I did the same and replaced the original SD-M2012 with a SH-D162C and patched it with TS04 RPC1. I could watch a DVD+R DL while the drive was still IDE attached with my PC. After I have connected the drive with my DP-600 and inserted the same disc it did not playback the disc. I tried it with the old firmware Version 3.0.25 and the current firmware 3.0.34! Can someone please help.

Tried my "old" DVD burner LG GSA-4167B and it worked! But it was still not possible to playback DVD+R DL Now I believe it must be the Firmware of the player that prevents the Dual Layer discs from playback!

when you burn the dvd have you used bitsetting set to dvdrom
maybe that will make a difference

Yes I did - Nero Info says also it is a DVD-ROM
It is strange why does the PC with this dvd-drive (SH-D162C) plays back the DVD-ROM and after I have attached it to the DP-600 this drive does NOT play it back :wtf:

Hey,

When using the liteon DVD and you want to change the read speed you can use the following link :

http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html

Here it is possible to download a firmware, that can be modified,
you then need OmniPatcher, can be downloaded at the same homepage
http://codeguys.rpc1.org/patchers.html.

With omnipatcher you create a new firmware for the dvd drive, where it is possible change drivespeed, readspeed.

After this you write firmware to DVD drive.

Now just install drive in player, you now have a lownoise dvd player from kiss

Hope you get it to work !!!, I DID .-)

[rockhead]

I just wanted to know, is it possible to replace the DVD drive in the Kiss
with a HD-DVD or a Blue-Ray drive? Has anyone attempted this yet?

The question is really, does the Kiss firmware use high-level or low-level access to the drive, so could you just install a HD DVD drive with drivers and the Kiss firmware not know the difference, or would a total rewrite of the firmware be required?

Hi just got DP-600 and love it but hate the noise! so decide screw the warenty i want a quite one and will swap the drive but to which?

Is there one which the front bezil just clip on and look at the reat of the threads it seem the liteon a good choice the only one i can fine is the SHD-16PIS

The other thing is some one said that the toshida SD-M1612 has auto speed ajust will this be better than changing the firmware

if the drive is multiregion does that mean the play will be as well?

I used a hot screwdriver heated with a lighter, to shape the dvd drawer front so i match the notches on the front panel from the Kiss. Nad i could just click it on. It is an easy job, took at maximum 10 minutes.

@ rockhead

It seems, that anyone has ever tested this.

Do the Blu-Ray players work together with DP-600 is the second question now.

And if not INSIDE the DP-600, what happens connecting the Blu-Ray using an external USB 2.0 drive-box ? Is the USB 2.0 data-rate fast enough ?

I think, we have to wait until the new HDready DVD-players become better prices. Over 400,- Euros is tooo expensive

I'e changed many Toshiba drives found in KiSS players to Samsung SH-D162C and all players work very well. Even the front bezel fits perfectly. I've done it to DP-450, DP-1000 and DP-1500. In DP-600 Toshiba SD-M2012 is used it should be no problem since Samsung SH-D162C is identical to SD-M2012. Samsung has bought Toshiba Optical Storage company

If you want silent drive install speed-reduced firmware into it. It can be found here http://hijacker.rpc1.org/toshiba/index.php?path=KiSS/. Download M2012C_KS00.zip or M2012C_XS00_RPC1.zip (region free) firmware.

Open a dos window and start sftdnwin with nocheck parameter - "sfdnwin.exe - nocheck".

Then you will get a check box in the left corner of the sftdnwin program that you should use and then the firmware will flash without the error.

BTW you can install this speed-reduced firmware in original Toshiba SD-M2012 drive.
