Thought I'd let everyone know that I purchased the Feature update last week. I checked last night and there was already another Firmware release since last week. I ran it and it seems to have fixed some of the BASS related issue in Dynamic EQ. ( NOTE: My bass was sounding really low, with a lot of BOOM ) I like it loud, but it was annoying the way it was set up. Sounds alot better with the latest firmware and recalibrated Audessy.

That bass issue has been mentioned on AVSForum threads. Glad to hear it has been fixed.

With certain Denon models (3808 for example) you can buy new features. The first in the line up is Audyssey's dynamic volume and dynamic equalizer. Oh, it also gives you Rhapsody and Sirius support. This is for people who purchased it prior to Sept 1st. If you buy it now, or after 9/1, you get the new features for "free."

The 3808/4308/5308 have network connectivity and firmware updates/upgrades are available from time to time. Right now the 3808 has an upgrade to include some new features that are now avaialable for the 2309/2809. Those uf us with older 3808s can buy these new features and install them over the network link. if you spent the big bucks on the 5308 the upgrades are free as are the firmware updates for all 3 models. Please note the difference between upgrade and update, the updates fix bugs etc., the upgrades are adding new features.

Was the firmware update released only to fix problems for those who had purchased the feature upgrades, or is it an update that applies for all?

I think the firmware update was mainly to allow you to upgrade your unit with the new features... but I never did see a list of items updated so perhaps we are missing out on some kind of bug fix or something.

The updates did fix some issues. So while 1.95 (I think that's the one) was required to support the feature upgrade, there were other fixes as well. The first post of: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=995566Has them listed.

Thanks Hansang... I always forget to check there. Things are running well for me... I think I'll avoid the upgrade for now until I run into a problem that needs fixing.
