Onkyo HT-RC260 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)

While we may define it as an entry-level A/V receiver, the HT-RC260 gives you performance and features that leave class-competitors gasping in its wake. Six of the latest HDMI® 1.4a inputs provide easy connection for all your high-def sources and compatibility with the eye-popping new 3D video format. Another connectivity highlight is a handy Universal Port that allows you to hook up Onkyo peripherals such as a Dock for iPod/iPhone. Meanwhile, if you want to distribute music to another room, the HT-RC260 provides Zone 2 line-outs and speaker outputs. Regardless of their resolution, all video sources can be upscaled to stunning 1080p via HDMI and Faroudja DCDi Cinema . High-quality Burr-Brown DACs work alongside jitter-cleaning technology and three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry to minimize distortion and deliver extremely realistic audio for movies, music, and games. The HT-RC260 also offers compatibility with lossless Dolby and DTS codecs, as well as the expanded surround formats of Audyssey DSX and Dolby Pro Logic® IIz. Quality home theater has never been more affordable. read more..

Amazing value, all the bells ane whistles by Bob Buddy
For $350 you can't beat this nice piece. Six HDMI inputs, all the latest Audessy tune-up tricks, and more bells and whistles than I'll ever use. But the instructions are typical, namely written at a grade school level and leaving out some important info about features. To be fair, you really need to be an engineer to understand all the details of today's AVRs. I know; I'm a EE and lifelong AV nut, and it's rough going for me. They should include a guide for newbies and another one for AV enthusiasts who don't need diagrams to hook up a speaker.
