I was thinking of upgrading to the yammy 6190, I was reading around the net and came across stuff like upgrading software. how do you do this? unhook your receiver or dvd player and somehow connect it to your computer an download what ever upgrade there is.

I updated the firmware on my HTR-6090 last year. There are detailed instructions on the Yamaha website. But as I recall, I had to download firmware and burn it on a CD (did this on my computer through Yamaha web site). Then I put CD in my CD/DVD player that is attched to my HTR-6090 and used a special power on sequence to start the firmware update. It's not a very difficult procedure once you have the instructions. Good luck.....

Firmware updates are usually to fix a problem that was not caught before a product was released.
If I'm not mistaken the 6190 is the Canadian HTR version of the RX-V1800. (??)So there is a firmware update available.
But it is only meant to fix problem with Blu Ray movies. It unfortunatly won't turn your receiver into a RX-Z11.
You can get it on Yamaha's website. The instructions come with the zip file.
