Received my 1050 - 09/03/02 09:59 AM
I finally decided to buy the 1050 and have been enjoying the fabulous sound all weekend. It helped me make the best of a rainy labor day weekend.
At first I though the surround channels were not working very well however now I am convinced that the 1050 is doing a better job at decoding the surround channel signals. I think my old receiver sometimes played too much out of the surrounds. Did anyone else find a significant difference in what is played on the surround channels when compared to their old receiver ?
I would really like to have had a remote with at least some learning capability. I guess I need to look at the hacking sites and consider doing it or buy a universal remote. My Sony dvd player has a great button "repeat" which jumps back a few seconds. I use it all the time but I didn't find it on the universal remote when set to Sony.
