Client more useful in 74 of 76 people found this review helpful. Great sound, creates an immersive environment, but confusing to install and administer Adam I Preface this review by saying I'm not a die-hard audiophile who is interested in the patterns of internal circuitry and how they are discreet, if you do and do not use premium toroidal coils and everything else. I love watching Blu-ray movies and play HD video, listen to music and make the whole experience sounds good. So with that in mind if you are looking for a thorough analysis of the results of this device with speakers that any reference to price on a grand piano, you can search for a second review. ;) It took a while "for me to write this review. Especially since this is a really complicated piece of equipment. It has more connections, more buttons, and the highest regard for the configuration of my home network computers. Do not let this get away, however, is absolutely remarkable receiver will try to convey the experience I had with him, so hopefully you can get some value from reading my wall of text revision. My setup: I'm not using any of this spectacular speaker. I have a certain mixture of KLH surround speakers, Panasonic to the rear channels and a large sub I had for years and can not remember the brand (it's a 10 "sub though.) That's my main interest was preparing a system surround sound, and not necessarily to get a crystal clear reproduction of the source material (again not an audiophile -., only the average listener) This is the reason I did not bother to spend thousands of speakers and decided to use I had my old 5.1 system. The receiver is connected to a Samsung 48 "LED LCD TV. Blu-ray and games that I have a PS3 and Xbox 360, PS2 and Nintendo Wii. I have an HD DVR from Comcast cable. TV, PS3, Xbox 360 and HD DVR all connected with HDMI cables Nintendo uses RGB RCA connectors. OK, with that of the road, I will proceed to what I went through after unpacking this thing. The first installation: Connections - This is where the confusion begins. It is a 7.2 receiver, but it is * more * than seven channels that can be connected. But it can only be seven channels simultaneously, and that is why it is labeled as 7.2. I think "0.2" comes from the fact that it has twice the sub-channel outputs, for people who think that a subwoofer is not enough. If you look at the connectors this thing has is frightening. It has an incredible amount. HDMI, Component, S-video, composite, USB, 11-ports for the speakers (yes - eleven), subwoofer connections, low level audio outputs, antenna connectors, coaxial connectors, serial port, optical ports, a CAT-5 cable input to hook the case to the Internet / World Wide Web, and other links that I do not know what their purpose is Whew! The struggle against the manual clears up some of these things to some degree. If your connections, you will notice that the entries are grouped according to their proposed purpose. One example is cable / satellite section. It has an HDMI input, component video inputs, one S-video input, composite video input, coaxial audio input and two RCA inputs for audio (left / right). Not all groups have so many, and some have different options such as "play" - it has an optical audio connection. This is for flexibility. You want the best input device supports the best performance, obviously accustomed. It would be foolish to make a nice DVD player with component output and optical audio in and attach it to your receiver with composite video and RCA audio connections in this sense is the best out of your gear stick and play them in order with what makes the most sense with your equipment. I recommend it to all get down on paper before you start plugging everything else you'll end up and.
