THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REVIEWS ON THIS UNIT: by William L. Franklin
Your positive influence was enough to get me to stick my neck out and buy this unit. (I just bought my blu-ray and I didn't understand beforehand that my old AVR would not be compatible for the HD audio.) I say that I stuck my neck out because of my reservation that 65W per channel would be enough to give me the volume I wanted without having to max out the volume control--but it does just fine, even though I would prefer more just in case I would need it for new speakers I might someday buy. And, other than my older, standard DVD player, it's great to have all HDMI cables in and out of my stuff and get rid of some of those other cables--the AVR I was using didn't have HDMI. I gave it 5 stars because I didn't have sufficient reason to give it 3 or 4, and although I have only had it set up for one night, I swear the HD sound is noticably better. Therefore, I think the value of this unit is great for the price. I hope it clears up the dialogue a bit, because on some DVD's, I sometimes have a little trouble understanding the spoken words, and I will occasionally turn on the subtitles. My blu-ray is supposedly able to be adjusted to help with the clarity of the words, as well. The last thing to say is that this thing is apparently the state of the art, so if I would want to upgrade any of my equipment to the latest thing available, my AVR is ready for it. Thanks for the input. I would recommend this unit without reservation, unless you have an upscale speaker system that requires a lot of power.
