Excellent sound ; Up/down conversion of video ; Bi-ampable ; Automated set-up ; Ability to choose video and audio source independently

Can sound lacklustre at high volumes ; No OSD ; Poor remote

If you don't want perpetual party volumes, however, the news is a lot rosier -- this is an excellent amplifier. Some amps give an overly midrange-heavy performance that sounds great with dialogue but makes music sound like it's playing in a tunnel. But...

Great Sound. Great Price. So much better than my previous receiver it is untrue.

Not very user friendly when using remote control for sources.

Everything about it has been good. I'm not technical but a friend set it up quite easily.

auto set-up didn't work with the supplied microphone, the instruction manual was also difficult to understand.

Easy auto set-up,sound quality for movies & music an improvement on previous receiver,comprehensive features give ability to further improve listening.

Remote control seems overly complicated,buttons on both sides mean that if not handled carefully button on opposite side may function. Otherwise nothing bad.

Loads of inputs, backside nicely organized, looks good

Need special XM to take advantage of XM inut. My old Delphi XM goes into aux channel instead
