I have an older Omni SL-P3003D DVD player. It is a great machine, but
Ive noticed it often skips or freezes when I play burnt DVD's, and
often the audio isnt aligned with the picture. I was about to throw it
out but a friend said something about firmware updates. Does anybody
know how I can get this and whether its worth keeping the player? Apsrt
from these odd problems I have had no other problems with it.

Could be the discs you are using.

You'll find cheaper brand dvd-r's do this after a while despite an initial
successful burn.

Yeh thats most likely the case, but is it possible to update the
software or firmware for this player?

You could try visiting the site of and/or contacting the Australian
distributors of Omni products, Galas Electronics.

I haven't had reason to myself, but I have read people here over the
years doing so.
