What's new or to be added via firmware update for the 2018 models?

- Able to display menu on 4k video (except Dolby Vision)
- RESET - Menu setting that restores all settings to factory default (in addition to usual 2 button + power on reset)
- PHONO input (also added as audio input available with <Video Select> feature)
- Airplay 2
- Panel Lock (either all front panel buttons or all but volume)
- Remote Lock
- Web Control (reintroduced after being previously dropped on all "HEOS" module series)
- <Dialog Level> setting more appropriately relabeled as <Center Level> as it simply adjusts the volume level of the center speaker
- <Center Level> (formerly Dialog Level Adjust) and <Subwoofer Level> (formerly Subwoofer Level Adjust) no longer have ON/OFF setting, but rather simply mirror the Center/Subwoofer Manual Setup - Levels - Test Tones settings such that they can be adjusted on the fly now correctly as opposed to being in addition to the Manual Setup settings on previous year's models
- Surround Parameter - Panorama (S640H only) - expands front sound field towards the back when using Dolby PLII (Music)
- Detachable WiFi/Bluetooth antennas (new for NR1509/NR1609)
- “ihiji Invision” and Domotz Pro remote system management technology ("SR" series)
- eARC (SR6013/SR7013/SR8013 - installed at the factory)

What was dropped from the 2017 models?
- Circle indicator on front panel display when "HEOS Music" source is playing
- Smart Select initial volume no longer defaults to an initial value (ie. previously 40 but now must be set by the user)

----------------------

Note: Although all models feature two subwoofer pre-outs, only the SR6013/SR7013/SR8013 have independent subwoofer volume control of each subwoofer.
