    The 5600 was a great AVR for the day (1996).  It cost be a bundle too!!  Now in my garage.  Ouch.

    I only curse it when:

    – Harmony remote gets out of sync with on/off.  There is no discrete IR for on/off.

    – Whenever I have to configure the digital audio input assignments.  You have to have it hooked to a TV (composite video) to change most of the configuration items and in my current garage setup it is audio only.   I have a relatively long RG6 cable that I screw on some RCA adapters to and run across the hood of my car over to the TV temporarily to make these sorts of adjustments.

    – Whenever I have to move it.  The darn thing is heavy!

    – So far, it doesn’t seem to output anything to the sub output for normal stereo sources over SPDIF.  I’m not yet sure what I’m going to do here, I suspect I need to hook it in parallel with the front speaker terminals.
