Good unit but difficult setup
|
It took me a long time to figure out exactly how to set up the A-V wiring on this unit... especially the digital audio ins. The manual is not helpful at all in this regard. For instance, to properly receive the digital audio signal you must ALSO have the analog paths connected. This is breifly mentioned in a sidebar deep in the manual.
PLEASE NOTE: This unit is NOT a video transcoder! Composite video in DOES NOT get fed to the S-video or component video outs and vice-versa. This limits routing the best quality signal to your TV and can really complicate your wiring.
Plan on spending an extra $80 on cables to properly use this receiver.
Otherwise, it's great sonically and has functions and configurations for everyone's needs. I especially like the Zone 2 function so I can listen to iTunes music on the patio while someone else is watching video or listening to a CD. |
