If you decide to install this firmware, you really need to back up your memory entries as well as other data to the SD card before installing the new firmware, because the warning in the write up about the new firmware update stated that the memory architecture is changing (i.e. - they are stored differently) is really true!!

Also, there is a firmware update for the DV-10 and it has the same changes but there is no warning in the description of the firmware about doing the back up. The memory data is really corrupt after the update until you restore the memory information from the backup.

The owner's manual for both receivers mentions that you should backup your data.

Wondering why they choose to do this. This might also mess with the ARC DV-1 Pro and similar programming software, although I'm not sure how they send it to the device. I hope it will have benefits for DV1 users.

This update hopefully also means the product line will be supported for some time into the future. Too bad they didn't include more info in the changelog. Seems like a decent jump up in version number though. I will keep an eye on this topic for others review of the new firmware. And let's not forget.. Thanks AOR!

I did the update. My memories were untouched. Weird.
