Does anyone know how to Force VuNow to use HDMI? I have to turn my netboxx off and then back on in order for it to realize that it is plugged into my TV via HDMI.

Sherwood tells me that the netboxx should remember that it is hooked to my TV via HDMI. When I first select VuNow, it has an “A” on the display. Power cycling the receiver will display the “H” and the picture appears on my TV.

I wonder if a firmware update will ever come out for this receiver to fix these little issues.

I notice that VuNow is now using the Sigma 8652 Chips instead of TI.. Does this mean anything for the future of the Netboxx?

Looks like a good price compared to original MSRP. How does this compare to the XR25 and XR55?

Is the amplifier section about the same, just added bells like DTS-MA?

This might help you out.

Power Supply: Murex MRX-908A
Murex has a a PS designed for a 700W Digital Amplifier on their Website http://www.murexlab.co.kr/eng/product02-1.html
Yes I know that it is not the same.

Wow, this thing is dropping.. I wonder if it has not sold that well or if Sherwood is getting rid of the thing.

I just bought one and the Vunow doesn't work, and looking at other threads, it appears others do to. Mine just goes to the boot screen and stays there. Bummer..Guess it goes back.

So my Netboxx has developed a problem.

Every morning when it comes out of standby there is no audio. If I power cycle it using the full-off button, it works fine. During the day it seems to go in and out of standby fine - so it is some sort of duration thing.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I know - it is sad. I replaced it with a Marantz 1402. The sound is not as good, though the feature set is much nicer.

I am actually using the Sherwood in my home theater now, just have to leave it on all the time smile.gif Will see how long it lasts.

Has anyone else had heat issues with their units. I purchased mine about two years ago and last summer it got really hot and stopped working. When I contacted walmart about my extended warranty I purchased they said it had a two year warranty. When I contacted sherwood they say that heat has been a problem with the unit and when I called it seems they had a few in for repair. Happy I bought an extended warranty and hope if lasts long enough to make the price worth it.

My Sherwood N-904 has been replaced with a Marantz NR1603 after the Sherwood and its nice low profile started to give me too many operating problems. It started when the internet access feature just stopped. OK.. I can live with that because I have other ways to do that. But the straw the broke the Sherwood's usefulness was the horribly loud digital static that blasted at me whenever I turned on the unit. It was as if a capacitor had a load of unused audio pixels left over from the last time the unit was on and they all blasted out as pure, loud noise when you turned it on again. It took a good ten seconds for that sound to quiet down to let the unit run normally. So I have a somewhat working unit that can scare you to death if you forget about the noise blast the accompanies a turn on. I haven't heard anyone else have this particular problem. But based on the many pages of problems listed above me, I'm sure Sherwood regrets letting this dog out.

Finally had to give it up? You were one of the true original beleivers in this product that wrote great reviews everywhere including Amazon.

I don't think Sherwood regrets anything.
