Nice crisp picture. The model has a number of stereo options and it defaults tosome sort of enhanced stereo mode that is supposed to enhance some frequencies, etc. etc. I was having small problems with it causing the sound to fade in and out a little bit.

All in all, I'm extremely happy with it, though. I've had it for.. 10 days now and I LOVE the tvguide+ feature that it has. The Picture in Picture option is
ok, but it takes some remote control finesse to get the tuners working out correctly since it requires the VCR to do the PIP.

The remote is OK. It has all the keys that you need. It has a universal glow-in-the dark remote... (universal doesn't include receivers)
