CydonianCrusader (West of Leeds, UK / Charlotte, NC)
Extremely versatile unit that works well with my Digital cable, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Unit upscales images to 720p that are analog and the HDMI Passthru works extremely well.
 Product works, but has some annoyances May 12, 2008
Eric E. Buschman (California)
I purchased this receiver to replace my old Sony 625 receiver. The main reason for replacement was I purchased an HDTV and have 2 HDMI appliances that I wanted to attach to my TV and run 5.1 audio through. This product met those requirements and produces great sounding audio, with a couple of annoyances.
1. Switching between inputs can take up to 30 seconds at times
2. The two appliances I purchased this for can cause issues with the receiver. My cable box while switching between standard definition TV/audio to high definition TV/audio can sometimes send the receiver into a 'searching' mode trying to find what type of audio is being sent from the cable box. I have sometimes waited 5 minutes for it to determine whether it was dolby digital or dts and finally just shut it off in annoyance.
3. Sometimes it will corrupt the video output to my TV, and I've found if I disconnect the TV from the receiver and reconnect it after having totally powered off both appliances it will come back to normal (otherwise the built in menus on my Vizio TV go crazy), this may not be a reciever issue.
Overall the product works as advertised, but I don't think I would purchase another one if I had to do it over again.

My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to have a built in phono pre-amp (there's a separate amp for all eight speakers, but no phono amp?). Other than that it's an incredible piece of scientific equipment. It has a mic that you can place where your listen, and it runs a test pattern to locate the eight speakers and adjust the surround sound accordingly. The on-screen menu is nice for setting up the inpute. The defaults were frustrating until I got that connected - HDMI worked best for linking it to the TV.
