Not used it yet because there are some scratches on the front mirrored panel. I feel I should return the whole thing to Comet as a new product shouldn't be in that condition IMO.
I am a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to setting it up etc.

Check that this isn't because of some very fine plastic covering the front. It's a common mistake, I've even seen it on display with the covering in place! If it's genuinely scratched, yup take it back.
I thought that when I got mine but it was just the plastic, you have to look quite carefully when peeling off.

First thought was "Oh no, I'm going to need to send this back." Then was scared to peal it off in case it wasn't meant to be removed and I was actually taking the front off So glad I've just found this thread!
Andro was right! I peeled off the plastic covering, and the mirrored panel looks shiny as it should. It just looked weird before as if I had got a second-hand model.
In response to kpee, none of those were stored. Everything started afresh, and the firmware/software match the current releases.

I made exactly the same mistake. Some muppet put my unit on display in the store when it was supposed to be reserved for me. I accepted it anyway, since it had only been there for about 4 hours. I peeled one side of the plastic off since the corner was already hanging.
I only noticed when I got home that the other side appeared scratched. After some fuming it suddenly occured to me that I should see if there was some plastic film there too..... tada! In my defense, it was stuck on perfectly and was pretty much invisible. Anyway, "scratches" gone, lovely looking unit.

OK, Sunday - confession time. Me too. Funny thing was I expected it to have a protective film and tried to peel it off when I first got it - and failed. I then assumed wrongly it had no film and left it for a fortnight until I tried again and managed to get a fingernail under the corner.....
