Having troubles with new firmware, how to go back?

Thanks for the link to the instructions.  It turned out that the CD didn’t work on the old firmware version, either.  So, I reloaded one that I knew for sure used to work, and *that* didn’t work, either.  It turns out that I needed to turn “Ch. Mode”  to “On” in the Settings menu for Audiobooks in order to navigate tracks the way I wanted to.

When I put the new version of the firmware back on (since that wasn’t the problem) the “Ch. Mode” automagically turned itself off again.  I set it back on and everything is working.
