Despite the clear process, users frequently encounter pitfalls. The most common issue is the “Update Failed” message, often stemming from an unstable internet connection or a USB drive that was improperly formatted. For offline updating via USB, the drive must be FAT32-formatted, and the firmware file must be placed in the root directory—a step many novices miss. Another significant frustration is the “no update available” response from a unit that is clearly behind on versions. This usually occurs because the receiver’s region setting does not match the firmware server; for example, a unit purchased in Europe but used in Asia may not pull the correct file. Furthermore, some users report that after a successful update, their previous audio calibration settings (like channel levels and speaker distances) reset to factory defaults, forcing a tedious reconfiguration with an SPL meter and tape measure.
