George, I agree with your assessment about his capabilities and even intentions. I shouldn't pile on, but think this forum has been more than fair in attempts to protect his reputation. And that reflects well on the integrity of the HHer community and the tone you set, for sure. Many have tried to resolve matters with him using PMs or Emails. My problems were first handled by PM, then openly on this forum. I needed the public view to prompt a response. Without Shawn's generous offer of trouble shooting and repair, I doubt I would have a working Oppo. Gary promised he would cover my out of pocket extra shipping costs which were $100 plus. He has not answered a single email or PM about this. I can write off the money, but I don't like to think what would happen if any of us need the warranty repair that he also promised. Enough said!
