...have begun!

We are happy to report that we have begun shipping reservation orders for our Model 975 AV Processor. Please understand that it will take us a little while to get through all of the reservations. Therefore, we request that you do not call and ask us where you are in the queue...truth be told, it really will slow us down!

Once your reservation order ships, we will email both your invoice and your tracking numbers so that you'll know when to anticipate delivery. Until then, have a great weekend and holiday season!

OH Happy Day....

I got mine this morning!!

Got mine also. Been too busy watching and listening to post anything.

I played a bit with the video scaling trading off my Panasonic Blu-Ray with the 975 scaling and got to where I thought I had noticable improvment. I asked the boy if he thought the picture looked better with the new system and he said "No, it doesn't look better, just clearer". So there it is.

The sound is crystal clear also. I've spent more time enjoying than evaluating. The system has been on about 7 hours straight. I've probably got time for a couple more movies tonight. Will post more later.

Got mine as well but had to work so not much time to play yet.
Set up basically is about all.

Hi guys, the web browser kept locking up on me yesterday, so if some kind soul can delete my extra posts, I'd appreciate it...

I unboxed the 975, it looks very nice, sleek and classy...

I'm connecting everything later today, I'll drop back by with my thoughts and comments.

mine will be here friday :toot:

Saw EEman's detailed feedback in his other thread, but no one else seems to have made any comments.

What do you guys think of your 975s so far?

The unit sounds great and VERY simple to use. The video signal is exceptional! The build quality is excellent - it looks very similar to an NAD or Cambridge Audio platform.

Two minor issues:
1) I'm having a grounding problem (hum in front speakers). I only get when the HDMI signal is routed thru the 975. I hate to use the old "cheater-plug" trick with my surge unit, but I may have to.
2) The 975 is restricting the volume some how. When I turn the 975 all the way to max, it's not as loud as it should be. I'm hoping a simple setting - I could not find.
I'm going to contact Scott on Monday. I'm hoping both simple fixes.

Is the HDMI issue the same for any of them (BD, STB), or is it maybe just from an HTPC? Does the power amp use a grounded power cord?

When you calibrated the speakers, where did the gain trims come out? Are there any that are very low? Might seem silly, but could try shifting all of them up by 6 dB to see if that helps.
