This is the new firmware 60126A for LG RH-7x00 harddisk recorders.
The firmware has been released by LG Electronics Nordic.
It can be used for the following LG RH-7x00 models

RH-7500, RH-7800, RH-7800H and RH-7900H

! Update with/to this firmware at Your OWN RISC !
I am NOT to be held responsible, for any damages or faulty updates to Your recorder !

! VERY IMPORTANT !
1) NEVER switch off the recorder during an update.
2) Wait for the update to finish successfully (when the Firmware-CD has been ejected after the update).
3) After the update has finished, please remember to switch the recorder off, and then on again - for the new firmware to load, and fixes to work.

Before You start the update, check Your current firmware to see whether this firmware is older or newer, than Your current one.

For checking Your current Firmware-/Loader- info on RH 7x00:
Press ("Setup", "Lock icon", "7", "8", "8", "9").

It should look something like this (versions on Your recorder may vary):
SET: Ver=60126A Cware=prod045 BSP=23 FME
IO: Ver=R02(D17), Loader: v.30

The Loader version is NOT affected by this firmware-update,
nor is Your recorder's current settings or channel-tunings.

Features / issues addressed in firmware 60126A:

- Timer recording stops after 4 minutes and 1 second, if harddisk is almost full.
  Corrected in firmware 60126A.

- Remember subtitle setting, for XviD/DivX movies, e.g. LATIN-2.
  Corrected in firmware 51214A.

- .srt / .sub subtitle bug in XviD / DivX movies (no end time).
  (e.g. subtitles in XviD / DivX, are no longer displayed permanently).
  Corrected in firmware 51214A.

- Rewind / Fast forward when playing XviD/DivX movies.
  (NOT to be confused with goto/search by time).
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Fast DUBBING to DVD of edited material.
  (e.g. FAST copying to DVD, after commercials have been cut away).
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Using the recorder,
  while a timerbased/programmed recording is running.
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Having to switch off the recorder,
   for a timerbased/programmed recording to start.
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Erasing DVD+RW data discs.
  As stated on page 5 in the RH 7500 / RH 7800 manual, at the buttom:
  "If a DVD-RW/DVD+RW discs is recorded using a personal computer
  or other DVD recorder, you cannot format the disc using this recorder."
  So You will have to re-format the disk,
  with the same program/dvd-writer, as You did the first time You formated the disk.

- Better frame accurate editting.
  (e.g. cutting away commercials).
  Not tested yet.

- High Definition DivX / XviD support (1280 x 720 @ 30 fps),
  according to: http://www.divx.com/certification/technical.php - http://www.divx.com/certification/technical.php .
