I don't see one on the Philips website but that is no surprise ... I mean this thing is about as new as new gets.

I wouldn't expect a firmware so soon.

What "fix" were you looking for anyways?

That is for the Philips DVP 5140/12 which is not the USA version. The firmware upgrade link is from the UK site as I believe the 5140/12 is the UK or "European" version.

The USA version is the DVP 5140/37 and the USA version of the website has no firmware upgrade.

Notice the topic of this thread specifically notes the DVP 5140/37 model.

it should work fine with the us version, just make sure u note how to set the output back to ntsc, note the button presses, and use the regionfree code or set it to region 1.

I used the european firmware on my 642 and it works perfectly.

i would love for there to be an update... it freezes with some playback and has a hard time recognizing some dvd+r's.... maybe they are just taking their time LOL
