Thanks for the clarification, Tony - I was too timid to try Menu+Mute to find out if I would be given the option of clearing my settings or not.
For others who haven't done this yet, you must simultaneously push the "Mute" and "Menu" buttons on the front panel, not the remote. The current firmware version will be displayed on screen (assuming you have OSD turned on).
So ... I have mcp-ot10700701121419. Is this in fact the new (Jan 07) upgrade? Is there a reference somewhere that matches the on-screen version number to dated releases?
thanks,
Bruce
