Hello, I just bought the Phillips DVP642/37 DVD player. The 7-8-9-ok-0 region change combination is working fine, thank God. However when i press 5-6-9-ok (tray open) to check the firmware nothing happens. I try with 5-6-7-ok too, still nothing (gives me the hand in both cases). Also, I wasted 3 CD-R discs burning firmware 1109 files on them in different modes, but the player just recognizes them as blank. Otherwise playng Divx movies and DVDs is fine. I want to upgrade because i need Bulgarian subs for Divx. Have they changed something in Philips? No more firmware touching whatsoever? I bought the player Dec. 2006. Any ideas?
I got the same problem, Recently bought DVP642/37 combination 5-6-9 doesn't recognize. Any help is appreciated thanks
I guess they removed firmware checking/upgrading option from the newest units. My 642/37 cannot recognize any firmware files no matter how I burn them on a blank CDR or DVDR. That's it. It is still a great player, my only regret is I couldn't make it recognize modern Cyrillic subtitles for Divx.
