I think it's time for a Little rant,
I find a lot of really expensive A/V processors quite annoying, why is this you may ask, aren't they the answer to my dreams? Well no, not completely.
The reason for my annoyance is the labeling of the inputs.
Over time I have owned a small number of A/V processors and am almost always disappointed with the input labelling, Does anybody out there have equiptment which actually matches all the labelled inputs on their processor?
For Example:
Included in my setup I have a record player, a computer and two VCR's which even a Lexicon MC1 can't accomodate without using the wrong labelled inputs. Why should I have to select V-disc (or some other wrong input) on the remote/faceplate to listen to my LP's?, it's confusing.
I know this is a small quibble, and that the sound is worth it, but surely if your paying up to several thousand pounds for your processor it ought to be able to match your equiptment.
Does it annoy anybody else?? Should manufacturers take note?
