Wow, sad to hear that, this player had so much quality and potential. Anyways, thanks for all your help.

Yeah, it's also basically a Philips DVD player with modified UI and chassis. By the way, firmware flashed successfully and booted with v28. Now i'll just wait for new laser and test SACD-R, but i guess it will definitely work. Thanks for your help brother.

Yeah, maybe it was the case. By the way, do you have official firmware for Marantz DV-6001? If yes, what version is it? I'm asking that because I've tried to find v29 which addresses HDMI issues as some say in forums. Anyways, here's the official v28 firmware, hope you can do your SACD-R magic with this too. I've ordered new laser for it, should be in my hand in several weeks.

After all these bad luck, it's time for some happy update: Just burned Samsung DVD-HD747's modified firmware that you've sent to me to a CD-R (not CD-RW) and voila! It accepted the update and now it plays SACD-R! Looks like this player struggles with CD-RW discs, or it's because of aged laser diode. Thank you so much for your efforts. I'm adding this model to the list too.

Seems like bad luck is still breathing on my neck, Marantz seem to have semi-dead laser (reads CDs instantly but doesn't read any DVDs). I don't know if it has diode adjustments on its laser head, i'll get it checked by my technician. If it doesn't, i'll change its laser too. Also it's sad to hear that you could make custom fw only for Marantz DV-6001, Denon DVD-1920 that i've got reads everything without any problems. By the way, Pioneer DV-588A can be flashed with DV-585A's firmware and reads SACD-R....

Seems like bad luck found me even before starting fw update process. I've burned 5 different CD-RWs with several different programs, every one of them was recognized as VCD. I've done this modded fw installs for several Philips and Pioneer DVD players with the exact CDs and burning softwares before, and every updates i've done was successful. Even more bad news: Just tried to listen a scratchless brand new audio CD, player struggled to read it. Seems like laser is dying although i've cleaned it several...

Shall I try to flash HD745 ADXT6XEL modified fw or will you upload a new one for HD747?
