Summary:
Bought it open box at Circuit City, it does everything I need it to do (in a small room) works best with a decent powered sub...although I will definetly upgrade when i move to a lerger room.

Strengths:
Decent sound for the price, remote is great,

Weaknesses:
No seperate bass / treble controls, not Dolby Digital

Price Paid:  $179.00 from sears

Summary:
Have had for 5 yrs. Can't believe people say there's no power. You can always use more, but I love my 400 watts.(+ my 200w sub helps too. The neighbors know when I'm home! I will upgrade to digital eventually, but for now I'm happy. And I'm happy w/ my JVC cd and dvd player as well.

Strengths:
Decent power,(100wx3,50w back, in surround mode), sub out. Reliable.

Weaknesses:
No e.q.(factory presets)

Summary:
just bought this reciever thought i needed remote control plenty of inputs and speaker outputs.but if you hook up 4 speakers and switch to both at same time it drains what little power this thing generates.the power distorts at 41%terrible.rated at 100w/pc what a joke the sx 202 pioneer rated at 25 w/pc puts out more than this reciever ,and the tuner wouldn't pick up a station if you were in the middle of it .other than that it looks nice lot of features .i won't give this product a star i give it the moon ...........save your money buy a transistor radio they sound the same.

Strengths:
this thing has remote?

Weaknesses:
poor power distorts at 41% what a poor performer more like 8w/pc than advertised 100w/pc .

Summary:
Great amp ,ample power.Also has a very good ,crisp spound.All yhough not Dolby Digital ,has a very good P ro logic surround proccesor and discrete amplifier.Overload protection protects agains accidental shorts or too low impendence speakers. Remote can do almost anything you can on the front of the amp itself.Ssounds far clearer than a medium quality Pioneer like the VSX-405.

Strengths:
Great sound quality,discrete outputs ,ample power,ample bass,tons of features,bargain price.

Weaknesses:
Does not like 4 ohm speakers.
