Hi, I just bought a complete secondhand beomaster 7000 system and this niftly av7000 unit came with it.....
Right now I use this one as just an extra controller for my beomaster (which is in another room) . The dolby surround is a very nice feature, though not up to the expected high-end standard of 2008. However for a condo dweller like me it's sounding way better than my 2 year old pioneer dvd all-in-one unit ever did. It connects very simply through datalink and powerlink and is controlled easily by beo4 remote. I plan on using it as a home theater sound processor (I do have 4 beolab 4000 speakers) further to giving me full controll of my beomaster 7000... what more can you ask for .....
However the stb controller is totally useless (I've tried .....) and will be ripped out. Or maybe it's possible to replace it with either an updated version of the original (made by a co named amx in texas usa????) or by an external stb control system....
Anyways...I find this a usefull unit and I consider it an extention of my full beomaster 7000 system. Oh, and it just looks cool as well....
Kindest regards,
Giz.
