Bang for the buck.
Reviewer: Buyzillion.com3 weeks ago- Overall 10
I bought this as an open-box [...]. It didn't come with the auto-calibration mic, but not a big deal. This receiver was so easy to set up using just 3 HDMI cables. I hooked up my PS3 and my cable box(DVI to HDMI) to the receiver and the third HDMI cable to the TV. Other than the speaker wires, there are only 3 other cables stickin out of the back of this thing. No birds nest behind my TV anymore. If you are not looking to spend a bundle on a receiver, I highly recommend... Read more

This is a great receiver. though lacks some advanced features. The best part is it doesnt require a seperate connection for Audio.

Only thing I observed is that I could not find a way to output 2 channel MP3 to 5 channels. (May be I dont know the way to do it. All in all this is really nice receiver. If you are on tight budget, dont look for any other... Read more

This is a nice receiver. It has a lot of features you would see on more expensive models. Plenty of power to push the speakers. I like the fact that it has 3 hdmi inputs for both video and audio. Switching between inputs is easy and fast. The auto calibration is a nice feature. Just set up the included mic and the receiver does the work for you. It checks the speaker connections, balance and distance for your listening area. If you dont want to spend a ton of cash on a... Read more

Great Value for HDMI
Reviewer: Irishwiseguy2006, Bestbuy17 August 2008- Overall 10
"As being one that was looking for a receiver that would give me the HDMI sound it is hard to find a spec on a system that will tell you if it does or not. Well look no further. This system WILL play the lossless audio via HDMI. Now you must know that this reciever DOES NOT decode the HIDEF audio such as True HD or PCM. I have mine hooked up to the PS3 witch DOES the encoding of all HIDEF audio. If you dont have a blu-ray player or DVD player that does not decode the... Read more
