Since I never had the need for it before, today I updated my 975 to software version 5.3 to see if that would resolve my FLASH UPD issue. The 975 verifies that it is now at version 5.3. Unfortunately, still no audio.

I am able to get the 975's OSD display on my TV and have returned all settings to the way they were before the software update.

I initially got no video through the 975, but that seems to have revolved itself.

I get no sound from any source on my 975 - tuner, cable, etc. I am able to see video on my TV (and can watch HD OTA on the TV and hear it using TV speakers, but of course the 975 is completely out of that loop).

The 975 constantly scrolls FLASH UPD. When I change input sources it scrolls FLASH UPDATE START, but then returns to FLASH UPD.

Is my 975 toast? Any help appreciated.

Regards, Jim
