I think what may have happened is the testing process was not thorough enough to find the problem the first time. Hopefully they have figured it out this time.

If you go back through the threads on this forum, I have some explanations on what I found with the bass while decoding multichannel sound in the 598. Basically, the 568.2mm crossover for bass management was setting the crossed over bass from the main channels 10dB too low in the sub. The delta between the LFE and bass management was still 10dB as it should be per Dolbys spec. They just never compared the over all sub level with the main channels level. This is only a problem with multichannel through smartlink. A single coax connection and decoding of multichannel in the 568 works as it should.
