Just plugged my new 85 into the mains and ethernet port to make sure all is working before I go ahead with swapping this out with my 72.

Installed the software that comes with it and one of the options is to check for updates to the receiver and or the software it's self.

The software is up to date but an update to the receiver was available to download, I have downloaded said update and extracted it to a folder.

I cannot find anything on Pioneer's website or anything in the zip file to say what it does, can anyone at WHFI shed any light on this before I complete the update.

translated from a German  forum

 

Firmware: My LX85 says "no update", but the AVNavigator has found one! After untzippen called the thing "AVR_12_0202.mem" .. I do not know yet what that is for an update, I'll look at me the times

EDIT: After I had packed on the SD CARD, and tried to update via USB, it says to me "is the same as you've got" So no update - I would have also wondered if the AV is not the Internet, but the comic AVNavigator SW

Thanks v1c, I have not had much time these last few days to find out anything myself.

I will probably leave this alone and just set the amp up at the weekend.

I have just used the option from the amp menu and this says it is up to date, so I will leave it alone.

Still setting the amp up.
