Avrin Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) My MZ-RH1, purchased just two weeks ago, has firmware version 1.090. The corresponding menu item shows only 1.0, but the service mode (right after entering it) displays 1.090. The service manual shows 1.000. What do you guys have?

boojum Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) I am curious: how do I enter service mode to check this?? And what difference does it make? The firmware cannot be changed, can it? Edited March 10, 2007 by boojum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thott Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) I am curious: how do I enter service mode to check this?? And what difference does it make? The firmware cannot be changed, can it? Hi, you can find the way to the service mode in:RH1 Volume HackBut take care, not to change any settings! You do it on your own risk.The above describtion is the way to change the area code for the limited NF-volume of theEuropean models.When you are in the service mode (with point 1, two parts, left and rigt) are blinking. The actual firmware you will find at the left blinking field.I don´t know if it makes differences. I think not....One of the point is to identify how ´new´ the equipment is.Sometime you can indetify out of the serial number the producing month and year and sometimes even the day. But mostly the serials number are encrypted :-(As I know you can not change the firmware at the RH1. At some electronic eqquipment firmwares are updatable either by yourself or by a service point. ---www.dg8fbv.de Edited March 11, 2007 by thott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fukuda Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) you can find the way to the service mode in:RH1 Volume HackThat's very fine... but you can do it only if you have fingers the size of a baby's ones.Regards.

Avrin Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 To make it easier to enter service mode on the RH1, put it on a desk with the display facing left. Or you may actually break your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin42 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Version 1.060, right side was blinking "BEr012000"-- any idea what that means?Unit was bought at the end of June 2006 from Sound Professionals (US).I just got to the blinking part and then popped out the battery.. shouldn't have messed anything up, right? :/ (dunno why, it just freaked me out to see the blinking numbers and such with no other obvious way out) Edited April 12, 2007 by Justin42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpem Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Version 1.060, right side was blinking "BEr012000"-- any idea what that means?Unit was bought at the end of June 2006 from Sound Professionals (US).I just got to the blinking part and then popped out the battery.. shouldn't have messed anything up, right? :/ (dunno why, it just freaked me out to see the blinking numbers and such with no other obvious way out)Version 1.060 on mine too - with the same code on the right side.According to the service manual, it's normal. On the left display you get "Ver 1.xxx", on the right display you get "BEr******". There's nothing in there about what BEr-whatever actually means. Maybe it's a software release number or something. My first thought was "block error count", but that's hidden in the Diag display (service manual page 14 - Self Diagnosis Result Display Mode).Total recording time on mine (according to the diagnostic mode) is 00ED (237 - if that's hours, that's probably about right). It did report a few 0003 (focus error, no change), 0005 (fault of disc discriminate) and 0012 (could not read data with SYNC) errors. I guess some of my discs are a little iffy - my MZ-N710 showed basically the same thing when I read out the error counter when I did the 'unlock functions' hack.My RH1 is still under warranty (until the end of August '07), so I'm not going to touch any settings - not for 0.5mW. The KSC-75s I'm using don't really need the extra power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avrin Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 The reason I actually started this thread was to see that SONY is still developing the firmware, despite the fact that MD is out of favor now. No practical use for this, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
