Re: PIONEER BDR-209 change the Firmware ?
Very thanks "Billycar11" and "Coopervid" for your fast answer. Your PM is for BDR-212, my hardware is a BDR-209M. Can i patch this firmware to my drive? Thanks for you answer.
Re: PIONEER BDR-209 change the Firmware ?
Only question, no need of flashing tool right now, 'cause the drives are not mine (yet).
BDR-209BK (yes, not a MBK/DBK, only BK, prod. 2018) and BDR-209XJB (Prod. 2016)
Are the models known? Drive infos are not available.
