Summary:
This receiver is outstanding! With the ability to have HDMI inputs from Blu-Ray and HD DVD is also a plus. It supports both uncompressed PCM and Dolby True HD. Also a big plus is the ability to pass through 1080p signals. I would reccomend this receiver to anyone that is willing to spend the money! WOOOOOOOO!

Strengths:
1080p HDMI inputs. Upconversion to HDMI. Multi zones. PCM and Dolby True HD playback for High Def. DVD players. The ability to add presence speakers. The ability to customize input names. OSD is viewable with HDMI. OSD (on screen display) is a huge strength period...

Weaknesses:
Cannot use presence speakers and rear surround speakers at the same time, must choose between the two. Bulky, and heavy. Runs fairly hot compared to similar brands and models. Remote is not backlit and can be dificult to use right out of the box. OSD can be confusing and takes a little bit to learn what all the options will do for you.
