2.0 out of 5 stars Great for the winter, November 29, 2000

By A Customer

This receiver runs very hot, regardless of where it is set up. There is a cooling fan attached to the back, but it has never kicked on and will supposedly do so only under heavy loads. I called Panasonic Customer Service and was told that the fan should come on and that I need to take it in for repairs. I would have been much better off buying something else. Soundwise it is very good and the built in tuner is a nice change from my old set up of having a separate tuner and amplifier. It is an affordable home theater component, but the heat issue is a real drawback.

I've had this reciever for ~10 years, never had one problem. My only complaint is that it does not have optical or HDMI ports

Let's put it this way I have had this receiver for over 11 years and use it daily to pump out sound for my system. I absolutely love it and the only reason I am not getting rid of it is because it has no digital optical ports. I am upgrading my TV and have to upgrade my receiver with it.
You served me well Technics and I will never understand why you quit making receivers and went to turntables.... uh ok.
Thanks for 11 years of great movie sound.
