My recorder was built in November 2002 and I heard the stories about image push and timer recording problems etc. on the early 985's.

The only thing ive noticed mine does is that it has the problem where to select a DAY (for weekly recording) in the Timer recording setup you have to do an odd maneuver of switching to DATE mode,roll back or roll forward and each date you roll forward changes the DAY when you go back to DAY mode. You cant just change the days when they are showing.

Other than that,it records on time (not hours off),it doesnt seem to have the image push through the progressive outputs,and otherwise functions normally.

How do I know whether I need firmware updating and which one I have?
