content: I decided to go for this receiver instead of the TX-SR674 which is exactly the same as this except for the added benefit of up-conversion to HDMI for $200 more.I am not disappointed. This receiver is very user friendly. It supports speakers of 6 Ohm impedance which many receivers do not openly support. If you are buying a new speaker system, it should not matter. Set up is very easy. Plenty of inputs! The on-screen set up display is very useful. The remote control can't operate my Viewsonic TV, though.The sound is sharp and crisp. It has the ProLogicIIx which is a plus.
