There are also two Meridian SmartLink inputs for best connection to Meridian DVD players and the HD621.

As none of the current Meridian DVD players have an MMHR Ouput, this would further emphasize that Meridian are indeed talking about Smartlink and not MMHR frown
Yes this occurred to me. I'm really wondering if M has forgotten to add the MMHR inputs into the literature.

My thinking is this: Eight channel input over HDMI is standard for most non-M AV amps. Is Meridian really scoring an own goal here? I would have thought that they would add more MIPS and call it G68.2 rather than leaving out this crucial feature which is bound to lead to lost sales.

I wonder if the SpeakerLink inputs will also double as MMHR inputs?

I'm pretty sure that there will be 2x SmartLink (6-channel) inputs as well.

Need a piccy of the new G68 back panel!

I think you are right; and I think M has just alienated existing customers.
