The 430 can also be upgraded.

I would imagine that none of the HK's future models will have the delay since they went through the trouble of fixing it in the 430 and 630 models.

Funny. I had the 630 for almost a year and the delay didn't bother me at all. Now that it's gone, I wouldn't want to switch back.

I upgraded the 430 as well with the latest software. As far as the Dolby PLII Movie it must just be the HK standard when detecting a 2.0 source. I'm just very midly disappointed it doesn't want to remember when I change it to Dolby Digital 2.0 only. Not a huge deal.

Random note... My sister came over and told me she didn't understand this surround sound stuff and everyone who had "it" she wasn't impressed...

So I demo'd the system.

I tried to explain to her how I'd rather listen to the music channels in 2 channel without the rear channels on. Sure enough, she preferred the Dolby PLII Music. We watched some movies and listened to CD's and music channels and she noted that this was the first time she could actually tell the difference and liked what she heard. Granted she would never spend near the cash I did on this either so I suppose it's all up to your own priorities.
