I'm in the same position: I went through the upgrade process, which appeared to be successful according to the PC messages. I was also surprised to see that my settings had not changed, since the instructions indicated that they would.

Now I see that they should not be reset by pressing the reset switch on the rear, but only if I do a menu-mute reset. But is this actually necessary? I'd rather not go to the trouble of reapplying my settings if I don't have to.

How do I check whether the upgrade was applied successfully? The previous posts indicate that pressing menu + mute will cause it to be displayed, but they also suggest that all my settings will be lost. Do I have to lose my settings just to check the firmware version?

It seems like this should be basic information that is supplied with the instructions for the upgrade, but if you guys can help me out, that's the next best thing.
