Unzipped this baby last night and found the connection and the installation be as easy. Replacing an aging Pioneer VSX-21 that I never quite got used to. Love the Audessy 2EQ functionality on this device. I have the automatic speaker set-up was very simple (my daughter was tickled by the test tones, sends). The problem was with the subwoofer will be strengthened through, but easily fixed. I have not tried the camera without the auto-volume or Auto-EQ funtion, so you can not compare it yet. CNET Review really, but so far I have really enjoyed being able to hear everything without blasting my wife out of the house!

Someone mentioned that he did not HDMI pass-through, but it is incorrrect. It does. You need the switch to return to the setup menu, but it's there. The upscaling non-HD television is something to be desired, but otherwise I think it actually improved my view from my FIOS HD box.

My only negative so far, if you call it, like interface is not XM, Sirius alone. With the merger, I hope that this is not a big problem, but it's not really a big negative impact on all for me. He would be HD radio unit in non-integrated HD-ready have preferred, but again not too much to hear that Radio. The remote control could be better. I hate to press the button on the receiver, but if I programmed the general issue in the drawer with all the others.

I was in this model compared to the Denon 1909, but after reading all those stories about how difficult it was to set up and to 71 U.S. dollars more from the field, the choice is really not rocket science. I have no way to run a hum or running hot issues that have cost so many other Onkyo units. I'm beginning to think it is a myth. I used to sell stereo equipment, and I turned on my Denon, more than any other brand. A fire started in the same showroom. Never had problems with Onkyo.

No other receiver in this price range may be close to this value.
