iLO DVDRHD04 Updated Firmware

[belder]

Has anyone noticed that today the firmware for the iLo DVDRHD04 has changed? Go to ilohelp.com and click on the download button.

The date for the firmware is the same, but the file is different. Last Thursday it was WMJA1178.d20 and today it's WMJA1185.DS2.

I've just installed it. Any idea what it does. I still notice audio dropouts at the exact same place.

ILo DVDRHD04 PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS
From time to time, iLo DVD Recorders will need to be enhanced with updated firmware that provides additional functionality, device stability and product capabilities. These product enhancements may be performed in your own home and at your leisure.

For iLo DVDRHD04 models only, the following firmware is ready to be downloaded from the iLo website (www.ilohelp.com). This latest version of firmware (WMJA1185.DS1) provides these product enhancements:

-Provides enriched audio playback for DTS (Digital Theater Surround)
environments

-Provides superior audio compatibility with other players for titles copied from the Hard Disk Drive to the DVD disc

-Facilitates a security feature that disables all function keys until the Recorder
powers up and reaches “Ready” state

-Allows copied titles (from the DVD disc) to be merged with recorded titles (Hard Disk Drive) to create one larger recording session. Each file format (Copy and Record titles must be of the same recording mode, i.e. HQ to HQ AND must reside on the Hard Disk before the merge file process can be initiated).

If you have any questions regarding the setup, installation or operation of the iLo DVDRHD04 DVD Recorder, please feel free to contact our 7/24 Customer Support staff at the toll-free number 866-ILO-DVDR (866-456-3837).
