Hi all,
After using 1070 receiver for about a month, I like it very much. It sounds clear, transparent, dynamic with good speaker separation. Overall sound is very good for both music and movie. There are many nice reviews about this receiver by users and professional. You can check them out. However, there is always room for improvement. Here is my wish list for the next receiver, just in case I buy a new one in the future.

My wish list:

- Take out Dolby Pro logic II Cinema, Music and Game since the receiver already have Dolby Pro logic IIx. The receiver should be able to output 5.1 or 7.1 signal based on the number of speakers that is set in the menu.

- Take out 5 channel stereo and 7 channel stereo and replace with one "all channel stereo" label. Again, receiver should put out signal based on the number of speakers that is set in the menu.

- Inputs in the back of receiver should label from 1 to 8 and user can assign the label for each input or set as "skip input". In that case, user does not have to scroll through 8 inputs when only 3 are in use. I've seen it is done in the menu of Sony XBR2 HDTV. There should be at least two DVDs and two CDs labels rather than just one for each.

- Firmware can be updated directly by using USB 2.0 flash drive, no need for cable, laptop, or desktop computer.

- No need for a power switch in the back. User can turn off the system by unplug it.

- Higher output 75 watts/channel rather than 65 watts/channel (it is never hurt to have a little more power). Hope that it does not drive up the cost.

- Have HDMI connector for HDTV rather than DVI. It is crazy to use DVI connector. All new HDTV have HDMI, not DVI!

- Faster start up and response when switching between inputs.

- Having ability to wakeup a subwoofer by sending a signal to subwoof when system is turned on. The signal needs to be short and strong enough to wake up the subwoofer without creating any audiable sound.

- Crossover for speakers is in 10 Hz increment rather than 20 Hz.

- MUST KEEP: A GOOD SOUND QUALITY OVERALL FOR MUSIC AND MOVIE.

This wish list is based on my limited usage and knowledge about this receiver. Feel free to add more in. I hope that someone in Outlaw read this list and think about it for their next model.

Thanks all,
Think Green.
