With high end systems it pays for someone to install it for you at the same time, a nice service that Sony offers.

Hope you got them to throw in a universal remote

Logitech has a great one http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...s/en,CRID=2078

I would have thought the cables came in the box,nothing to do with salesman. It may even be him who comes and has a look at it.

Where did you buy it from ?

One thing we do is push for the cables, , as there is great profit in them, , and you do actually need them !!

Sorry mate but for $6000 you got ripped.
Id be demanding the cables, it should be a simple plug n play exercise as far as im concerned.
when i bought my yamaha system, the guy that dropped it off installed the whole thing explained what was which and everything ran off a learnable remote...
1 touch operation...

I have installed a few Marantz systems and they give me the shiits no end. They are great when they work though. If only I had the money for myself. Metallica and Tool would reign loud all day long.
