This products greatest strength is the low price! It is a great, budget priced receiver. However, in many ways, you do get what you pay for. It has all the features of a Basic Pro Logic reciever as shown in another review but see Weaknesses.

It lacks Digital ins and outs. It lacks composite video or S-Video inputs and outputs. The Tape/Tape Monitor system isn't too flexible. It provides DSP modes however, in my system, these are rather artificial sounding and harsh to use.

If you have inexpensive, small to mid sized speakers, a small TV and a VHS VCR, this receiver will do the trick.

I too have noticed, as mentioned in another article, a scratchiness in the volume control especially when using the remote. This could most likely be cured using a contact spray (but havent tried as it is not TOO bothersome and would void any warranty.)


Overall, a good receiver for the price! Great for a small to mid sized home theatre system.

I still prefer the hearty equipment of the 70's especially Marantz and Pioneer, but for Pro-logic, this is the only one I have owned.
