Yeah, not really the preferred way to arrange for some extended listening sessions. On the bright side, the speakers are on their stands and everything is set up so I can kick back and enjoy the system while my bone mends. I can feed DVD's and CD's to the 983H, Blu-rays to the BD30, and even HD-DVD's to the HD-A2. We've even got an old Dell laptop with a wifi card so I can surf from the couch or the rocking chair.
