Re: New version of Setup for Marantz RC5000/ RC5000i (Pronto?)

["Mike Huggins" <mikeh@xxxxxxx>]

You should be able to get the "upgrade" through to it. I would
suggest using
the OLDER version. I sell these and have seen a few units with defective
flash. I have managed to bring all but 1 back to life. It can take a few
goes at the upgrade with sporadic reset pressing. I think the max was 6
attempts.
