Re[2]: JVC service or questions

Zardoz Posted Apr 23, 2007, in response to:Larry

I just turn it on and leave it in the "Loading " state for about 10 min or more. I then come back and power it off and on again and it starts to work. Have not found any other solution. Want to keep this DVD player as it has DVD Audio.

    Thanks Zardoz. I had worked on this issue several months back. After dissecting the player, checking out the microswitches (which were called "DW DET" S1 and "OC DET" S2, etc. I was unable to find any obvious problem. So I next assumed that the player needed a firmware refresh (or update). I purchased a firmware disc, actually an electronic image that I could burn to CD ... from an Internet seller. Filename that I had was a JVC_firmware_WNM874 kit which contained jvcStep1_U2XVSA70-04B, a folder which contains the "JVC_DVD" required folder. I was able to use this CD-ROM to update the firmware on the XV-SA70. The bad news was that after the DVD player read the firmware disc and seemed to have done it successfully, upon self-restart it again demanded a disc to be inserted. I did this over and over again. My guess at the time was that maybe it's a 2-volume CD-ROM firmware flash, and that I was missing part 2. I tried asking on the Internet but I got no answer ... however I did get a refund for the CD-ROM image that I had paid for; they were nice about it. Wanting to move on (regretfully), I went ahead and purchased a brand new JVC XV-N330B DVD player. The good news is that this player has a lot of desirable features, including that it should auto-convert video formats for play and output (i.e. NTSC/PAL). The one downside that sticks out for me is that the remote control that comes with it is really bad, in that it is so cramped -- small buttons, close together, hard to read. I really liked the remote that came with the XV-SA70 and I'm going to see whether I can use that one to control the XV-N330. This happened a few months back, I've been wanting to get around to writing an update here. I'm going to junk that XV-SA70 but I may retain some of the parts, for example the actual DVD mechanism. Regards, Larry.
