Andrew,
Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I sold the unit a few weeks ago and have not been to this forum in a while. I could not keep this unit in DD. It did not go to DD when a movie from the satellite (Dish Network) was being broadcast. I have since found out that an "upgrade" was needed. One Kenwood service center told me it would cost over $100 + S&H. Another said it was free + S&H. Both said it would take "a couple of weeks" + shipping time. I did not like the response I got and decided to buy a new receiver.
