Re: Kenwood DDX512
I recently purchased the DDX512 as well. I downloaded the firmware from the kenwood site, decompressed it, burnt it to a dvd (because I didn't have any CDs to write to at the time) and threw it into the unit per the install instructions. It displayed "reading" for just a few seconds and then said "installing" I believe with a little bar indicating how much longer it had. I did see something somewhere about if it continues to say "reading" you can download the file again, burn it again and then try it again... not sure what that would accomplish, but worth a try. At least you know that it is an acknowledged problem for what that's worth.
I have been pretty happy with the unit as well. There have been some random quirks that have come up where it won't let me do something and i hit a bunch of seemingly random buttons and it will let me all of a sudden. Loading a custom background was one instance. It wouldn't let me for the first day or so and after playing with it all of a sudden I was able to load a new image. Unfortunately, I have no idea what it was that I did!
