Just thought I would keep a current confirmed feature list for the 978 so it is easy to find. If I missed something, let me know and I'll add it...
- 5 Fast Switching HDMI 1.4a inputs with 23D capability and audio return
- 2 HDMI 1.4a Outputs
- Balanced and unbalanced amplifier outputs
- Dual sub capability
- Audyssey MultEq XT32
- “State-of-the-Art” DACs on all channels
- Phono Preamp Input
- USB Firmware updates
- Audyssey Volume
- Anchor Bay Video Processing
- No network connectivity

1.I think you meant 3D capability
2. Instead of Dolby volume we will have the Audyssey equivalent.

I'm curious if all 5 of the HDMI inputs will be on the back, or 4 in back and 1 in front?

If this ends up being the ESS sabres, and the unit has an asynchronous USB input to get computer based audio into it, I am in.

Hey guys, new to this forum. Any ideas of what this will look like or any pre-production pictures yet? I would love to see some pictures soon!

Also a new registrant- although I've been creeping for a few months. Do we know anything about two zone support? If that is part of the feature set then I will continue to wait. Otherwise the Marantz 7005 is an awfully sweet piece of gear.

The 990 had zone 2 support, and it's a popular feature, so I'd be surprised if it was not included this time.
