Beginning in September, Harman Kardon will make a running change to three of its four existing AVRs to upgrade them to HDMI 1.4a from HDMI 1.3. They also plan offer consumers a software download to upgrade their existing AVRs to 1.4a.
The consumer-installable firmware upgrade will be available at www.harmankardon.com at no charge to current owners. Consumers must download the software to a USB memory stick, insert the stick into their AVR's front-panel USB jack, and use the AVR's remote to navigate through onscreen instructions to install the upgrade. No direct connection between the PC and AVR is needed. http://www.smarthouse.com.au/Real_Sound/Receivers/G3U7R8T8
