Downloaded the update and burned it to a disc (I used Windows Media Player even though the instructions recommended not to, I couldn't figure out how to avoid that). My CD (DVD) player is hooked up via coax so I can't use it, does anyone know if I can use the Xbox 360 CD Player function to update my 605?

I know some kind of firmware update came out for 605, but it was supposedly older models. Mine came up as not needing the update when I checked the site.

It's BS sending it back to Onkyo, or bringing it to a dealer, they should have clear instructions on updating it, can't be that difficult.

this update isnt even listed on the onk site. the update on the onk site for the 605 doesnt include the issue with the dts ma bitstream bomb. the units for these models including the 605 that are not affected are the ones that were mfg. recently.

I am getting my 805 tuesday do you think mine was affected by the bitstream bomb? Would it already have the new firmware or is it to new?

probably not affected but when you get it, register online and then check the instructions. it will tell you how to see the dsp versions and what its suppose to be after the update.

Guys just to be clear this is only a DSP update (Digital Signal Processor), there is actually another firmware update which can only be done through the RS 232 port, you can buy USB to RS 232 connectors.

You need to have the DSP update before you can do the Firmware update.

Just completed the update without issue. The longest part of the process was re-doing the set-up on the receiver since the update clears all user defined settings, including the Audyssey speaker config. In any case, the update was a success.
