R89-Hardware/Thermal/case issue feedback here

[goldenrod]

I installed this new 109k4108 rom by downloading it and changing the name to "update.img" and placing it on my micoSD card. I rebooted my R89 box and after the reboot, it asked me if I wanted to update. It did the update and now it is running this new firmware. Everything that was there prior to the update, is still there.

I couldn't get this method to work. I put the update.img on my MicroSD card and it found the update, but said it couldn't find it after rebooting.

Tested directly to reciever and to my suprice no audio! You should note I switched the cable after starting the video.

One word of caution, it is recommend to power off your equipment prior to connecting or disconnecting your HDMI cable.

Reciever only has 1 hdmi + 1 optical.

Wich I could find one of my av cables.

Will do log tomorrow as tv not available now and need to sleep as start work 6 am and it is almost 10 pm.

No chance to use a setup like this
R89 ->HDMI-> AVR ->HDMI-> TV
only to be sure nothings get wrong because of the disconnect...???

Then you can create the logcat per Oman's instructions......
thanks for the test.

yes, I am aware that you will have no video, but when you connect back to your tv, you could still create the logcat.

Why not necessary? Are you sure, that the TV isn't the part at this setup via ARC that forces that it works? I think it's not a bad idea to also test the way direct to the AVR...

Not necessary, the HDMI audio passthrough problem does not apply in your case. You are really just connecting your box into your TV.

I have this option on my tv when connecting through tv, with dolby activated I get 5.1 sound. Note tv will not passthrough DTS but DTS video surround files through tv:s usb player will output 5.1 DTS to my surround reciever (reciever sees audio as dts, a third dts option is visible in the same menu).

Tv:s netflix app also gives 5.1 dolby to surround reciever.

I could test connecting directly to surround system testing same file but will not have any video signal then.

Also, I have read that most tv's do not output true Dolby to the receiver as an audio passthrough. I have all my devices feeding into my receiver then the receiver feeds the video signal to the tv through HDMI.

see this link about this information.

Ok to be clear, you are NOT feeding your box into your receiver directly. You are connecting your box via HDMI into your TV, and from your TV into you receiver? correct? What does ARC to Philips mean?

Yes you are correct. AudioRerturnChannel HDMI cable from tv to surround system. That way I can control the volume with tv:s remote (CEC).

Do you mean that you have sound through your A/V receiver using the HDMI connection?? What brand and model is your receiver?
