+ New Audio settings menu.

Firmware update oppo971-F-0220.vK1

andy007 — Wed, 17 May 2006 07:50:35 +0000

Changes:
Menu item “Set PBC State” in Preferences replaced with “Show all as DATA”.
I think that videocd is obsolete now and I have extremely low space in firmware for new menu items

If this new feature turned on player should handle all discs as data discs and show its folder structure in filebrowser. In this mode you can see all additional pictures and other files on “mixed” dvd-video discs which previously you can see only on computer.

Subtitle bug is solved.

Download it here.

Subtitle problem

Here is another beta firmware based on vF3 that may solve the subtitle problem.
I can not reproduce this problem myself, so it is just a theoretical solution.

Please post your testing results!
