I recently bought a Yakumo XL2 DVD Player and attempted to update the firmware. I followed the instructions but after waiting for almost an hour, it became obvious that it wasn't working, so I had to turn the machine off. After this, the whole machine stopped working - even the display wouldn't come on. I assume it had problem reading the CD and the firmware was only half installed. I'd have thought that there would have been measures taken to safeguard this from happening, but apparently not. Anyway, I've managed to get a refund and have now bought another brand.

My questions is - is this typical of all DVD Players? I've just bought the Yamada 6600 which I've read requires a fireware upgrade to enable AVI subtitles to work, and I'm worried the same will happen again.

Incidently, the CD I used was verified when I wrote it and was also readable by my PC. I wrote this using the default settings on Nero Express. Are there specific settings which I should have applied to make it readable by the player?

Thanks
