Can anybody shed any light on where I can get the latest SC2000 firmware upgrade from, and details of what exactly it fixes? Oh and how can I find out what my current firmware version is?
Does it improve the picture quality at all? I watched The Beach the other night and the quality of the blacks was terrible. I`m beginning to think maybe I should have got the Samsung 511 as the picture quality is no doubt superior and I`ve found that the mp3 playback and multiregion capability aren`t as important as I thought.
Ho hum, we live and learn (when I`m rich I`ll buy a Sony!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Gray

Hi Gray,
To get the firmware version on your player using the remote press
POWER ON - OPEN - SETUP - STOP - STEP – MENU
Then you get a blue screen.
MAIN VER tells you firmware version. 164 and above can be upgraded (bought after October 26th). Latest version is 204s.
I`ve found the picture quality is better with v192 or above on my machine.
Hope this helps.
Malcolm

Hi Gray,
Haven`t watched The Beach but my picture quality looks ok - the firmware upgrade will allow you to get around Macrovision
