I just thought I'd start a thread to say how HAPPY I am with the Firmware Updates!!! :T :T
I just updated my 1098 from 3.1.0 to 3.1.4 and WOW. Every issue I had with the unit has been fixed! No DPLIIx - Game mode, now have it. No sleep mode for TFT, now have it. DTS drop out with my DVD player, NO LONGER (thanks to better stream detection with firmware). Faster volume control with remote, now have it. I always hated how slow the slow setting went, I liked being able to adjust numbers one at a time, but it never would go fast...now it's all fixed, press it once or twice or repeated, it goes up by 1, hold it down, it FLIES through the volume. Sweet!
Only thing I wish they'd change is show the dbs for the volume over the count. But oh well, everything else is superb!
Oh yeah, upgrading went by without a single hitch! Nice, easy, and smooth. And for a Techie type person, lots of fun!
Definitely write down your settings and do the reset to defaults after you upgrade, makes sure it all works right then!
So I think Rotel needs a nice "pat on the back" for making the firmware upgrade easy and smooth sailing!
Only pain was disconnecting the unit and getting behind the PC to hook up the cable, I need a 50 ft cable so I can just upgrade without having to move the unit... lol, think they can fix that with a firmware upgrade? :B
Also, I want to thank Andrew for all the help with getting the firmware. You the man!
