I can second that. I got the downgrade from the M(1)uffy site, and burnt it to CD. Downgrade worked exactly as described. I have played Region 1 disks with no problems. I set/left the output signal as Automatic. I am getting a very good picture on my TV (Sony KV32FX60). I am guessing this is because the output signal is switching automatically to NTSC (because of the region 1 disk), and not being converted to PAL50. You should be aware that the player does NOT convert NTSC to PAL60 (only PAL50). I understand this means that when NTSC is converted to PAL50, it comes out screwy - black & white etc. This has not been a problem on my TV, since it can apparently take NTSC.
Generally, picture and sound quality are as good as billed. Top machine.
