DVR-112D, firmware 1.24

Replaced my first one for a second and this second one seems to have problems with audio extraction, some glitches which a generic DVD-reader doesn't produce...

anyone else problems with this ?

Any digital out available on this drive ? I think it's not the case according to the main PCB picture. They do have a serial remote control instead but have not found any documentation yet.

Got this one on my Mac drive.
Does any one know where I can find the firmware to dezone it, (that is to turn it to RP-1 stage) ?
