Easy For a Novice
Pros: Easy Set up, Auto Cal feature
Cons: Speaker connections,
I have my receiver connected to the Onkyo SKS-HT750 speakers, Sony 60' SXRD and PS 3 for Blu-ray/DVD. The biggest pain in the butt was connecting and running the wires for the speakers. My only real problem was the speaker connection on the back of the receiver. It was a little annoying trying to fit my speaker wire into the little hole and then screw down the connection. Outside of the speaker wire's set up was a breeze. The auto calibrate feature was easy to use. The sound coming out of the 7.1 channel speakers is amazing. I'm not an audiophile by any means, so the sound fits perfectly to my likings for the size room I have. I've only had this receiver connect for about a week and I can't stop watching movies now. If your in the market for AV receiver and looking for a good functioning/low cost receiver. I'd go with this one. Just based on the opitions offered by this receiver compared to other's in the same price point. Overall I'm happy with my purchase
