from Future Shop Summary:
I bought my AVR 300 to replace my Kenwood reciever home theater system. I purchased it and immediately knew i needed better speakers. So i bought a set of cerwin vegas for the front and center and mirage for the rear. Man this sounded awesome, i love listening to my movies cranked and this measly 300 watt system blew the kenwood 500 watter away. hookups were great on the rear of the receiver. I was happy!!! Until the dreaded DTS problem arose....i played and played around, finally i after about a year and a half of this problem i bought a new dvd player figuring my old one was the problem. Well it wasnt. I mean its not that great of a deal but for an expensive receiver you would hope for better. I only use dolby digital now because i cant stand the static in the DTS mode. Strengths:
System Cranks. I think im going deaf...LOL!! J/K Weaknesses:
I don't like the DTS problem at all, when i called HK customer service, they didnt have a dealer in my area and told me to ship it to them. When i asked how much it would cost to fix all i could be told is that they work for 60$ and hour. Well that dosnet cut it and i think ill be switching brand names. The guy Tony Carbone also told me that my 800 machine was old to them!!! I guess i need a job at HK then i could spend a grand every year on a new machine?? whatever.
Also when you listen to a dvd, if you notice the comercial spots in the dvd...what happens is the audio switches off and on real quick, sometimes long enough to miss part of a sentence. Similar Products Used:
My kenwood receiver may not crank as loud, but atleast everything still works.......10 years later!!
