Any advantage to updating a Dolby CP500 from v1.31 to v1.61 in a non-EX system?

Not really. I just did this with mine. The level indicators on the front panel will not glitch as much. There are a few other little bug fixes, but nothing you will notice without EX (and version 1.61ex). If it is working fine I would leave it. If you are bored, go for it!

1.31 is pretty old circa 96?Along the way some features were added like auto digital which may or may not appeal to you (I don't remember if noise gating was available in 1.31 either but only really applies to THX houses).
I don't thing there is any harm in doing the upgrade on this one and 1.61 seems to be pretty stable thus far.

I used to have 1.31 and it did have auto digital. Or maybe I had 1.36 if there was such a thing. It was 1.3-somethin'.

Thanks for the responses.My current revisions feature auto-digital as well. As I'm a firm beleiver in the policy of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", I think I'll leave well enough alone.
