Plextor Japan pulls Plextor PX-708A/UF firmware 1.05

March 8, 2004

Sander reports us via our e-mail address that Plextor Japan has removed the download link for the Plextor PX-708A/UF firmware 1.05. It seems that there were some problems with this firmware regarding DVD-R and DVD-RW media. Plextor Japan recommends users to downgrade to firmware 1.04 or wait for firmware 1.06, which should be released in the next few days. If you have questions related to upgrading or downgrading of the firmware of your Plextor drive, please don't hesitate to ask for help in our Plextor Forum.

When writing to DVD-R/RW media using a PX-708A/UF
with version 1.05 of the firmware, some DVD drives have been found to be
unable to playback the discs. Therefore, we have removed v1.05 from the
website. (No other functions are affected.)

We deeply apologize to
people who have already downloaded this version, and ask that you downgrade back to 1.04. We will make 1.06 available in the very near future, and ask that you upgrade to that, instead.
