Sony SVRS500
Does anyone have a link to update firmware for this Sony badged digifusion machine? I think the last was 1.5.8.
I have had to replace the hard drive so the machine has reverted to its original version which causes it to lock up overnight at download time. |

Still had no luck in finding the 1.5.7 last software update. If anyone has it I would be grateful for a copy.

Hi, I saw this thread and another on a similar forum and decided to upgrade my SVR-S500 which has been on the same version for what seems like forever.
I downloaded the file and followed the instructions, and now the unit tells me that there is no aerial connected and cannot find any frequencies/channels. I have tried doing a factory reset and formatting the hard drive and reloading the update again several times. My previous software version number was 3.5.5 - I thought that the numbering system must have changed when I saw a brand new version 1.5.8 here, so I carried on regardless. Now I have a useless box unless anyone can help me - does anyone have version 3.5.5 available for download - or any tips or suggestions. The unit serial number start with 7 which I believe is important as that signifies the 2nd generation of the model. Thanks in advance. |

Thanks - but that is the forum that I already found which prompted me to do the update.
I am still stuck with a dead box. The unit works, ie I can navigate the menus - it is just the tuning does not work. It's the same if I install digifusion firmware (since the unit is a rebadged Digifusion). I am wondering if there is another fault with my box - which just happened to be triggered by the update. Is there anything else that I can try? I would still like to know if anyone has the 3.5.5 firmware. |

The FVRT400 firmware for the Digifusion might be worth a try, as they changed the tuners on that model compared to the earlier ones....this gives the no aerial syndrome you describe, when applied to a 100/200 digifusion, as it doesn't recognise the tuners.
The tuners in the FVRT400 are Phillips ones I seem to remember, which are different to the ones used in the earlier Digifusions - maybe the Sony model uses these newer tuners? Otherwise, have you tried a revert, such that the box boots from the flash rather than the HD, or vice versa - don't know which run bin file you updated? I assume Sony's allow the "two fingered salute"? PM me and I will send you a copy of the 400 FW if you need it |
