Big Bang for the Buck...
By Jon Ell
I've owned this A/V receiver for six months now and could not be more pleased. It is loaded with all the latest & greatest features a home theater receiver should have, including Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES (6.1) and Dolby Digital-EX (6.1) processing, and six discrete analog inputs for high resolution audio sources like DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. It also has pre-outs for all six channels plus subwoofer, four digital inputs (1 coax, 3 optical), and inputs for Phono, DVD, MD, TV/DBS, CD, CD-R, VCR x 2... Simply put, a receiver that can do almost everything and do it pretty well too. I say "almost" everything because the only area where it fell short was an additional amplifier for the back surrounds for 6.1/7.1 surround sound. In other words it is only powered for 5 channels (LF,C,RF,LS,RS). However I was aware of this and purchased a 2-ch outboard amp from [local store] for the "back" surround speakers. Undoubtedly adding the extra amp would have added to the price substantially when *most* people don't have 7.1 systems anyway (much less 5.1).
I originally purchased this receiver primarily in order to play high resolution DVD-Audio and the sound quality from this source is nothing less than spectacular. My feeling is that if a component (DVD player/receiver) can play music well then movies are no sweat and this is very true with this receiver. It handles music and movies equally well. Some people pay literally thousands of dollars to get this kind of performance from an AV receiver. At this price this is a steal!
