Great Sound, Dolby True HD, And DTSMA

So Far a great Receiver. Only had a problem on one blu-ray disc with DTSMA Bitstreamed, yet all other discs I have tried work fine with DTSMA and Dolby TrueHD Bitstreamed and the receiver decoding DTSMA AND Dolby TrueHD. I have heard alot of problems if you are using a PS3 as your blu-ray player, but I am using a samsung 1400 and it has worked perfectly so far. I am also using a Directv Hr20 HDDVR and have had no problems. The GUI is the best I have seen. The sound quailty is excellent, with plenty of power for a 20'x15' home theater room. This was an replacement to my Harman Kardon AVR247 because of the 3 HDMI inputs and the HD audio codecs decoding.

Good But, just like any other receiver has some bugs!

If your going to be listening to music and movies this is the receiver to buy bar none. As the review below points out a lot of short comings and faults I found I had more issues with the Denon unit, which doesn't even come with pre/outputs and I wish it did because I think there Amp section is lacking. I also had issues with HDMI with Denon/Onkyo/Pioneer you name it, everyone seems to have there own idea of what a spec is for HDMI. ;) The unit is built well and the lights on the unit can be turned off via the menu. Very easy to setup, if you can read ;) Again if you should have a HDMI problem exchange it or try another brand, pretty simple, so far no issues really worth mentioning yet, but then again I am too busy enjoying the movies and listening to great music to find any faults yet.

Does everything it is supposed to do.

I purchased this receiver because of the exceptional sound quality, sleek aesthetics, and price. It has done everything that I had expected it do. I have not experienced any of the problems that been listed in the other comments here. My situation is a little different though, I dont have any video passing through the receiver, and it seems like that may be bypassing some of the issues that currently plague some people. I also use my computer as a HTPC and I view my blu-rays and hd-dvds from my computer. Whether I have received a good apple, or the others have received a rotten one, I dont know, and I dont really care, because it works exactly how it should work with zero hiccups, and it sounds incredible!
