It makes the drive region free (104 - 107 are region free patches).

So would you apply them all in order? 104-107 then the 108?

All the firmware patches are tested and work fine...you must be doing it wrong or you have a newer firmware installed.

What are the exact procedures? Do I need to use a PC? I'm confused.

As I wrote eariler theses are MAC patches...download the correct one for your drive and run the file: "PIONEER DVR-XXX Updater.command"

I hope you all are aware of that you are voiding your warranty by applying firmware-updates like this.

What is the 106 one supposed to do? Region codes? I have the 106 in my Rev A. I suppose I'm going to have to get a dual layer sometime....
