I talked with Paul at Parasound today, and got some good info on the update issue. Apparently yes, the current version available is 6.42. Version 6.49 was developed, but bugs were found, and it is not currently available to the public. If anyone inadvertently has version 6.49, they should contact Parasound for instructions.
Apparently, version 6.42 was released very shortly after the debut of the Halo equipment, so just about everyone should have 6.42 as the "initial" software that came with your Halo equipment delivered from the manufacturer.
Parasound is currently testing a newer software version beyond 6.49 that will be released when it is verified to be okay.
Future updates should be announced on the Parasound website. Depending on the type of update, it may be available as a new EPROM chip or a software update that can be delivered, or downloaded and flashed into the equipment via the serial port.
*** UPDATE 28 FEBRUARY 2005***
The newest C1/C2 processor software version is now 6.80, available for download on the Parasound website.
*** UPDATE 28 SEPTEMBER 2005***
The newest C1/C2 processor software version is now 6.86. If you download the same file as above, it now shows up as 6.86, which fixes the bug that some were getting with main channels signals coming out of the rear surround speakers.
