Summary: ...walked away from an Onkyo to buy this reciever and have never regretted it. Even the sales person said I would be back for the Onkyo.
Good staging, excellent tuner and very hard to beat for the money.
Strengths: Price, features, and remote.
Weaknesses: nothing worth mentioning.

Summary: Easy to hook up and use. Sounds great especially since I was taking a risk buying it. Was buying it for a second receiver for our vacation house but sich my "new" HK 525 receiver was delivered broke this has taken its place and has performed very well
Strengths: Front panel imputs. Plenty of rear panel inputs. Good value
Weaknesses: None at this time

Summary: After completing numerous hours of research, I found this reciever to have numerous features (component video switching, center preamp output, 3 digital audio in's, ...) that most $350 recievers did not, let alone $219 models.
The overall sound quality is suprisingly good for a reciever at this price range, and as with most A/V recievers, the 100 watt/channel is probably a little overrated, but shoudlnt be a problem if you are in this price range.
I highly recomend this product to anyone that needs a highly functional, feature laden reciever for under $300.
Strengths: Price, 3 optical inputs, component video switching, fold down front panel gives unit a very clean look
Weaknesses: none so far

, from Andover, MA
Price Paid:
$250.00
from Best Buy
Summary: This is a simple receiver to set up and operate. I looked at quite a few others but ended up with this one. Although not planned, it works quite well with the "matching" Pioneer DV-353K dvd player
Strengths: Ease of operation and general sound quality.
Weaknesses: The instruction manual could use some improvement and a phono stage would have been nice to have. But, I can get around those very minor issues.
Similar Products Used: None really.
