Well, well, well. I have been skeptical to cautiously optimistic regarding the 976 and this is very exciting news. I've got a green light to spend a bunch of money from the household budget to upgrade the family HT. That includes a new TV/monitor (55" or maybe a 65" LG OLED), new BluRay player (OPPO UDP-203), new Apple TV, a new Harmony remote, ISF calibration of the new TV and lastly the 976. All this hinges on the availability of the 976. I think I am going to begin studying the REW guide with the hope the 976 manual thoroughly describes how to use REW to optimize the 976.
