"The Little Engine That Could!"
First, let me say that in 2001 when I first bought one of these units(which I still have & which still works just fine) the retail price was $99.97 at Circuit City & I only purchased it for a second system I was putting together for an early version of a man cave. I chose it because no other brand could touch it for the price and features. It had every surround sound format including Dolby Pro Logic 2 which was still fairly new at that time. So, I got it home and decided to use it in my main system since my Onkyo had been damaged in a move. Well, after some difficulty setting up the parameters of the receiver(speaker size, distance from listening area, assignment of digital inputs & so forth) the receiver came to life with a sound that could have been coming from a receiver many times its cost. Although it's not big on extras (Spring clip speaker connectors, no convenience outlets, complicated menu system) if you need a receiver for a small to mid "Old School" home theater, this is the one to get. If it doesn't come with directions, you definitely want to download them because without them, you'll never be able to get all the parameters set up right.
