Harman Kardon Avr 360 Firmware Update

Harman Kardon releases HDMI ane.4a upgrade for selected receivers

And just equally I was getting used to my HDMI 1.3a! Harman Kardon is releasing updates to its AVR2600,3600, and 7550HD receivers, enabling HDMI i.4a through a firmware upgrade.

"In order to meet the requirements for HDMI ver1.4a it is true that a combination of hardware and software specs must be met. The underlying hardware architecture of these models is configured in a manner that does not require any alter. Thus, simply updated software is required. The issue is different from one blazon of product to another (e.chiliad. AVR vs. Blu ray vs. Boob tube) as well as from one brand or model to some other. In some cases a hardware change is needed and a software upgrade is not sufficient, but in the case of these models (as well every bit some other products in the marketplace)" (Robert Silva example: Sony PS3) "new software and compliance testing is all that is needed."

What does this mean? Information technology ways these new receivers will be 3D-ready. Like the PS3 update, this update to HK receivers adds a fleck more juice to the receivers ability to decode Hard disk 3D content on the wing.
