Review from Home Theater Magazine

Review from HomeTheaterMag.com: Sherwood RD-7503

In A/V receivers, as in so many other things, new technologies start in mid- to high-priced models and work their way down. Once they have fully penetrated all or most of a manufacturer’s line, consumers who are on a budget have the same access to, say, lossless surround that more upscale buyers do. Then we at Home Theater uncork bottle after bottle of champagne in wild celebration, peel grapes for one another, run up and down the hallway, and don’t get much done for a few days.

Product Description

Sherwood's RD-7503 7.1 channel audio/video receiver with HDMI 1.3 is ideal for switching between inputs and encoding formats to produce brilliant, accurate sound. With Dolby True-HD, the RD-7503 delivers the sounds that make home-theater realistic. HDTV and Blu-Ray are more than just great images. they are also about sound. TV delivers 5.1 channels while Blu-Ray is capable up to 7.1 channels. If you don't have a surround sound component system, you're losing a great deal of what high-definition is about. The Sherwood RD-7503 advanced 7.1 channel audio/video receiver is the heart and mind of that component system, ready to deliver the best home-theater sound to your home entertainment system.

This review is from: Sherwood RD7503 100 Watt 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Electronics)

This thing is chock-full-of-features, perhaps to the negative because it makes it all very complicated for someone who just wants to plug it in and rock the house. But if you take your time, you will appreciate the fact that these extra options allow for more flexibility when it comes to working in a heterogeneous electronic home environment. I have a mixed bag of blueray, X-Box, Wii, Dish Network, etc. components - so it took a while to set it up correctly. The easiest way to get all these working is to run all your video components to your TV (HDMI preferred) and then HDMI and Optical (audio) out to your amp (i.e. "video 1" channel) - though I make no claim that it's the right way :). I would recommend this amp to a friend, but warn them that the remote/feature set is complex. It's a great low-cost model for someone who wants all the features/connection options...

This review is from: Sherwood RD7503 100 Watt 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this since it has 3 HDMI inputs. I can then output to my TV via the 1 HDMI output.

It has inputs galore. No shortage of devices can be plugged in.

Instructions and remote are the "stereo"typical stereo instructions. Very technical.

Sound is fine. I have it hooked up to surround sound. I have a Apple TV (hdmi), cable box (hdmi), LG Blu-ray/netflix player (hdmi and optical) hooked up to it. It allows for only 3 video inputs.

The only issue I had was with the LG Blu-Ray/neflix player. Netflix audio did not stream over HDMI. I connected an optical cable and configured the receiver and player to use optical. Problem solved.

Uses about 40 watts on standby, which isn't much of a power savings feature. I just turn it off. The "soft" off button is standby. You have to get up and push a button in/out to turn it completely off.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great buy for the price, November 9, 2011
