[QUOTE="Vades, post: 57165, member: 1373"] Hi everyone, my first post here. I've been lurking mainly in the Classifieds section for a while and thought perhaps one of you could assist. Willi, I have had the exact same issue as you, although the copy of Avatar was rented and not bought. We also planned our whole Sunday evening around this. After putting the disk in, it stated that I would need a firmware update, so off to samsung.co.za I went, only to see (as you did) that there are no updates available for the 1600. Not to be outdone (or so I thought), I updated to US firmware (XAA) 2.08, not realising at the time that my player would change to Region 1 only. Only after doing some extensive searching and stumbling across this thread did I see that the update I should have searched for on the Samsung SA site was for the 1600[b]A[/b]! Now I cannot load the SA firmware (MEA) back again, so I effectively have a Region 1 machine with the latest US firmware. When I try to via USB, I get the "Error with update file" message. Can anyone pease tell me if there is anyway I can rectify this before I take the machine in to Samsung? [/QUOTE]
