Firmware update for Denon AVR 2310

[admin_exported]

Has anyone experience with this firmware update? I bought my 2310 in March this year (South Africa). My firmware version: main

00.64 en sub 00.24. Denon's Download and Support site: main version 00.69 , date 21/04/2010.

Denon gives a big WARNING. So I am a bit afraid.

Hi,

I have the 2310 but have not bothered with a firmware update and to be honest i can't see how that is possible...the amp has no USB socket or even a network connection so how you go about getting the firmware onto the amp is anyones guess!? I presume this is a service Denon would have to do for you meaning sending the amp away? Unless you are experiencing problems with it i don't see the need for an update unless it adds content which is extremely unlikely! Hope that helps.

EDIT: This is from the Denon uk website and confirms what i said above: "DENON recommends you to update your unit only in case where some problem has been encountered.To update the firmware of your product feel free to contact the authorized DENON-retailer where you have purchased your DENON product. Phone number and the address of your retailer you can find on here."

This means the amp will need to be sent away for the update to be applied by your retailer and as they state, it's not advisable unless you have encountered a problem so i wouldn't even consider it....especially when you see the warning that Denon accepts no responsibility for any problems caused by the update. Forget all about it and just sit back and enjoy your receiver

Hi Oldboy,

Thanks for your answer. You can find the "AVR 2310 Instructions" on http://firmware.denon-online.eu/index.php In the Manual you will see that you can update the firmware via the RS-232C connector. More information over how you can check your firmware status/version you can find here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthreadhp?t=1159463 I am very happy with my 2310 as it is. Why the risk (Denon's warning). But still............. I think you are right, sit back and enjoy.

Kind regards.

Hi hendrikj,

Yep the first link was my first port of call but i didn't notice the section in the manual untill you told me about it so many thanks! But is that something you can do yourself as denon recommend that your retailer does the update for you? Unfortunately the 2nd link goes nowhere with a message saying the page cannot be found, fear not i will google it after writing this and sure i will find the details i'm looking for. Enjoy the amp....i am for sure

hendrikj,

That's more like it! Thanks very much for posting the revised link, much appreciated. I did try to work out what was missing but assumed it was from the end of the link, doh.

Best regards
