    I'm still rather new to a/v stuff but I am a huge fan of the on-screen interface. I've only ever dealt with boxes where you had to look at the small LCD display. This guy will even auto tune your speakers for you with consideration of your room and placement. The passive speaker bar I had been using for over a year sounds SO much better now. I bought this during a sale and it was an open box. By the way, this was an unusually good open-box deal. Maybe BB is being a bit more generous with these.
