Mine couldn't have been better. Pre software the auto update set everything to large with no subwoofer and the delays were all screwy. Post update everything is perfect. Small all around, sub adjusted perfectly, and distances are spot on.

The only thing was that it added like 250ms of lip sync which was not needed at all so I just had to set them back to zero. So along with the bass management being much better I love the update!

Another auto failure here. My fronts are Paradigm Mini-Monitors with CC-370 center. The surrounds and backs are all Atoms. Sub is an SVS 20-39PC Plus. All speakers are set to Small.

Auto Setup incorrectly reports the rears are actually Large and I should make the appropriate change and redo Auto Setup.

I upgraded my 3.00.03 unit to what looks like 3.10.06 yesterday (instead of 3.10.07). The six doesn't really look like a 6, but has the bottom circle with the center dot above it, and the left upper dot also. However, I noticed a definite soundstage and presence improvement in PLII movie mode from my DirecTV source, and an improved 5.1 from the tuner. It also seems like the rears have more contribution. I didn't have time to go through a bunch of material, but really look forward to it now. I originally thought the 990 was great, now it's like it went another step up.

By the way, the first time trying to do the update, I got the error message about checking the cable, etc, and didn't do anything except try it again (after a power plug removal, instead of using the master power switch), when it worked fine through the 'success' just like in the detailed directions.

Anybody have the code for the DirecTV H10 HDTV satellite receiver?

Did you reset your 990 when you were done, Bobbski?

Yep--I got the message on the 990 display saying 'system reset' and the unit turned off, then in standby, and the default FM radio station came on.

Late last night I was going to re-check the version number, and hit the system reset combination instead. After that, the version read 3.10.03. (And of course the wife wasn't too happy when I had to redo the speaker autosetup cause all the settings were cleared).

Like Andrew S on page 2, I've been unable to complete the upgrade - just getting the "Device Restart" window over and over, whether I reset the Master Power switch in the back or actually unplug and then reinsert the power cord. The error happens during the Erase phase. So now I have a 28 pound brick and no stereo or HT system.

If Steve emails me some useful instructions I'll pass them on.

I also received multiple "Device Restart" messages (using a USB cable) when trying to do the upgrade. I followed the instuctions for turning the 990 off and on within the 1 second etc, but kept getting the same message. Then I disconnnected the cable, rebooted my laptop (which I hadn't done since downloading the software) and then it ran fine. It seems the reboot did the trick.

For those who seem to be having trouble with the upgrade, a silly question: If you've been using USB and getting a failure, have you tried using the serial connection for the upgrade, or ht eother way around if you are having trouble getting it to take via RS-232?

Thanks for the advice, Jim K. However my wife turns her laptop off every night and that's at least 5 reboots since I downloaded the software, so it would be a wonderful surprise if your advice worked.
