There's a good manual on the LDG site, if you need it, I have it and it will 
tell you pretty much everything you need in the getting started section. I 
think it's a PDF file but if you want it, I can change it to what ever you 
want, with in reason. It's just saying it can be upgraded if there ever is 
an upgrade by replacing the chip, so far as I know there is no actual 
upgrade available for it. Actually though, most LDG equipment can have a new 
chip put in if there is an upgrade. I know I had when I had my amp, the old 
style LDg at-1000, and it was upgraded as close to the pro model as it was 
able to be, no hardware changes but some of the differences were obvious in 
how it did things, the manual I downloaded was a little off on things that 
the AT-1000 pro manual helped me with. That's all that is. Just letting you 
know it can be upgraded if they come out with an upgraded chip for it, or I 
suppose if someone wants to burn a chip for it, they need only know what 
chip it is and can get it to do any number of upgraded things.
