Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?

I have it on a 5.1 but I would assume that since it is fiber it is merely the medium on which the signal travels and as such would support whatever was attached to it. So in other words, the fiber itself doesn't dictate whether or not it is 5.1 or 7.1 the device you are connecting does.

I can confirm that a firmware update from 07.1.007 to 07.4.015 does not invalidate this.

No. Buy the 7.1 channel version and you will be able to have 5.1 in one room, and a two speaker system in another... but not with this model.

8.1 is very similar to 8. biggest difference I've noticed is the addition of a start menu button on the taskbar.

how can you make a fair comparison between a 5.1 system and a 7.1 system? no matter how great the speakers you buy with the 607, you will still only have a 5.1 system.

Yes, it will be fine. I have been using the 7.4 and 7.2 interchangably for a couple of months. I do not see any difference in the two at all. Hope this helps.

I forgot to add that I am only interested in 5.1, and I realize that the 606 does 7.1 and the 507 does not.

Myra, Pretty much. I've used it on 8 and 7. It may be a little more stable on 7, but I don't remember having any major issues on 8. I have not tried it on 8.1.

The ones we bought were 8, they ask up to update to 8.1 regularly. Newer ones coming out now may offer 8.1

This one came with V 5.25 loaded on it, After I Checked on line and found the current Version, You could load RB OS V 6.27 using Winbox If you would like.

New 1.06 FW was just released this morning... with support for 1.5TB drives.I'd watch for problem reports on D-Link's forum for a little while before trusting it with important data, just in case there is a bug.

Yes, it is fine to use a 5.1 system with a 7.1 receiver. A 7.1 receiver means you can connect up to 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. This allows you to add 2 more speakers in the future.

I believe yes, I just received an update last week and mine is operating under 7.1.2

I have home. Then I upgraded to 8.1. It really is an OK computer. The company helped me. I was working with pictures that were 2700 pixels and hundreds of them and it was affecting my machine. They helped me reset my bios and showed me how to make the same photos smaller and the computer now runs fine.

Though I have not tried myself, when I was setting up my 7.1 it had an option for 6.1 9.1 and 5.1 and 7.2

Mine has 12.04 LTS. I actually just bought a 12" ASUS notebook and it too has 12.04 LTS. I think 12.04 is sort of the "standard" as far as support and stability. I've used it for 6 months and love it!
