Well... as it stands now, I just received a call from the pioneer rep handling my case saying that the repair shop did in fact talk to a technician who tried to walk them through the process to get my unit firmware upgraded but, now they decided that they needed to order a "ROM" upgrade or something of the sort and that won't be mailed out today. So tomorrow it will be mailed out and they should receive it probably beginning to mid next week. Once that is received the firmware upgrade process SHOULD take place accordingly and I should hopefully get my receiver back next week!
I feel a little silly when I keep telling everyone "Oh, it should be here next week..." weeks pass and I am still saying the same thing.
As comforting as it was to hear someone actually tell me what's happening AND to have some attempt to progress occur, I am still waiting and it will be probably a full 7 weeks before I receive it back. That's saying that I get it back by next Thursday, which, my luck standing still might not happen.
Oh well... still trudging along...
On another note I actually hooked the Left and Right analog outputs to my little 22" LCD on my entertainment rack so, now I can watch HD-DVDs on my projector while having SOME kind of sound coming out of my little TV!!
