Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD Avatar Update

[jakool124]

I just read in the Pioneer website that it can't be updated with a disc and that I have to send my unit in for the update. In the website it shows all serial numbers affected then at the very bottom it says...............

Is the update Ver. 1.65?

HOW TO OBTAIN THE FREE SERVICE UPDATE:

To obtain the free service update for an affected player or if you are unsure whether your player requires the free service update, please contact Pioneer Customer Service (Warranty & Service Department) toll free at 800-PIONEER (800-746-6337).

Well, isn't that a kick in groin. Since it's free it's not all bad but I bet they don't pay for shipping..

I'm waiting to see how fast they update the BDP-120, I emailed them as well. we'll see.
