And I am really worried about all thse posts. I know there are a lot of users that have no issues (which comforts me) but still, I feel like it will be a lucky draw whether I get a lemon or not.
Congratulations on your purchase. That receiver definately is a monster!! I wouldn't worry about all of the bug reports. Even if you do get a malfunctioning unit, as long as you bought from an authorized dealer you should have no problems.
PLEASE post back once you get everything hooked up. I would very much like to hear what your impressions of the unit are. Just out of curiosity, did you listen for the dreaded hiss while at your dealer or did you ask your dealer about it?
Thanks, I actually never listened to it. I listened to the 763 and I absolutely loved it. decided to go for the grandaddy as the price wasn't that much more. No hissing on the 763.
