Is it possible technically possible that a firmware update could eliminate the need to unplug machine,stop the freezing,&amp; fix it for good?

Its set to automatically update, and I checked its fully updated. It's fast plays good, only freezes too often. The Wi Fi is a piece of junk. My Roku , and Sony Blu Ray DVD work great.

You can upgrade the -firmware- version according to tplinks website. The user guide says "the firmware version much match the hardware version" or something. I don't really know what this means, they don't have good translations sometimes (tp-link).

You are not the only one...mine started freezing up right after it did some factory updates. Had to reboot it :(

Don't know about any firmware updates as mine has been working just fine for 4 months. It was not easy to understand the menu structure at first as there are 2 modes for the menu that offer different settings. It does excellent video quality although the sound is weak. This is a good buy for the money.

Have you gotten anywhere with this? We got one and while it works it constantly freezes up -started after maybe an hour of use. They are sending a new one.

I just bought mine 2 weeks ago - no problems, just upgrade firmware first thing.

I have not had the need for a firmware update, so don't know. This model has been around for several years, so it may not need an update.

yes you can, it's peer to peer. but for updating the firmware you need a WiFi which connected to the internet

Jose,If you have the unit connected to the internet you should be able to go into the on-screen menu and have it search for a firmware update.Eric C

They just came out with 1.0.0.3 Build 9 firmware... try it and see if there's any improvement

yea. it's probably defective. it works good on my end. no issues, no freezing. The connection might have a failure or switch the power cord. That might have the failure. Test it out.

If you could indulge this speculation, I think firmware updates, if any, could be handled over the internet. The reason for this guess stems from what I believe I learned about the iPhone app. I wondered if it would have to be plugged in to the unit via USB or streaming via bluetooth in order to function. This doesn't appear to be the case, because within the app (on demo mode) under SETTINGS &gt; SELECT PRODUCT, all products have placeholders for MAC Address, IP Address and Port. This evidence makes me think it's safe to assume that the app is able to interface via TCPIP over wifi (though the Pioneer unit would have to be connected to the LAN via its ethernet port). So it appears to be possible that the unit can do more than just accept internet radio signals over the ethernet port. I don't think it's too big a leap to assume that firmware updates can be handled this way rather than manually by USB drive or DVD-ROM. If anyone can confirm or disprove, please fire away.

does anyone know if this can be fixed by a future firmware update, or maybe a software?

Thank you for your interest in our products. Firmware is something that you have to do yourself it will not be automatic. Cause for firmware to be update are high volume of failure and the machine is really old.

Oh, absolutely! Yes, a firmware update is needed but the cost is minimal - a small pinprick and a few drops of blood from your firstborn, and you're good to go.

alot of the problems i read were related to firmware upgrade. Do you get a recent rev?? or do you have to do the upgrade when you bring it home?
