Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 19:29:59 -0500 Ok. I don't see anything about my model here. It's just talking about two models that I don't have in the flashing instructions. I don't know where the .bin files are that I need. I am also not sure how to do this since my player won't talk in order to get into the menus. Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it.
