Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $350.00 from Soundsurround

Summary:
I would rate it the best bang for the buck.The Panny gives you an honest smooth detailed sound.It has enough power to rock the house.You need to change the defult settings of small speakers to Large speakers to get it to really sound good.A Powered Subwoofer is a must if you want to watch movies at there best. The Upsampling seems to smooth out the digital sound of a lot of music CD's. The 6 Channel input for DVD Audio and SACD is a very nice touch for the future.

Strengths:
Good clean output at high volumes. Very quiet and run's fairly cool.

Weaknesses:
No On Screen Programming. The remote could be a little better for the set-up.The older saxr 45 model was a much better looking unit.
