The 2019 firmware was a long awaited improvement. Previously it had several issues, when I switched on my system that hadn't been used for a day or more, it would power up then switch off. The sound of my rear surround satellite was distorted. Gracenote features seemed to slow down the system or show incorrect meta data, eg, it would show I had a Blu-ray in the tray that I removed several days ago. Gracenote was removed in the 2019 update and I found those other issues I mentioned were also fixed. That's good news because the sound of the speakers is excellent, the surround speakers are wireless, the bass is superb, and the footprint of the satelites is fairly small.

The sound is crisp however the software or firmware is terrible, very slow to sync. Takes up to 60 seconds. Will not recommend.
