This puppy is a bear to setup
Reviewed by Hudgins77 from Hampton, VA on Mar 04, 2007
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This Audio/Video Receiver is really a good system for the price. Be ready to read and re-read the manual. The main set of speaker terminals on the back of the unit are the regular spring-loaded ones. All the others are the newer twist kind that are a pain to get right. I noticed that most brands of receivers have these same type. Maybe I'm missing something but they gave me nothing but trouble trying to connect my surround sound speakers.
Cons: Difficult To Set Up, Stupid Speaker Terminals
Pros: DVD Digital Audio, Clean Sound
Best Uses: Home Theater, Audiophiles
