Avr-3806 firmware update

Could you guys shed some light on this for me?? Bottom line is that if risks involved are a real possibility, I might as well leave the current firmware untouched and keep enjoying my the way I've been doing thus far.

Is there anybody willing to chime in?? Well, I can't say that I have upgraded the firmware in a piece of stereo equipment yet. I think it is a cool feature. If you can get 7. My thoughts: If you don't need those extra features right now, and feel uncomfortable, then wait.

I found a few posts on the internet complaining about this, but not as many as I would expect for something so obviously broken. My thinking was that perhaps there was some kind of firmware update that would fix whatever workarounds Denon had to do to get the unit out the door.

Sure enough, I found this thread on the AVS forums. This firmware update was a bit of a challenge as it requires a DB9 serial cable. Conclusion: The Denon firmware fixed the problem.

I can only speculate that the 3. The is HDMI 1. Previously when I tried this, I would get no sound from the Denon as expected. So clearly the firmware update has changed the HDMI behaviour.
