I've done this recently with my 561, and when it says to turn off then on again, it means using the switch on the rear of the speaker.

Although, I had a different issue with my DSP's (Access denied) but my 561 happily updated using that procedure.

Does everyone else do it this way? Or am I mistaken? Wiki Page for Mconfig makes no reference to turning off/on

Current: Nothing!
