Fantastic for both audio and visual by Thomas Wilde, I got mine for a few months and I am completely satisfied with your purchase. At first I had my doubts, because I've always been a very expensive component systems. This is my fourth Yamaha receiver, but the others I used for the kids and the whole house stereo system. I had just switched from a 9 "CRT projector on a Panasonic LCD projector 3000, and decided to go all-digital was fine. I have weeks reading reviews, download both the user and service manuals for dozens of makes and models . When all was said and done, that decision was really pretty simple. This thing has almost everything a man could want. I have a large dedicated theater is designed for both landscape and listening to music or watching movies on a 120 "display. I have carefully assembled a system that does both without problems, and do not want to ruin the top when it came to this purchase, this was as close as I could hope for. Mind you, not as good as my old system when it comes to sound. But then my power amp alone was $ 4500 and could feed a normal speaker in full size cinema. This has a lot of power for my nine speakers. It's just a hair less detail in the sound. Before I could hear if a pianist was not completely cut her nails, because you could hear a click when the environment ends at the ivory piano keys. It does not quite get there. That said, my wife likes it much better because he hated to hear every little detail, in particular, to poor mixing and microphone for recording so many. He especially hated listening to the vagaries of playing Paganini Midori - Midori felt his fingers slip into place when my wife had spent years thinking that being one of the best performances ever. She's back to the love of power, and I must say I like it better than a little detail can be overstated, because you get the bad with the good. As for the video, this thing leaves nothing to be desired. One of my DVD player is an Oppo 981, which always gets good reviews and is an excellent player, especially for the older DVD upscaling to 1080p. At first I just wanted them to pass the signal straight through without any change. After back and forth a lot of time I actually chose to have the receiver to convert everything from analog and digital sources. It's done a great job and I have no complaints. That said, there are so many possibilities and opportunities it will almost to the point of being frustrating. How to enable visitors to listen to music in a Munich cathedral or church in Freiburg pop, it's easy to find what you really love to lose. My suggestion is to relax in a chair, close your eyes and ask someone to make changes in the parameters of selection so you really have the best setting for those who build their system instead of something of lesser quality ( that most of the units out there), or those who were like me and had enough to drag the massive components that take up space and generate heat, which has something more for all to enjoy. The possible negative aspects of the unit are: need at least a couple of inches of ventilation in the upper air circulation (up only a fan could call 120 or 90 mm computer case, if things are very small), as most receptor on the remote control (actually, there are two remote controls that comes with (full function model and another stripped)) could be better and could have a bit of trial and error, for those like me who are accustomed to having more than one subwoofer is designed for this one (although my 15 Earthquake Supernova marble "almost hit the wall in the bathroom when I was watching the latest version of War of the Worlds) 01/29/2010 Just wanted to say that I
