Unable to change language settingd
Hi
I bought a SONY 505 for 1/2 the normal price, but it is a german language version only and looking through the settings, the change language setting has been disabled. I was wondering if I could update the firmware so I could change the language to english. Anyone got any experience of this type of issue or has anyone updated their firmware and could point me in the right direction. Any help would be great, cheers. |

Sonys original firmware doesn't offer an option to switch the language. You will have to install the original US-Firmware to get the english language on the device.
Basically it works this way (Follow the instructions at your own risk! In the worst case you will brick the device.):
After installing the US-firmware you could use PRSCustomizer to customize your PRS-505 if you want... |
