5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality for the buck!, November 19, 2001

This unit replaced my 6 year old H/K that had regular 'Pro Logic'. What a difference! ... sound quality and setup features are great. The 'Simulated Surround Sound' does great with old movies -- watched the original "King Kong" last night... was great to have the rear channels making understandable sound, not just some muffled noise. The remote is nice too! ... is able to control most necessary functions for my JVC S-VHS, Sony Wega TV, and Digital Cable box. The rear `switched' outlet is a nice feature built into the system - switches power on/off when you do a power-off/on with the remote.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Special, October 16, 2001

By A Customer

I purchased the Technics based on the good words of Consumer Reports. If I had no stereo equipment, I might consider it a good deal at a good price. Unfortunately, my $... Teac AV receiver from Costco seems to be the equal of the Technics. My 11 year old Yamaha integrated Dolby surround sound amp is certainly it's superior.

The back panel is well laid out, with a good number of connections. However, setup is not as easy or intuitive as one would hope for.

If budget is a concern, with the $... rebate, this is probably a decent buy. However, I think there are other alternatives that might be considered as better choices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent unit! Great performance., September 6, 2004

I have this unit for over 3 years now and I am more than happy with it. It is the central unit of my Technics home theathre system. The good number of digital ports (including one coax, as well as the optical ones) allows the connection of a comprehensive set of devices to it (I use the coax-digital to connect my laptop into teh unit, for instance). The unit drives the 5 speakers + subwoofer unit very well. I am most definitively happy with this unit and should take quite a while until I think about replacing it.
