KL Unregistered guest | Hi, You may be interested to read the following e-mail reply I received from HK yesterday. Good morning, The upgrade for the AVR 430/630 will be available shortly and we wanted everyone to know specifically what has been included: 1. Dolby Pro Logic 2x This latest DSP mode from Dolby, provides back L/R surrounds for many different formats including DD 2.0, DD 5.1, DTS 5.1 and 5.1 analog inputs from an DVD-Audio/SACD player. Also an extensive control panel is available for further user refinement/adjusting including a Panorama and Width controls. Now the user will be able to have 7.1 soundfield from virtually all currently available popular digital software media and sources. 2. Dolby Virtual Speaker The additional modes of 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 have been included providing substantial choices available to the user. 3. Digital Polling Feature Now the user has been provided the options of turning this feature off by source input if desired. 4. DSP Bootup Time This has been improved by about 25% over the original version. Any further decrease in bootup time can cause certain audible byproducts such as pulses or noise spikes which can be hard and even damaging on connected loudspeakers. This is the best performance possible within its present hardware design. 5. Noise Pulse When Adjusting the Subwoofer Level With the DVD 22 This has been improved for the CD audio playback. Harman/Kardon will provide this at no charge to AVR 430/AVR 630 customers, whereas some competitors have charged as much as $100 for the upgrade of DPL 2x. The download is straightforward, takes about 1 hour and requires a Windows PC (OS of 98 SE or higher) with a Serial port, standard male/female DB9 Serial cable. I hope this helps. Best Regards, Vu Le Internet Support Specialist PS: If replying to this email, please include all previous correspondence. It is the only way I can keep up with your situation.
