I just got myself brand new 105. Is it vital or not that I immediately update the firmware?
From reading the various boards it would appear that I should, yet Pioneer's own site says it is not required..?
Or should I just start burning, see how it goes and if it aint broke, dont fix it!
For the record, I've made one coaster from one attempt, tho I think using a 4X Bulk Paq might have something to do with that..
Cheers Chaps :)

I never upgraded the firmware.

Works fine.

Don't let Oriphus pressure you into doing something you will regret later!

Thanks chaps, for the rather confusing advice!! :)

Is there anybody else who has upgraded their firmware and had a good or bad experience?

lol - Im not pressuring you. Im advising based on my own experiences. There have been known issues with upgrading the firmware, however, the site i provided you with gives you the opportunity to downgrade it again without any problems.

At the end of the day its your prerogative to upgrade.
