Headache central Bought this for sole purpose of control4 features and was heavily disappointed in its numerous zigbee crashes and the C4 driver is very limited. February 25, 2013
1 zone or 2? Pandora will not play on zone 2 when you listen to different source on zone 1. No volume feed back on tv screen when using Hdmi inputs?? how about no volume feed back on the front of the Sony to make it really interesting. Fix these two limitations and you have a great receiver. November 15, 2012
