Anyone out there know if it`s possible to upgrade the firmware on the Yelo 800 DVD Player?

If so, how?

Thanks for any info.

I`ve recently purchased a RICOH DVD+RW/+R for the PC and it came with software for creating DVDs. These work fine on the Yelo with 2.56 firmware but not the one with the 2.52 software.

The reason I asked was `cos I`ve got one of them too. How do you check your firmware version?
Know of any other differences/fixes with the newer firmware?

When you got the DVD player the manual should have had a loose leaf sheet regarding Region Setup. Follow the Region Code Set-up procedure and it displays the Fatory Setting Page. the firmware version is on there.

2.56 for me.

When I got the player it mentioned something about their website yelo.ws to register but it never seemed to exist. Still doesn`t.

Go to www.kiiro.co.uk and register it there. Kiiro. I believe, is the name for Yelo distribution in the UK.

Hi,
did you manage to get the firmware upgraded for your player? i am trying to do the same with my yelo800. Do you get any issues with Disney/buena vista dvd`s , i get a colored bar appear across the bottom half of the screen after about twenty mins, the only way to clear it is to stop the film and then press play again.

Cheers for any help you can give. :)

Hi.
Never resolved the firmware issue I`m afraid. Kiro were no help either - in fact I do believe I am still waiting for a reply from them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :/

I eventually got round the problem by upgrading the burning software which helps to a degree. It does still freeze at times but I just stop and start it again and it`s fine for the rest of the disc. Never had any problems with Disney DVDs like you though.
