I bought a Onkyo 605 receiver when it came out and just recently went to the onkyo website and noticed that there was a firmware available for this model. My unit seems to qualify for this update. Does anybody know what the firmware update consists of?

This update affects only a limited number of early production TX-SR605 units. Onkyo has included this update in all later production models.To determine if your unit is one of the few affected units please enter the 10 digit product serial number below.

If your unit is eligible for this update, it will be done free of charge. You must follow the instruction on this and the following pages to receive the prepaid return mailing label. Units received without this label will not be processed.

We wish you many years of enjoyment with your TX-SR605 and its HD capabilities.

Thank You. Too bad I won't be able to take advantage of it with my HD-A20.

for those requiring the file, i received a firmware update file along with instructions from a UK avforum member and applied it to my 605. whether the file is the same for the US version could not be verified, but i went ahead and updated with it anyway. i now get the little TrueHD and DD+ lights to come on.
i went to Onkyo and entered my serial number two weeks ago and they still have yet to respond with what to do and where to go from here. they claim they will email you a fed ex label to return, but as stated, have yet to get an answer. so if anyone should need the firmware update and instructions, feel free to pm me.

Oh man I am not feeling good...

I just tried to do the update with my HD-A2 and never got anything more than "S/PDIF Update..." so after 10 minutes I powered off and back on. When I checked the DSP version it said "????.????." or something close to that. My heart sunk, my throat swelled, and blood rushed to my head! There was no sound from any source. I just got this thing today already I funked it up!

On the A-2 I had it set Digital Out SPDIF to Bitstream and Digital Out HDMI to Auto.

After realizing the version was ???? I powered off and removed power completely. When it came back on it would play analog audio from Game source and I thought it had reset, but it still does not have audio from anything digital. Can anyone please help me? I have tried again with HD-a2 set to PCM and no change. Is there a way to do a factory reset? Thanks in advance.

Why can't I leave well enough alone?

Update:
I held down VCR/DVR and pressed Standby until it said "Clear" and shut off. I removed power completely, then restored and powered on. Crossing my fingers, I think everything is fine now, but I still have the old firmware.
