Firmware is provided to fix errors such as media recognition errors (DVD+R in your case), and in some cases used to repair errors in the microcode.<BR /><BR />Generally, the the of thumb I use is if it is <I>highly benificial</I>, then I download and install it. Sony will briefly explain what the upgrade will do, and offer a disclaimer.<BR /><BR />I would use caution on upgrading the BIOS unless you need to for Service Pack 2 compliance, or to fix serious underlying issues (such as corrupt ACPI/PCI-IRQ Routing errors).<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 01 Nov 2004 19:45:16 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/firmware-update-1-20-for-pioneer-dvr-107dva/m-p/148271#M36158 jammold 2004-11-01T19:45:16Z Re: Firmware Update 1.20 for Pioneer DVR-107DVA https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/firmware-update-1-20-for-pioneer-dvr-107dva/m-p/148272#M36159 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I would go a little further and say any firmware upgrade should be treated with the same caution, Bios or otherwise both could render hardware useless. I concede a buggered drive is not as costly as a useless computer but the risks are the same.<BR /><BR />Despite this I have used both several times without problems .<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 01 Nov 2004 20:43:40 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/firmware-update-1-20-for-pioneer-dvr-107dva/m-p/148272#M36159 Mandy 2004-11-01T20:43:40Z Re: Firmware Update 1.20 for Pioneer DVR-107DVA https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/firmware-update-1-20-for-pioneer-dvr-107dva/m-p/148273#M36160 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yep I'm with James on this.
