Thumbs Up
Easy to set up, the digital cinema auto calibration worked well although it told me my right front speaker was out of phase even though it's not.

The description lists two HDMI in but there are actually three. I used one port for my PVR and the standard definition channels look better now. My old receiver didn't have a port for digital audio in so watching broadcasts in 5.1 surround is a big plus.

The remote is huge. I just tossed it back in the box and set up my Harmony 550 to take care of the most used functions.

For $499.99, this a great deal on a 7.1 surround receiver with 3 HDMI in's and 700+ watts of power.

Great HDMI switcher/converter
This is a great receiver for the price. I have it connected to 3 HDMI sources (PlayStation 3 (60GB), DirecTV HD DVR and a DVD player) and two optical sources (Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive and a TiVo).

All sources sound great and there were no problems with sound lag when viewing on the output Panasonic plasma TV. The receiver runs relatively cool for a device like this (it is a lot cooler than my older Sony receiver). It also works perfectly well with my Logitech Harmony remote.

Minor niggles: the menu system (especially the OSD) is fairly tedious to navigate through and the indicator light for "digital surround" is a little to small and hard to see from an above angle.

Excellent Receiver for the price
If you own any Hi-Def players such as the blu-ray or HD DVD, you must have one of these. It is priced lower than the Onkyo 605 and it can play multichannel PCM. I've connected this receiver to both my PS3 and my toshiba HD DVD XA2. It plays everthing perfectly. It also upconverts anything to 1080p through HDMI output. I am very satisfied with this player.
