How to flash DVD BBK

Firmware update in DVD players (players) occurs either through the program or with a programmer FLASH memory, via SPI interface.

Keep in mind that despite the general similarity, each brand has its own firmware features. Inside many archives is detailed description for a specific model. In case of additional questions, ask them in our forum, where the main visitors are repair specialists.

The procedure for updating the firmware is well known to all "computers" since the time of the "Chernobyl" CIH virus. Since then motherboards, video cards, CD and DVD drives and other computer devices have been flashed countless times.

However, home DVD players also have the option to update the software. At the same time, in most cases, specific equipment or special skills are not required. After spending about 10 minutes of your personal time, you can fix some problems in your device. But, since the software update procedure is quite risky, it must be done very carefully and only according to "acute indications". In this case, it is appropriate to recall the proverb "the best is the enemy of the good." If your player works flawlessly, then it is better not to interfere with it software part. Don't expect miracles - a software update will not teach, for example, your player to read MKV if this container has not been played before. Typical problems solved in this way are Russification of the interface, reading larger files, and eliminating some errors in reading supported formats.

The possibility of updating the software is also available for household DVD players.

So, let's consider in more detail the procedure for updating the firmware using the example of a household BBK player. First you need to find out which version of the firmware is already installed. For BBK, this is done like this - press the "Setup" key, and then enter the combination "9210".

  1. On the official website we are looking for a new version of the firmware. Open www.bbk.ru, find your player model. You can download the update in the "Support" section. Downloading the archive. It contains a file with new version firmware (usually .BIN or .ROM)
  2. Unpack the archive and write all its contents to a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc. You can record using the familiar "Nero" program, the disc format is a regular data disc "CD-ROM (ISO)".
  3. We turn on a household DVD player (having previously disconnected external USB drives), insert a disk with firmware into it, and close the tray.
  4. If everything is done correctly, the following message will appear on the screen: "UPGRADE FILE DETECTED UPGRADE? PRESS PLAY TO START" - press the "PLAY" key.
  5. At the bottom of the screen (below the "PRESS PLAY TO START" line), "FILE COPYING" will appear, which will change to "UPGRADING" after a few seconds. Until the process is completed, do not press any buttons on the remote control or the player itself.
  6. The tray will pop out automatically, remove the disc from the tray and wait for a while until the standard BBK splash screen ("BBK DVD VIDEO" on a blue background) appears on the TV screen and the tray closes automatically. This means that the software replacement was successful and the player is ready to go. If it seems to you that the process "hangs" - do not turn off the DVD, wait a few more minutes.

This completes the process, and if all 6 points passed without errors, you can breathe freely. The procedure for updating the software on players from other manufacturers may differ slightly, but, in general, the algorithm is the same.

A few tips for those who are going to do the "flashing":

  1. Carefully(!) read the player model on the back cover. An error in one letter can cost your device a "life".
  2. Look for firmware only on the official websites of manufacturers.
  3. Do not change the contents or names of the update files.
  4. For recording, use a new or, at worst, just a blank CD without scratches.
  5. Ensure reliable power supply to the DVD player while flashing. You should not start updating if your socket is sparkling, children or a neighbor are running near the wires. this moment uses a welding machine. If there is a source at home uninterruptible power supply, it is better to connect the player to it.
  6. I strongly recommend that you find the current (factory) firmware before updating. The fact is that it is not uncommon for new versions to solve old problems, but new ones arise. And then the owners complain - it would be better if I old version left, but where can you take it now? Regarding our example, factory versions can be found on the forum of the official website of the BBK service center www.bbk-sc.ru.
  7. Once again, think carefully about whether there is a good reason for reprogramming. Remember that if you make a mistake, then you can restore the player's performance only in a service center. Warranty obligations in this case will be lost, and the repair will cost a lot of money.
