This receiver sounds great, and the images passed to the HDTV look great. The setup is quick and easy if you put banana plugs on your speaker leads. The YPAO feature is excellent. I'm not very well informed on home theater, but as a technical...

You can't have 7.1 and bi-amp the front speakers at the same time. I'm not quite sure why this is the case, in terms of the internal architecture, but it certainly is so. I guess it uses the same amp for the presence/zone 2 speakers as the rear...

The sound is amazing. The features are nice. A major upgrade from my 2004 yamaha receiver. And.... I like mine system better than my dad's. :D ; The DVD upconverting is even way nice. I was watching Transformers 3 last night and had it all upconverted...

the remote was different and took a minute to get used to

I use this unit for home entertainment and serves plenty! Delivers what it claims to deliver. Wiring it is as easy as it can be. YAPO is neat

I bought my unit at newegg in March/2011. And in Sept/Oct I ran into this problem of the power shutting off every 15 or so minutes. Tried all my tricks to ensure heat is dissipated properly and the unit is not overloaded. No use! So I was forced to...

Stunningly clean sound. Plenty of power with wall-mounted speakers (Polk RM8). Very versatile as to the number and type of inputs. Setup was extremely easy using the microphone. Works seamlessly with all my components, routing them through a single...

Remote is not the greatest (Tiny, hard to read keys and doesn't work well with all components. ) I had to print out 120 pages of the manual on CD to make setup practical

Lots of HDMI inputs, 7.2, second zone, on-screen GUI to program, included microphone and program to balance out speakers for any room, supports 3 digital audio inputs in addition to 6 HDMI, supports 2 sub-woofers. HDMI pass through worked perfectly. I...

The quick-start manual provided is too brief to really set up this unit. the complete manual is on a CD provided with the package or can be downloaded. Most people will need to have and use this manual to set up the unit, meaning really understand the...

Very easy to set up. Took only 15 minutes to connect the speakers, bi-amp it, run YPAO and set up the source. The sound is incredibly clear and accurate. Pure direct mode is amazing. Makes high quality mp3s and FLACs sound great

Advanced settings are only available through an on screen GUI - ie a monitor connected via HDMI, composite or yellow video out. Also the remote is archaic in design

Easy to set up and easy to use. Good sound, low THD, great interface between other components. I use it to control TV and all audio and video in the house

USB connection point
