Firmware update for Sony DW-P50A :)

:lol: I finaly got HP to release a firmware update for the Sony
DW-P50A DVD+RW (laptop). The new firmware version is 1.8f. Works with
4X DVD+RW DVD's :lol:

I have confirmed that it works but they say that it is a beta and will
be released around July!!! So if you want to wait it is up to you.

Hello,

Great stuff..... But can you provide or tell us where to get the 1.8e
version in case 1.8f (beta!) has some problems. Or in the best of
case a way to backup the old firmware to disk so one can restore it
???


Many thanx

Gomein

P.S. - I have not tried it yet and would like to know success or
unsuccess stories of the upgrade....

I do not know where to get a hold of the 1.8e firmware or how to make
a backup, I just took the chance and did it!!! I had 1.8e originaly
and it sucked....

I still have not any problems with this firmware (1.8f)

If I find any problems I will post it here

Hello,

I've followed you (in a matter of speak!) and did the firmware. I
noticed that the 4x +RW media is recognized now and had a minor i/o
while writing a DivX file to it but I believe it could be the media
that was not ok.

I tried to do a full format of it and it sucessfully did it.

I believe that the firmware is Ok from the tests I did.

Thanx

Gomein

Matte,

I've tested it with Memorex DVD+RW discs and there was when I found
the error and fixed it with a reformat with verify with InCD (latest
version!).

Seems to be goin along just fine.

This sounds good.
What types of DVD discs have you tried with this firmware (1-4x, 4x, 8x)?

Hello Everybody,
First of all I am glad to you have got the firmware update.
By the way, I would like to know if this DVD recorder (Sony DW-P50A)
can write DVD-RW.
Could anybody help me? I did´t try to burn this disk, but I would like
to do, because my DVD player (same brand) don´t read DVD+RW, just
DVD-R.
Thanks in advance....
