I required an upgrade to a HDMI receiver, and determined to travel with a Pioneer to match my BDP-320 blu-ray player. I additionally wished lots of growth, that the half dozen HDMI inputs on this model match the bill. i'm very happy with the sound and flexibility of this receiver. I even have the bluetooth adapter that works with my Blackberry and may stream music from across the area. All along I actually have a Comcast HD-DVR, the blu-ray player, a Toshiba HD-A30 HD DVD player, and a Philips DVD recorder all connected by HDMI cables to the receiver, and then one HDMI cable to our VIZIO sv470xvt1a TV. i purchase full lossless audio (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio) from my blu-rays and HD DVD's, and wonderful de-interlaced video (1080i to 1080p) from the Comcast DVR. i am employing a pretty cheap five.1 array of speakers (old Kenwoods for the front left/right and Polk center and surrounds with a pc subwoofer!) however get sound that's way beyond what I got before with my Panasonic SA-XR10. The receiver barely gets heat to the bit when hours of use.
The only issues I actually have faced are related to alternative parts. If the TV is turned on before the receiver the HDMI sync doesn't perpetually work, however I actually have had alternative issues with the HDMI on this TV and don't believe the receiver is accountable. web radio works, however can sometimes suddenly disconnect when fifteen - forty five minutes, but this has been found to be associated with the employment of a DLink DAP-1522 bridge in my network. solely individuals seeing this downside have this specific bridge. If the bridge is turned off, the matter goes away.
I highly suggest this receiver; it's stunning and works very well.
