Default Has anyone downloaded the latest H-K 7.8 software?

I just finished downloading the latest version (7.8) of software for the Harmon Kardon stereo. My SG was built 9/9/05 and I had the 6.8 version loaded on my H-K stereo.

I have not had any issues with the screen going blank or the CD/MP3 skipping but being that my software was obsolete I figured I couldn't go wrong by updating it.

It is too late to take it out on the road so I don't know what to expect (or not expect). For anyone who has downloaded version 7.8 from the H-D site do you know what it is for?

My dealer keeps telling me that their is a new download coming out that will de-sensitize the cd player. HK has developed it, just waiting for FCC approval. Anyone heard of this or is this download your talking about it? My cd player has the typical skipping, stopping problem.

I downloaded the software even though I had no problems that I was aware of. The only difference I noticed was when skipping songs on the CD. It used to take a few seconds for the next song to start playing. Now, it starts almost immediately.

Thanks for the post. I downloaded and installed it.
Don't know what it did, but at least I'm updated!
If anyone gets specifics on the update, please post them.
