Does anybody has problem installing firmware update program into the computer once it downloaded? For some reason, my labtop computer refuses to intall the program. I am going to try it again later as I have more time. Meanwhile if anybody has same problem and able to find out why, I will appreciate your help. Thanks.

I spent all morning with this, but keep getting a device restart error...no matter what I have tried, I can't get this to work with usb.

BTW, I checked, and there is nothing in the FIRMWARE folder in the Program Files Outlaw folder. Does anyone have something in that folder?

I noticed the firmware *.bin file didn't get moved to the firmware folder, I had to browse to the folder I installed from.

i for one like my sub on when using bypass , so please dont change it, switching your mains from small to large is no big deal for those who just want the mains on with no sub. Harmony remotes are very easy to customize perhaps one of these with a macro that switches the mains from small to large would satisfy this person

Obie, I somewhat agree with you. I applaud the Outlaws for providing updates, but frankly I don't think I will download it. Now that I only use HDMI sources and have no way of running an analog cable cleanly to my projector the lack of not being able to do the most basic of things on the front panel is discouraging. If I did install the new software I would either have to buy a small tv or a 40ft s-video/composite cable just so I could set it up again. Too much of a hassle for what the upgrade includes. Hopefully they can do more than lip sync next time for the front display. I would like to be able to rename the audio inputs, but that really isn't a pressing matter for me.

zest - Do you have to re-adjust your sub level when you switch to any other mode? When I go to bypass with the mains small my sub is about twice as loud as the mains and will literally blow me out of the room.

This was after I calibrated my sub down too.
Bypass mode bypasses all bass management and I think that is the way it should work. In Stereo or Upsample the 990 is able to control the bass. If you set your Fronts to “Large” and the Sub to “LFE Only” the sub will be off in all 2-channel modes including Bypass. That is one option. Another option that I have taken is to connect the sub via the speaker level inputs and setting the Sub to “None”. This way you can use bypass mode or any other mode and you would not need to change any settings even when listening to Dolby Digital or DTS. These are just some ideas. I will probably continue to experiment as I have for years now.

I was unable to update with my laptop using the USB connection. Pulled a PC out of mothballs, and was unable to update over the serial connection but it did work using the USB. So if you have access to more than one PC, give another a try. During the entire ordeal, I was able to turn the 990 into a brick. The thing didn't work until I completed the update. So beware, things may go wrong.

Pain in the ass and this is why I've used Macs for the last two years.
