There are numerous threads on the subject at AVS, including links to the firmware and instructions on how to perform them.

There's actually supposed to be a way to download the instructions and update directly from Onkyo once you register your receiver, but I couldn't find the link on my own. I did eventually download directly from Onkyo, but I had to follow a link someone placed in the AVS 805 thread...never did figure out how they found it.

BTW, you don't need to burn an ISO image, it's a wav file that you "play" via an optical port...you just create an audio CD from the files. I haven't bothered to do it yet since I don't have a bitstreaming player. If your source decodes DTS-HD MA internally to LPCM, then you don't have to worry about it. DTS has also changed their authoring software so that titles mixed after a certain date won't trigger the "bomb" even on unpatched receivers.

And yes, the firmware update will wipe out *ALL* of your settings. You'll need to reassign inputs, enter any custom input labels you used, program radio stations presets, rerun Audyssey, etc..
