CMX-3000 firmware upgrade?

Hi, 

I realise this is an old product but tbh it is completely satisfactory for my needs.

I bought a Pioneer CMX-3000 dual CD player system recently and the firmware is the older one (v2.02), i have noticed there are certain bugs present such as the '8 second stop' (more precisely 8.04 secs.... ALL the bloomin time!)... i would be happy to continue using this product if i could simply get the firmware upgrade, but i realise this isn't widely available any more due to the age of the product.

To be honest i would attempt it myself, but upon looking up service docs i realise you need a certain interface 'jig' that i presume only certified service people can get their hands on.

Question: is there anywhere that would still have the tools and files needed to do this for me?

Thanks.

@Tom > I believe an update may only be available through a service centre but I'm not sure if the unit is supported any more. I'll find out more for you ASAP and see how to help.

Thanks Gavin, much appreciated. Looking at it last night it is actually v2.21 but i did read somewhere that it was upgraded to 2.4 or 2.5 or something to fix these bugs.

Cheers for any info.

@Tom > The most recent firmware release for the CMX-3000 is v2.5 which was released in 02/2008. Only an authorised service centre can perform the update as, as you mention, a special jig is required. I would advise you to contact an authorised service centre in your area to see if they can help you. Contact technical support links on the right hand column >>
