Subz3ro, bro... I lost a little bit.

This feature find in your 1.09.03_gufiak_subz3ro_CP1251_CP1254 versión? or another?
and... this file are based from the Gufiak's 1.09.03.01 versión or not?

It's cenetered in my all (three) 1.09.03 based firmwares.
That's also answer to your second quesion - nope, they are all based on Gufiak's former 1.09.03 firmware

Subz3ro, I really love the new style you create for background and menu. Gufiak has released a new version 1.09.03.01 that it solves the problem with the last letter of subtitles.

Are you planning to release a new firmware solving that problem?


Regards and thanks a lot for sharing

NoWorries, It looks that you would have to replace all of 1.09.03.01 fw. in your download section. I wrote it few post earlier, We made a mistake and released corrupted 1.09.03.01 file, instead of proper one.
So everyone, who downloaded fw. 1.09.03.01 from http://forum.pioneerdivx.net download section, before 13.06.2006, and used it to any modifications, should erease all of this files.
I will write it again, Subz3ro's mod is the same as the proper one 1.09.03.01 and has no bug
Please, do not use firmware that has above reported bug! Because you may expect problems, that video and audio in some Xvid files may be desynchronizide.


In fact this is not Gufiak's idea. Subz3ro solved this problem. And it is also solved in all last Subz3ro's mods.

You can probably get the DV-588A-S, no? (Yes, it's ugly, I know)

What about the last firware from Gufiak's forum? It has some readme, but I don't read polish, but do you know if it has the bugs fixed? And also, is it good for Romanian language? I'm talking about B5CA1096-380-wycentrowane napisy.rar.

If you dowloaded that file before 13.06.2006 from Gufiak's forum (http://forum.pioneerdivx.net) and you want to use polish osd and cp1250, please do it again now and upgrade your player. Please remove all firmwares downloaded form Gufiak's forum before 13.06.2006!!!
1.09.03.01 firmware file ( B5CA1096-380-wycentrowane napisy.rar), that was in our download section before 13.06.2006, had serious bug that was reported here.
I am writting it for the third and last time!!! FW 1.09.03.01 from Gufiak's forum is absolutely the same now as Subz3ro's.(you can find it few post up, in this topic) The only different is that we added Polish OSD and CP1250. The difference between 1.09.03.00 and 1.09.03.01 is that Subz3ro centered subtitle window. This "centering" unexpectedly much fixed the bug of cutting-off last letter.
This night, working with NoWorries, we updated also www.pioneerfaq.net download section, to remove any possibilitie that corrupted firmware is there any more. I hope you can download fw from NoWorries site soon (probably downloading there is temporary off, now. But will work soon.)

All 1.09.03.01 at Pioneer FAQ (www.pioneerfaq.info) should be good to go. Worked most of the night and morning with Dinderi(thank you) to get it all up and ready. If you find any errors please do use my Live Help system and send me a message, I'll get it much faster then if you just post it here.
I'm not checking this forum everyday,sorry.

ah well i tried subzero's firmware version and still i only have short filenames

guess maybe its something specific to 686A player

anyway thanks for the firmware all the other cool features are working fine

Done! I've downloaded the firmware and upgraded the player without problems.

People, use this firmware!

@ Subz3ro

Is the problem with centered subtitles allready solved in your 1.09.03 FW version, or we can expect .01 version from you?

Please try to read a few posts back... speaking of which, just Dinderi wrote 2 or 3 describing the current situation. Please DO accept that it is NO GO to write the same thing to everybody.

(HINT: my firmware - luckily - never had the problem with the last subtitle letters cut off-screen)

I just wanted to be sure that I have problemless FW installed in my player.
Subz3ro, you're the MAN!!!!

Wouldn't be so sure Cut-off letter, still can be accidently seen, but only when you set very big or biggest fonts. (Just fuigured that couple of days ago). But it does not change the thing, your fw is safe to use.

i have a dv383 player, i have flashed it with the firmware u supply yet it still wont see anything other than one region, when i press 0 indefinetly, it just turns off, and when i turn back on i have new options as it said i wld, but alas, can still only view region 4. Have u had similar queries to mine ? if so, what is possible fix ?

0 is a dimmer in 3 level. VFD dimmer under '0' key on RC (hold this key longer to change VFD brightness) Last level is display off.

Press small 'enter' on rc in main screen to make region free player or 'clear' to remove.

Hello,
I have a 585 and the gufiak firmware.
In the video output section I can't access to the Componente : it's grey...
I have no image on my screen.
Anyone have an idear ?
Thanks

I have 383s with I complete FIMWARE 1.09.03.01. I put a SACD and it says to me that Disco cannot read, single reads the part of Audio CD. Why do not read the SA-CD ?

You should ask Pioneer for that, first. Playing SACD and DVD-Audio is possible just for dv585, only.
If there is anybody that can send me dv-585 eeprom in a file, that is sort of hope to implement playing SACD and DVD-Audio on dv-380/383 etc. Otherwise, probably there is no possibility to unlock it.

The peculiar thing is that it can reproduce the part of hi-fi of DVD-Audio, that is track MLP. As it can be?

Forget to mention, that with the updated FIMWARE they appear the options to reproduce SA-CD, DVD-Audio, that with the original FIMWARE of makes obvious does not appear.

can someone tell me how to make vobsub subtitles work on a dv-383?
I make theese with son2vsub and are displayed well on media player clasic, but when I burn it to a cd-rw and select the video to play, first it takes long to play the file as it is reading the vobsub file, but when it plays, it doesn't show 'em

PS: it also happens with some vobsub files I downloaded wich are ripped straight from DVD
PS: Also, only one set of vobsub files I downloaded (Excel Saga from AHQ) DO work, thats why I don't get it

Hi !

I've dv380 with the latest Gufiak firmware. Some divx movies has very strange sound. It's like "Darth Vader speech". ( Sorry for the simile, but I can't explain better) If I switch virtual sourround ON, it's getting better. ( But not OK.) Playing them on PC these movies are fine. Any conversion has no effect. Even if I try to convert the sound to PCM. Is it possible a wrong surround downmix? Or what?

Try to play movie and hold arrow "->" on remote control for a while. I thing you probably made your player to play the films slower, pressing arrow"<-" and you just never registered that.

This firmware has so many additional features and remote control tricks, has anyone put together a "manual" which could be like an "addendum" to the official manual that comes with the DVD players? I can't be the only one who can't remember all of the possibilities.

Here is a list of keys with secondary functions:
* 1 - Volume+
* 4 - volume-
* 5 - switch the picture format (Letter box, Pan&Scan, 16:9)
* 7 - mute on/off
* 0 - VFD dimmer
* ENTER² - set region 0 (region free) - you will be able to play any DVD-Video movie
* CLEAR - set default region - it will bring back the default region which was set before
making the player region free
* SURROUND - "SURROUD" is now the secondary function, primary function of this key is "Shuffle"
- used for mp3/wma playback
* > (right arrow) - faster music/movie playback, increases the pitch
* < (left arrow) - slower music/movie playback, decreases the pitch

² It is the Enter button among the numpads that you should use.

Theres also a list at: http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/dv585.p...stion=Firmwares that will tell you all changes to the firmware that is made.

If some one will make a better new manual i'll gladly hoast it.

This problem only happened if I tried to play some specific divx movies. I don't think that I was always playing those movies slower.Only those.

Where can I get FW 1.21 mentioned at http://www.pioneerfaq.info?

Does Pioneer posts its FWs officially? Or what we get its through tech leaking?

Hello all!

I just have one question and would really like to get an answer to it
Has anyone tried to upgrade the Pioneer 393 with this firmware?
Is there any FW that can be used on 393?

Thank You for answring!
Bye

Dv393 for 99,99999999999999% is a bit different player than 380 etc. Those "bit difference" makes, that trying to upgrade this player with fw for 380/585, would kill the player. So do not even try to do that! Much wiser would be to try make a backup of it's fw. But as we did that twice here, this is also not very safe (two tryes, two killed players). So far, there is no avalible fw for that player now, at all.
Regards

Thank you Dinderi very much!
Is it better to change the player for older version DV 380, they still have them in store and are a bit cheaper, I think there is still time to make the change?
Does anybody know if there will be a FW for 393 in the near future?
Is it also MTK based?
Thanks
bye

Hello,
version 1.20 is a big improvement in the component output of the player. It is actually so big that I had to upgrade my player with that version.
Of course now I'm pretty sad, as I don't have the advanced features of Gufiak's software. The things I'm missing the most are the browser and the random MP3 play.

Is anybody trying to modify the 1.20 version (in the end image quality should be a common interest) or there's no hope at all?

Thanks and regards,
GPQ.

I thing that is very good idea. Dv-393 brings nothing better then dv-380. I'm sure this is just new box with same old, little bit rebuilt guts.

It is MTK based, but probably moded fw is far, far, undescribed future. Gufiak is involved in some very bussy stuff now, and for sure will have no time to do any mods in several months time. So far no one extracted fw from it, so there is no material to work with.

If you still have a chance to buy dv-380, just do it.

All the best!

So it does! I tried in the past with several other versions, but it didn't worked, so I guess I had give up a little.

Only now I've read this, because sometimes the forum 'forgets' that I'm tracking this topic, and stops sending me notifications of new messages

Someone Know if have some tech differences between the dv-380 (383) and dv-393 besides the look of the chasis?

Check this!
http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/product_overview...xonomy_id=45-64

can anyone share the firmware 1.21? i'll try to modifie it

This subject been allready (as I know) cleared.
1.21 and 1.20 has only minor difference.
So try fix 1.20.
Gufiak or someone can correct me if I'm totally lost!
Thanks for G's last one!!!!

I also have a Pioneer DV-588, need the CP-1252 version of the firmware
(for Brazilian Portuguese language) and I have the SAME problem you are.

The problem is our friend Chifu (from Buenos Aires) alters a firmware
version 1.09.03.00 for CP-1252 but name it in a wrong way, with lowercase
characters.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I have a 588A with manufactor data Jan-06, I would like to know:

1. my Pioneer firmware version?
2. 1.09.03.01 is the correct version to upgrade?
3. should I consider the B5CA1096.bin that consider CP-1252, issue on 30-05-06?

chifu

Doing the upgrade using version 1.09.03, will the 588A read AVI files on version 6.x?

cheers

hi everybody.
I want to share one letter to send to Gufiak for his opinion. Maybe somebody else happend the same...
I wanna aks you one bug that one friend told me.
He comment that with one mod for 01.09.02.00 20-10-2005 firm version, he discovered that the pioneer dv383 has locked itself and show this on the screen.



On the dvd display show just REGION

... he tray to play CD, DVD, Divx, original and copies but the player don't do anything. He try to select one region with the remote but nothing happend. inclusive, try to set the multiregion pressing the ENTER button a few seconds, but can't unlock the player.
Do you know this kind of problem before?... know the solution?
What do you thing?


And... Dosse thanks for the link but, checking the full tech list of the dv-393 I only find that just its added the support for the new DVD-R DL/DVD-RW DL (I dunno if the dv-383 can playing too).

(taken from the PioneerFAQ - http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/dv585.p...uestion=Extras)

You need to get a Pioneer Service Remote. When you have it, you should press: [ESC] [A.MON] [Numbers], where [Numbers] correspond to the region number you want to set. Be aware that you can only set this once, if you set the wrong region number for your area, there is no turning back.

Audio:

380 192 kHz/24-bit D/A Converter
393 96 kHz/24-bit D/A Converter

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Dosse

This mean, or bring the player to technical service for this procedure or buy this kind of remote just for make this selection ONE TIME!!!
... Uhm this sound a little inconvenient and inpractical solution. Really isn't another way for fix it?
Besides, if do this procedure and unlock the player... then still make the multiregion trick presing ENTER button as we know, or i can't?

When you have set the region, the player will function as normal. And yes if you have Gufiaks modded firmwrae installed you can do it multiregional. But first you need to set the region number for the player. What region you should use is located on the back of the player.

Theres a lot of software out there to emulate the Pioneer Service Remote, witch by the way you can't buy and if you should be able to buy, it it is cheaper to leave the player to a service center.

If you have an IR tramsmitter on your computer, I might be able to supply you with WinLirc+Service Remote file, then you might get the dvd-player back to life.

Ok, thanks for the tip No-Worries. The player still have warranty, and I hope the service do the job with the remote.
I suggest it to my friend.

Yeah, I too noticed that in Pioneer websites. So, by going from 380 to 393, the audio sampling would be downgraded ?? Or there
shouldn't be any differences detected ?? Please somebody with technical knowledge, comment on this ... Thank you !

Is it just me or does anyone notice some jerkiness in the video when a long subtitle is displaying in the last gufiak firmware?

Necro.

Would you discribe in details, what you have noticed?

Maybe somewhat related. I have noticed quite a bit of jerkiness and even stalling for a couple of seconds. Sometimes its so bad I have to give up. I then tried them on the computer and played fine. These were dvd copies I copied in linux with k9copy. I have a dv 380 player with latest firmware. Maybe I should downgrade and try them.
