I purchased this unit about a month ago at Best Buy. When I got home it was relatively easy to set up out of the box. After I powered it up I was very pleased with the sound I had coming out of the system; I have a 7.1 setup in my apartment using o

"Very sleek and sounds great."

I am happy I made the purchase. It looks wonderful in our living room on the A/V rack I built and really produces a very pleasant sound quality. I look forward to years of use. With respect to this firmware discussion, I have nothing to say or com
