Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Update Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before You Start::
Warning: Although DIY firmware upgrade is an easy and usually trouble-free process, an improper or failed firmware upgrade could render the DVD player unusable. Choose DIY only if you are aware of and accept the risks of performing DVD player firmware upgrade. Otherwise, you can contact OPPO authorized resellers to send the player back for the upgrade.
Follow the instructions EXACTLY; Don't press the "Open/Close" key until the player reboots itself. The entire process takes between 3-4 minutes. Stay focused and be patient during this process. Make sure the AC power connection is secured; use an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) from your PC if necessary (in areas where AC is not stable). Do not interrupt power on the DVD player during the update process. The firmware will have factory default settings that may be different from the settings you currently have. You may want to note your current settings as you will have to reconfigure them after installing this firmware.
