Yeah, double-checked, polarity is fine. Not sure why it's setting it to 3 feet. Prior to the upgrade it didn't, but I'm not necessarily saying it was the upgrade. Just not sure why now.
Makes me wonder if I should leave it. I mean, if the software is computing it to 3 feet, maybe due to the room it does meet at your ears much faster than the other speakers.
I might try moving the microphone around (even though not in the listening position) just to see if it effects the computation.

I tried the latest firmware update today (the one that fixes the sub bug). I tried the USB connection instead of the serial (which I had to use last time). I kept getting the "device restart" error and was about to give up and switch to serial when....

My 6 year old son walked over and powered down the power strip servicing the 990. I grumbled, powered it back on and walked over to my laptop and clicked on the update button again one last time AND IT WORKED! So for those having that error, you might try a power cycle of the 990 and immediately try loading the update and see if that helps.

Cheers,

I too got about 6 "Device Restart" errors.
What I did was turned off the PC and 990. Then turned on the 990 and then turned on the PC.
After XP loaded up, I was able to install the S/W with no "Device Restart" messages.

I think that between Step 8 and Step 9, they should say to turn the 990 and computer off and then turn back on.

Heh. He's available for rental for all you firmware upgraders out there. :-) I'm going to market his services as Klever Little Kid. He will mystically improve your firmware upgrade experience as long as he's in the room where the 990 is being upgraded.

Cheers,

I'll also add that I found a loose nail in the wall (which was holding up a picture) when the autosetup initiated the subwoofer test tone. :p

Maybe I have some weird reflections going on or something. It didn't seem like it ever did this before. I'll keep experimenting to see if I can get the auto-set right.
Well, kind of weird. I moved my center channel from the below-TV shelf to on top of the TV. Now it calcs the distance fine. Must have some sort of weird reflection I guess. Not sure why I never noticed this situation running the auto-setup before though.

I too got a Device Restart error. On the restart the now completely anoying Windows Firewall Block/Unblock window appeared. Natrually I unblocked and the install went fine. Perhaps the dev restart errors have something to do with the users security settings. Either way, mine is done and still works. I'm leaving it alone.
