I just got mine today and considering how electronically challenged I am, I was amazed at how easy it was to set the unit up. the directions were great and easy to follow. I am only using the unit for theater sound but no matter what I played on what mode I was very happy with the result.There was a new-found richness to the sound field that was very pleasing to my ears, anyway. And DTS! My lord. It was the first exposure to it for me and I can't quite explain how wonderful it was. I watched the opening scene of Gladiator and sat there with my mouth agape. I had to turn down the volume because it was so, well, mammoth, I guess you could say. And I haven't even calibrated my speakers yet. The Outlaws should be proud of this unit. It is worth every penny.
