"Great Product, Lousy Support"
Pros: Sound! Sound! Sound! HDMI upconversion, pretty GUI
Cons: Menu learning curve will frustrate most, poor support, zone 3 analog only???
Summary: 1st, the sound quality is the best i have heard at this level. Video upconversion also looked great. The only feature that I really was not happy with is the fact that only analog sources can be distributed to zones to and 3? In other words, if you plan to use this unit to power your deck speakers, or even just as the source of music for your deck speakers, you will need to use an analog connection (in addition to your new, expensive HDMI's you just bought)from your cable box, DVD player, Computer, etc. to the 2600). This is noted in just one paragraph, of 1 page of the extensive manual - and not exactly where you would expect to find it. I placed two calls to Yamaha, and 2 emails over the course of 3 weeks, before getting a response to my 2nd email. Their tech support was useless, and eventually I stumpled upon the answers by myself.
This unit is truly awesome - just plan on spending some time learning how it ticks.
