Shonky* Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 75 pounds makes it about A$170. A bit more than US$100 (A$130).
50mxe20 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 75 pounds makes it about A$170. A bit more than US$100 (A$130).That's ok.Just the Singapore bit that has me wanting to be careful.

I'm about to pull the pin on a 4308/3808 from KEC. It would seem the firmware for Asia Pac receivers is the probably the same as European receivers. I would guess the procedure is the same for a Singapore import... When I talk to KEC (maybe today) I'll ask.

Yes bought off a well respected forum member who did the updates to date with no issues.I'm just a bit more conservative. Especially after the norpus experience.

DarrenW Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Still nothing from APG I guess?cheers APG says to register at the Denon.co.uk site. I've done that, but haven't received an email reply as yet. When you register, it asks what country you are in. It might be the portal for all of Europe(and us Aussies!) Regards, Darren
50mxe20 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I registered twice with two email addresses. One for Australia and one for Singapore.
uforia Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I registered also, if anyone hears anything post it up
Procrastinator Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) It would be much more comforting if Denon updates could be done via PC to USB, i might try doing a search for this type of solution and who knows i may find a free copy of the Latest update for dynamic volume ..... wishful thinking...... EDIT: just had a bit of a search and USB downloads are a no go, but i came across this site http://www.hometheaterspot.com/fusionbb/sh.../post/last/m/1/ with those who have got the new update and seem very pleased with the new dynamic EQ and volume despite the usual update issues.. Edited October 3, 2008 by Procrastinator
Guest Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I was told Denon wont allow there firmware to be downloaded on there site.But its definitley something we all want. there firmware update are not exactly the best. Sometimes it can mess things up.
MACCA350 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I just ran an update check with the 3808 and it says there is an update available(75min estimate)..........I thought I was already up to date since I updated about 2 months ago. Has there been another update, apart from this Audyssey one, since? cheers
Guest Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I just found out us AVP owners might be getting this upgrade for free.
norseman Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Still nothing from APG I guess?cheers this was the APG response...
MACCA350 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I just found out us AVP owners might be getting this upgrade for free.And so you should .............and so should we cheers
Guest Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 And so you should .............and so should we cheers To be honest we should all get it for free. The Americans did.
blairy Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) I just ran an update check with the 3808 and it says there is an update available(75min estimate)..........I thought I was already up to date since I updated about 2 months ago.Has there been another update, apart from this Audyssey one, since? cheers Yes, came out in the last week or so. I updated mine last Sunday and 75 mins is about the mark. Once finished though, when you go to feature update section there are downloads ready to go (once paid for). Now just need to know how to pay for them. Edited October 3, 2008 by blairy
blairy Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Manual for upgrades is now available on US Denon website Upgardes Manual Addendum Denon US My feature update page in AVR menu only features three of these updates. We won't be getting rhapsody nor sirius.
MACCA350 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Here's how it looks: USA owners: AVP & 5808 - free All others purchased on or after 1/9/08 - free All others purchased on or before 31/8/08 - US$100 UK & AU owners: According to the UK website........All owners - UK$75(AU$170) One of the us guys baught his at 6pm 31/9/08.............as you could imagine he's quite pi$$ed.............I mean why the cut off date? were people who purchased after that date charged an extra US$100 at point of sale? NO, so why not just make it available to all the owners? What this means is if your in the US and purchase now you get all this update either already loaded or free to update, wonder if it's the same here in Oz............that's nice, it's almost like Denon are giving us the birdie. I don't mind paying for an increase in performance like this.......but...........it's a slap in the face when they don't make it across the board for all owners, especially within the same series...........not happy Jan cheers Edited October 4, 2008 by MACCA350
Shonky* Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I assume that's actually: USA owners: AVP & 5808 - free All others purchased on or after 1/9/08 - free All others purchased on or before 31/8/08 - US$100 (no 31st September anyway... )
