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.
