Onkyo 875 - Firmware upgrade

[skr1]

[quote user="VoodooDoctor"]You will need a serial cable to go from the PC to the 905, readily available from a shop like Maplin. The actual process is very easy (if a little scary as you could brick the unit ;-) ). I did my own and it worked fine, just make sure you read the instructions thoroughly. The CD player bit requires a basic CD player. My Rega Apollo didn't work but the cheapo Sony CD changer I had stored away worked fine. The PS3 works apparently as well but you have to have the correct settings for the optical output.[/quote]

Just to update two discs sent to me both playable on cd. down load to be done this week.

Nice one. Mine are allegedly in the post too.

Would appreciate an update as to how you get on.

Cheers

Has everyone got that firmware update sorted, just been reading this thread before which had never heard that an update existed. My receiver has 1.2 firware on, so my only option it seems is to have it sent away, its a shame Onkyo dont do some sort of swap. Am I right in saying that once the hardware mod has been done I will be able to update the receiver myself in future if need be?

Got my 875 back yesterday, but won't have a chance to set it up again till the weekend.
