I am trying to update the firmware on a 596 DVD player. I am using a prolific USB to serial adapter and a null modem cable. The firmware update never starts it just asks me to reset the player. I asked about this last year but got no answer that worked. Watching DVD's has been fine so I left it alone but now I have a new Star Wars DVD that only plays in fast motion!!!! I assume updating the firmware will solve the problem.

I am set to the write COM channel.

Could anyone give any advice? Surely there's not that much that can be altered?
