More than 8-channels is most likely 4.0. At least that was the word when they showed the roadmap at CES a couple of years ago.

I will ask.

Most likely need Ziva 5 for chroma fix. As a note, Samsung is the largest and first customer for Ziva 5. They shipped one player with early adopter ziva 5 code. I will ask.

so far I will ask:

- >8 channels for 861
- Ziva 5 / chroma issue for DVD playres
- 561 plans
- 596 upgrade plans
- room correction for 861
