Yes, very new indeed! Actually quite gorgeous and a very cool OSD that makes the system even easier to use. to painfully easy for us CI's =)

It now excepts all the new digital audio formats, that is the reason for the new wiring. and all the new ones have IR control like before.

Overall a very nice new and much needed update for Bose, they also have included ipod docks that display information on the remote including RDS if listening to the radio.

Training yesterday was more interesting then informative because all the new stuff can be summed up in a 15min webinar. Bose did their own inhouse research as to why our industry got hit so hard which was most of our time.
