Great Receiver

Had to pick a new receiver after my Sony 5.1 died, and I am very pleased with this affordable choice. I picked this up on the fly, and it, so far, is miles above the Sony. The sound is crisp and clear, the set up a breeze (never cracked the book), has plenty of s-video, digital optical, and component hook-ups. I am definitely a home theater novice, but this unit is more than enough for me, and as a bonus- is was highly affordable!
