Just to confuse everybody AOR have released firmware Version 2205A for BOTH the DV-1 and DV-10, so beware of mix ups !

Doesn't seen to be anything in it that will benefit my DV-1, so im not updating. Basically in their own words an update we won't notice.

I wonder what they mean by added support, can anyone understand what this added support is?

This simply means that the newest firmware will work with all existing versions of the LCD screen. Because of the shortage of components, AOR probably had to use a different source for their LCD screens. Likely the firmware had to be tweaked to accommodate idiosyncrasies between the newer and older screens, and now the firmware will "support" both the newer and older versions of the screen.

Units with newer LCD versions came with 2205A software pre-installed out of the box. They just made it public to others (who don't need it). The only reason to install it on an older device is the possibility that they have secretly fixed some other bugs (and refuse to admit that the bug ever existed).

What do the think the score was with the firmware version 2203A which has never been publicly released or commented on by AOR ?

I guess we will just have to wait for the "jury to come in" from those who installed it into older units to see if any improvements or deficiencies were noted. I would think that if other improvements were made for older units and not related to the display, AOR would have touted those.

They advertise new features and improvements, but will remain silent in the event of bug fixes to avoid admitting that a bug has ever been there

 

[Tom07]

Might work ok, might cause other bugs, or might be a big bag of air with nothing of any difference. The way AOR secretly does things these days, you would thing we're dealing with the CIA or MI6

 

[Tom07]

I take it nobody updated their firmware?

We are waiting for you to do it
