This package finally brings the long awaited support for Vestel manufactured DVD players with STi5508 chip! (it also supports STi5519 regardless).

The new update utility Vestel 1.0 alpha automatically detects the hardware environment: chip:STi5508/STi5519, pcb:12MB03/12MB04, audio-DAC:cs4335/ak4382a/etc., audio-DAC-num:1/2/3, dvd-loader:ATAPI/embedded.
It then retrieves the suitable setup file, configures the right romimage file and then programs the flash chip.
This is really a big advantage because it helps to keep you from accidently using the wrong flash update files.

First, download the firmware update package for TV/DVD SEG Monaco:
 TV-DVD-Update0303.zip  or go to:  download page SEG Homepage

Then you need to modify the firmware settings (e.g. with abconf):
  most important:
 VIDEO/dacoutput: inverted (for 12MB03) or normal (for 12MB04)
 AUDIO/dacnum: 1 (player with stereo plugs) or 3 (player with 5.1 out plugs)
 PLAYER/frontpaneltype: default
useful:
 VIDEO/m**********: disable
 GENERAL/region: 0
 VIDEO/component: rgbuser
 NAVI/CDDA/audioscan: enable
 NAVI/MP3/audioscan: enable
 NAVI/VCD/svcdalwaystwoaudiostreams: enable
 PLAYER/standbytimemenu: enable
 PLAYER/frontpaneldisplaysupport: enable
 PLAYER/unplayablefilelimit: 9999
 PLAYER/frontpaneldisplay: dimduringplayback
 PLAYER/videostandardaccesscode: 2222
and for test purposes:
 PLAYER/hiddenconfigurationaccesscode: 1111
 GENERAL/setupselectionlimit: unlimited
 VIDEO/scartmode: user
 VIDEO/scartout: rgb
 DISPLAY/subtitlewhilezoom: disable
 PLAYER/displaysoutputoption: enable
 PLAYER/autoresume: always

Or just download one of the prepared HWS.AB files:
 HWS.AB for 12MB03/Stereo    HWS.AB for 12MB03/5.1out
 HWS.AB for 12MB04/Stereo    HWS.AB for 12MB04/5.1out

For 12MB04 only: If you want a proper tv picture during the update process, you also need to replace the file autoboot.ab with the one that comes with this package:
 SEG-Nav4.1-5519-Atapi-2layer-Reg2.zip  or go to:  download page SEG Homepage

 
Then what ?
Make sure you know exactly what type of DVD player you have got:
STi5519 chip and either 12MB03 or 12MB04 board. Have a look at the
sticontrol section for details.

Let's assume that it's a STi5519+12MB04 Stereo Player

In this case, you should have downloaded these 3 files: TV-DVD-Update0303.zip, hws_12mb04_5519_stereo.zip, SEG-Nav4.1-5519-Atapi-2layer-Reg2.zip

Create a directory called tvdvd. Move the file TV-DVD-Update0303.zip into this directory and unpack it there.

Create another directory called set. Move the file hws_12mb04_5519_stereo.zip into this directory and unpack it there.

Create another directory called dvd4. Move the file SEG-Nav4.1-5519-Atapi-2layer-Reg2.zip into this directory and unpack it there.

Now go to the directory tvdvd and delete the two files autoboot.ab and hws.ab.

Then copy the file hws.ab from directory set to the directoy tvdvd.

And then copy the file autoboot.ab from the directory dvd4 to the directory tvdvd.

After that, you may delete the two directories set and dvd4.

The files in the directory tvdvd now present the proper collection of the firmware update.

You now may burn just those 4 files (and to improve readibility of the disc just add some ~50MB of junk data files, e.g. *.wav) to a CD-R/-RW (ISO9660/Level1) and try the firmware update.
