Bottom Line: Okay, I had to put in a postive note for this receiver. Though I do not own the AX710, I own it's little brother, the AX610. I believe that all that is different is the remote control. One is universal, one is not. I must say I have not one bad thing to say about this receiver. It's been reliable, powerful, and sounds as good as it ever did. I bought this receiver based on my previous experience with Panasonic/Technics products. I purchased this to replace my first surround receiver, the Technics SA-GX550 that I had purchased four years. (I dropped on its face, so needless to say it was toast). Everything about the 610 (710) was better! The power output is powerful, the bass is phenominal (gotta love that loudness switch, and my receiver has none of that noise the other reviewers were talking about in Dolby Surround mode. And yes, I admit the fact this receiver doesn't have digital decoder is annoying, but I solved that problem by buying a DVD player with decorders built in.
After six years of moderate use, this baby keeps on churning out good sounds whether it be in 2 channel or multi channel. I'm not one for the extra sound field settings, but they work well. Yes, the receiver does run warm, but after owning two other Technics receivers, I just assumed that they do run warm. It never is too hot to touch, and the fan kicks on at higher volumes. The unit has never overloaded, even when I was using it at a small party. The remote control is a joke however. It is nice laid out, but is a pain to use. I'd just like to try to find a good workhorse like this TODAY for this price. I hope it never dies.

Bottom Line: I had to respond to some of the bad reviews for this receiver! I mainly listen to music through a Rotel amp with Mirage speakers and I must say the sound from this unit is not bad. I think the heat generated is average, my Rotel is smaller and produces more heat when turned up. The Technics receiver did overheat once at a New Year's party with five channels blaring. I used a small fan and we were back in business. My Rotel would cut out at much lower sound levels (its only 50W /channel).
I agree the remote is primitive and I only use it when adjusting the channel levels.I do not experience hissing in the center or surround channels. There is more than enough power for HT and music, at least for my taste, speakers and
room.
The main criteria for buying this receiver was the 5 channel amp and the price. At the time, January 1998, it was the only game in town at that price. I am buying an RCA RC5225P DVD player with built in decoder to go with it (another good bargain.) I think the combination is good for the money.
