Nice receiver for the money [Posted on 2007-09-24]
Pros: Zone 2 can play a difference source than the main receiver. Up-converting works well, even for my 4:3 HD-Ready TV. Sound setup was easy. Volume control in small increments. Surround sound works way better than my old Dolby Pro Logic receiver (worth doing an upgrade).
Cons: No down-converting for recording programming.

Nice Receiver, all my component hooked up easily. Manual not to bad, but it can't cover every component. Everything works great, I'm very happy with its functions. The 2nd zone is awsome to have. Souround sound in the livingroom and tuner in the other rooms.
Great product [Posted on 2007-09-26]
This product has worked out great for me. I have it hooked up through some polk monitor speakers and the sound is great. The video upconversion for evey device through HDMI is also wonderful. So nice not having to change inputs on my TV. The sound was great at first and then i plugged in the speaker calibration unit and it was twice as good. Highly recommended.
The best so far [Posted on 2007-10-03]
I bought Bose Acoustimass 16 speakers to go with this reciever. The set up took over 5 hours to hook up. Then it took couple of hours of teethig problems like bad conncetions etc to get the caliberation done. Then the sound level was very low at the default settings. Called customer service and changed levels and shazaam everything worked beautifully. I connected all my inputs including video and audio and onkyo remote interactive ipod dock through this reciever. HDMI connection to my TV. After all the pains it took to set up the system, the results are just great. The best i can ask for with the money that i paid.

Set up was fairly easy and intuitive. The receiver works well as a pass through for my 2 HDMI connections (cable, DVD). Musically, it has some glitches which are elucidated in other reviews, but most can be worked around. The zone 2 audio can accept a digital source through analog cables (ie my external XM radio plugged in to the tape audio input through red/black cables plays and sounds fine). I imagine an iPOD will do the same but haven't tried yet. But you can't play a CD in your DVD player that's connected through HDMI. You do have to turn up the audio fairly high to hear it on main or zone 2, which I don't think is related to my speakers. It's inaudible below about -30, which begs the question what those first 30 levels are for? It won't rattle the windows, but it's plenty loud for a party.
At the price range offered on Amazon w/ free shipping from J&R, it's hard to beat unless you're a true audio or videofile.
