Bottom Line: I have used this for more than 4 years now. The only reason I would have for getting a new receiver of any kind would be the need for HDMI inputs. The audio is impeccable. The output power has never been an issue because you don't really need any more power than this for home audio/ video. It provides enough power to piss off the neighbors and with great clarity of sound. You are not a DJ at a club after all! The setup may not be idiot proof but is simple enough if you read the directions. This piece forced me to become an audio setup enthusiest from a novice. I have had the receiver in an enclosed cabinet that gets very hot inside, and have not had any problems. This receiver will be passed on to my children, much like my mom's eight track player was to me. This is not a cheaply made or engineered piece of electronics! but is still affordable.

Bottom Line: Had this unit for about two years but only use it VERY sporadically. The sound is good when I can turn it ON-therefore the 3 star rating- but that is the PROBLEM! Very often the damn thing just would not turn ON manually or by remote. It is very disappointing. Sometimes I unplug it and after repeated tries in turns on just to turn itself off automatically whenever it pleases. So far, no help from MediaMarkt, the chain where it was purchased and I do not expect them to move a finger. These guys just move boxes.
Hey HK, any tips? Soon it will be Good-Bye for ever.

Bottom Line: I have owned this unit for about 2 years. This is my first and only stereo receiver I have owned and I have been very happy with the quality and sound of this unit. It was quite complicated to set up for me being a beginner but Circuit City hooked it up nicely for me when I purchased my LCD TV.
The sound is amazing, at only about 30 watts it delivers a lot of boom to my movies. I am presently in the market for a second receiver for a family room entertainment center and plan to upgrade to a more modern HK receiver with HDMI.
The only weakness I have noticed about this receiver is the remote is a bit complicated as is the set up for a beginner. Also, being a little outdated compared to todays receivers, there is no HDMI outlets in this unit.
A very good receiver and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality receiver without paying the big bucks.

Bottom Line: I decided to jump from the mid-range products (JVC, Sony, Kenwood and the like) to the relm high-end stuff. Of course my budget took my down to earth a bit but I figured I could afford a nice HK receiver and DVD player. I got them and hooked them up with much haste!! I was blown away by the sound this unit produces despite it's modest power level. It made my Celestion Monitors sing like never before. I was in love.
But all was not well. After about 9 months the processor would not switch to different modes, it couldn't find dolby signals! After quite a few calls to HK they told me to send it back. None to happy was I. After 9 months of use it was dead!? I did send it back (at my considerable expense) and got another one promptly. The new one lasted about 5 hours and it has died. After a few days I have not recieved a response from HK.
I'm shopping for a Marantz or Onkyo, see ya HK.

Bottom Line: This is my first all digital a/v receiver, compared to my fiirst Aiwa analog this unit is underpowered. But on the good side like the others stated it produces amazing sound, with plenty of digital inputs it was a perfect buy for me and anyone else who cant afford a 1000$ receiver. Remote is ok once you get to know it. I would like to see a LCD remote with my next HK purchase!!! I would buy from them again, unless Yamaha comes down in price i will stick with HK.
