I got one of these a couple of weeks ago and found it really confusing to setup - I work as a programmer and I used to run an IT department. Once you figure everything out its got a lot of great features though, you can connect to it with an ipad/iphone or wirelessly with a separate dongle, and you can stream from a home server or built in internet radio stations. Bottom line, I like it, but I am thinking of returning it for something easier to use. The menus and remote are not user friendly and are a deal killer for me.
I totally agree with this comment. Setup is very confusing. But once I "got it" it was good. You have to think about this receiver as really being two receivers ... zone 1 and zone 2 ... which are hooked up and operate fairly independently. The remote is VERY confusing. Having said that, the Iphone/Ipad/Android app is great. And once I figured out everything, the system is great. Love the internet radio capability. The GUI that comes up on the TV is ok .. .could be better ... I have a Samsung upstairs that does not have a GUI and I really appreciate what this system offers.
I would buy it again.
Bought mine from New Egg for 299. 300 is a good price.
