Strengths: This reciever supports 6 devices, provides on screen video sources and setup.MCACC will setup automatic speaker size,location,tone,balance for 5.1 6.1 and 7.1 systems, this is a great feature....

Weaknesses: The instructions leave alot to be desired,difficult to find manual tone adjustmsnt such as Treble,Midrange and Bass

Summary: A great AV receiver all around with enough power to shake, rattle and roll your house and your neighbors. Shop around for a price, I found a bargin for $584.00, free shipping, no tax, considering the list is $1200.00

Strengths: - Nice looking- Auto calibration- Quite easily setup

Weaknesses: - Manual is not as good as I'd like- Remote control is not quite user friendly

Summary: Nice looking amp! I have this with a set of KEF 5.1 speakers (2005.2) and this combo provides some nice sound. I'm not an expert but setup didn't take me too long. I don't like the interface of the remote control. I like the auto calibration function, which took about 5 mins to set itself up but then I'm not an expert to tell if the settings are correct or not.
