[un4gvn94538]

thought this was worthy of its own thread so its known.
got this email today:

Thank You for contacting Onkyo USA Product Support.

At this current time we have updates for the DTS MA. The DTS MA update you have a choice to bring it into the service or you can do it yourself. Knowing that you have registered the unit you can go to the link below to download the zip folder and the instructions on how to perform the update. To locate a service center you would go to our website and go to Support and then to Dealer/Service locator to find a local service center. You would provide the service center a copy of the sales receipt so that the service center knows that the unit is under warranty.

3. the download is for the DSP updates only
4. the DSP appears to be the same as the European update, filename and size are identical.
5. there is no download to upgrade the firmware to 1.08 released by Onkyo USA to the public (yet).

to use your ps3 as a cd player to update the dsp:

makes sure its set to use the optical output for sound, tick only 44.1khz pcm. then in the music settings menu make sure "44.1khz/88.2khz/176.4khz" is selected and not the other option (48khz). make sure bitmapping is also off.
