Summary:
Love it, Oh, except for the bass just quitting on me, the fuses blew, and each time I turn the bass on, whether or not its hooked up to the TEAC makes no difference, the fuses will blow

Weaknesses:
Pretty weak for a 100 watt, but the system overall was pretty good.

Summary:
Good quality, cheap, meets the needs of any normal human.

Strengths:
easy to use.

Weaknesses:
SO MANY. Not enough inputs, damn thing keeps flashing protect and shutting itself off. Cant seem to find an equalizer setting that plays the same amount of volume out of each speaker. Rear speakers volume is weak.

Summary:
With a decent subwoofer, not a cheapie no name, this unnit puts out bass with room to spare, the sub level can also be controlled through teh reciever to recieve a huge boost. That has been my experience. The reciever is a great value, it puts out enough power to fill my modest living room comfortably. It has the full range of inputs and outputs. Sounds great with a nice set of speakers...Get it!

Strengths:
price, connections, build quality, power, sound quality

Weaknesses:
none

Summary:
This is a follow up review. I am responding to the complaints regarding low bass output n the AG-D8900 receiver. I believe my receiver is one in the same as the AV8900 by Teac. I only question this due to the fact that I cannot relate to the postings regarding poor bass output. As I stated in my original review, I do run Cerwin Vegas with 10in woofers. Not huge by any means yet large compared to many of todays floor speakers. I would suggest leaving the "superbass" feature ON and the "night mode" OFF under all circumstances. The superbass can also be adjusted to varying degrees of DB output. In worst case, I would suggest a seperate equalizer to tweak those low end frequencies. If you run only puny bookshelf speakers with this unit and expect deep bass, forget it. I hope this helps those who are presently disappointed. My walls continue to shake :o)

Summary:
I just couldn't resist the price tag on this unit. It seemed to have all the features I was looking for and at a price that was less than my subwoofer! I've used it for a while now and I'm happy with its capabilities. I've got it hitched up with matched Infinity speakers an a 200 watt subwoofer for a true 5.1 setup. All in all, I can't help but to recommend it at this price.

Strengths:
The automatic switching of DTS, DD and Prologic modes works great. Plenty of inputs and outputs. Enough volume if you have even half-way efficient speakers.

Weaknesses:
Poor low frequence response. Even with a 200 watt subwoofer, it's just not pumping out the bass as it should. Manual is almost useless and setup is anything but intuitive.
