Thank you Gonk - a life saver as always. I can kick myself because I ready that same thread but was trying to check the "loader" version instead of the firmware version - doh!

For anyone who happens to be on a old version of the firmware (e.g. me -- who's on v1.01), to get the new version you can call Onkyo at 800-229-1687. They will email a waiver for you to sign, and once you return that, they will email the firmware loader and data file to you. I plan to do my update today (since I have an Audyssey Pro tech showing up tomorrow) -- and will (hopefully) be posting my success story here in a few hours...
