Released October, 2005
The Pros:Good range of connections, works well with legacy equipment. Remote is laid out logically, very comfortable to work with once you're used to it. Internet radio offers access to an extremely large collection of channels organized logically by locale.
The Cons:Difficult to set it up right, lots of little quirks. Won't play Microsoft Media Player 11 music until after a software update. No HDMI connections at all.
