The receiver w/ instructions makes it easy to make a complete system for my large room. Easy connections in the back of the unit with no hassles.
Decent, but returned due to quality concerns:
Got this receiver to replace my eight-year-old Harmon Kardon AVR-210 and enjoy HDMI goodness and lossless audio support. Everything went fine at first.

I am using it with a Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-ray player, a Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD player and Verizon FIOS HD TV service connected to a Samsung HL56A650C1F DLP 1080p display. Everything interfaced perfectly, set up was as easy as can be expected - given experience with this stuff. Anyone new to these kind of set-ups will... more info
