besteiro.... November 8th, 2012
Satisfied customer (eventually)!
Out of the box I had big trouble in getting the unit to communicate with a Humax freesat box. Eventually had to pull the plug on the unit and start again....hey presto it worked.However more frustration with the Net function, I could not get any connectivity. Eventually did a firmware upgrade (from VER 1.08 to VER 1.14) followed the instructions to the letter using the USB function. The upgrade froze at one point (at 11%) so had to follow the Troubleshooting CASE 2 instructions and was rewarded with an 'UPDATE SUCCESS' notification.
However when I tried to use the remote I got a message 'REM ID MISMATCH'. Next I had to reset the remote as per the Troubleshooting instructions to resolve this issue.
Finally when the unit was switched on the NET function worked immediately.
This is my first delve into AV amps and the surround sound experience and after the above teething problems I am happy with the amp and the quality of the surround sound. I have posted this review in case others have experienced the same problems.
