I agree it should support it, but the whole CE industry has always been driven by forced obsolence. I am not holding my breath that the 805 and other receivers sold over the last couple of years support 3D over HDMI.

Before getting too worried about 3D support I think we should wait and see how quickly 3D is adopted in the consumer market. Right now there is talk of a couple of 3D channel and some BD-3D players but other than some exclusive pack-ins there really is no other BD software. I have a feeling most of the studios are going to try and use 1-BD SKU, aka a single 2D/3D version of a disc, to force higher BD prices much like the studios have used theatrical 3D to increase ticket prices 30 to 40%.

If they pull that BS, then they can keep their 3D. Personally I really don't care if 3D makes it in the home yet or not.

Toknowshita, you made some VERY valid points. The whole EDID situation has been the bane of many enthusiasts' existence in recent years. (Just ask a lot of early 805 owners with legacy Panasonic projectors, for instance.) So yes, that could indeed throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing.

I fear you may be correct regarding the studios and what they may have planned regarding BD SKUs. And if so, consider me among those who'll be sitting it out as well. I doubt we'd be alone...especially in this sucko economy.

"1.4 HDMI 3D" is a misnomer. Again, HDMI v1.3a receivers won't be able to pass-thru 4K video signals or Ethernet/Audio Return channel-via-HDMI, but 1080p 3D shouldn't be a problem provided the cable used is high-bandwidth/high-speed rated. (BTW, the HDMI chart on Wikipedia isn't completely accurate regarding 3D via 1.3a/b/c and 1.4.)

No doubt, HD 3D will require a lot of bandwidth, so it's imperative that the cable be up to the task. But a v1.3 receiver that meets official HDMI specs should have no problem passing 1080p 3D signals, as 3D does not require the use of Ethernet/Audio return channel.

Lastly, it should be noted that all PS3 consoles will be retrofitted for Full HD 3D capability via firmware update this summer. The PS3 utilizes HDMI v1.3.

Thanks for clearing up some of this confusion. Your info matches with a letter from Blue Jeans Cables on this subject, that I just received today.
So hopefully our beloved RXs will last abit longer.
I have attached the letter if anybody wants to read it

PS I am not going to worry about it until I get a new player and TV and that won't be for at least 2 years.
I just want to watch and listen to a (blu-ray)movie in peace, enjoy and move onto the next one
LOL

The dongle he is speaking of is a special one made for the x05 series. We didn't need it for x06 series.

Hello, I am trying to download the TX-SR875 firmware update, but unfortunately all the links to Rapidshare I have found are dead. I would like to start out with 1.04 or 1.05 and then later proceed to 1.09 if possible. Would someone PM or E-mail me if they have these files available? Thanks a million!

Find any post by TSpeer and look for the link in his signature. It is still valid.

Thank you very much and an even bigger Thanks to TSpeer for posting such a complete listing of files in his .iso image. I learned alot about my receiver yesterday and how to do quite a few things with my laptop as well. It was an incredibly rich learning experience. For the most part my complete makeover went off without a hitch. I am now running main FW 1.08, have the latest DSP, and upgraded HDMI to 1.02. The somewhat frustrating thing is that none of this fixed my issue. However, late last night I found the problem. All outputs via HDMI from my Oppo were at very low volume, and source would not detect any kind of formatting, THX, DTS, etc... Via optical cable all was well. Turned out somehow, the output settings on my Oppo were changed from "Raw" to PCM and this was causing the problem. I am not sure how this happened. Maybe due to prolonged down time. I was gone on a very long four month trip and unplugged everything from the wall as I live in Florida with lots of lightning. Thanks again for the assistance!

Neither bitstream nor PCM should have been a problem for the receiver. Your Oppo has a button on the remote that controls the volume output of the component (designed for level matching to other components). It's a good chance that somewhere along the line the button was accidentially hit multiple times, which could explain your low output.

Glad to hear you got it working

I only check this thread once every couple months, but if the rapidshare link should ever stop working send me a PM and let me know. I do not plan to ever delete it, unless I update the iso again (don't see much need for that to ever happen). The previous version of the iso before adding the hdmi 1.02 had over 1600 downloads when I removed that and replaced it with this one, which currently shows 607 downloads. And there were a couple revisions prior to these which were probably another 600 downloads combined.

That's alot of satisfied customers :P

TX-SR705 early adopter. I have successfully updated my DSP fw...

Original fw versions;

Main 1.01/07618A,
DSPS8051: 07618A,
DSPS8052: 07518A,
DSPS8053: 07518A,
HDMI 1.00/07517A,
VD: 3.58/07609A

Current fw versions;

Main 1.01/07618A,
DSPS8051: 08214A,
DSPS8052: 07518A,
DSPS8053: 07820B,
HDMI 1.00/07517A,
VD: 3.58/07609A

Latest known versions;

Q1. Is it correct that I cannot update my Main firmware from V1.01 without a Jig?
Q2. Given that I have a serial cable, but no Jig, can/should attempt to update any of the Main, HDMI, or Video firmwares?
Q3. If the Jigs are needed, are they available somewhere, even if for a fee?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hello,

I've recently purchased a 805 receiver with the early firmware that never got upgraded by the previous owner. I would like to perform an upgrade and need a jig/dongle for this operation. Are any of those still around? I'm willing to provide a reasonable deposit.

Thank you in advance,
Igor

Just so that others know - I do still have dongles for the deposit system. I am shipping one out to vamerike on Monday.

The details on the deposit system are here:

I am still trying to create a jig as well (for 605 owners), but I have been extremely busy and have not been able to get to it unfortunately .

Hi,
I've an Onkyo TX-NR 906.
I would like to upgrade the main firmware to the 1.04 (is it the right last one ?) and the dsp.
I've got a laptop pc with windows 7, without RS232 connexion.
Which cable RS232 => USB will be recognized by windows 7 and will do the upgrade ?
If any cable would go and will find the right com port ?
Tks for your help

The most commonly recommended brand is Keyspan. This was mostly for people looking for an adapter compatible with Vista. I would hope that it would also work under Win7.

Are you trying to move in on my lucrative dongle business

Seriously though, I'm glad to see someone offering their dongle up. So many of them go completely missing which is why I am only doing the deposit system now.

Does anyone have any firmware for an RC180?

I bricked mine by not reading the instructions first and would prefer not putting my unit in the hands of ups. Its stuck at a "MMPU Setting" screen.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have purchased a second hand NR906, it comes with the 1.01 firmware. I can't seem to find the newer firmwares, and that includes Googleing Thai sites Also, TSpeer's .iso works only with x05 models, from what I understand.

I have already had the issue with scaling analog PAL sources (576i)

May someone drop me a PM so I can forward him a private email address please?

Thanks in advance
