This is one of the terrific buy of the century
I just got this receiver for x-mas and what a beauty it is. I previously had a Pioneer VSX-D308 attached to some JBL HLS610s. Along with the new receiver I got a pair of JBL N38s. What an awesome combo. The receiver rocks with its six channels and all the dolby digital decoding features. The remote is nice and I can control my CD unit with it also, a technics. I have to say what a big fan I am of this only after a day with it. Still learning the ropes on how to configure the thing to sound the way I want, but so far so good. A great receiver for a very reasonable price!
This receiver is cool.
I was dreading upgrading to Dolby Digital just because I have an upscale Onkyo which worked perfectly except it was pre-digital.
I find it difficult to replace a working article.
This receiver made it easier when you consider its price, power and value. I really really like it. It has great sound. It has lots of inputs and most importantly, for an old fuddy duddy like me, it has a phono input. I was considering another Onkyo, but to get the phono input you have to get the 700 series, which is about twice the cost. There was a Yamaha which was somewhat competitive, but just didnt match up. Harmon Karden (spelling?) doesnt even offer phono on its AV sets anymore!
The remote is great (apparently Denon has had difficulty in the past making them user friendly).
The initial setup is a bit difficult when you have to assign the inputs (to a techno expert I am sure it is easy); I dont think the manual is as good as it could be.
I really like this unit.
Pros:
Power
Inputs/outputs (especially phono)
Value
Cons:
Setup
The owners manual
Conclusion:
I dont see how anyone wouldnt love this unit.
