This AVR is awesome! It is very flexible with many different inputs (such as DVD, VCR, PS3). I really like way I can input different types of sound, like composite or optical, to every video input....
I bought a Denon DRA-685 stereo receiver from Crutchfield a few years ago and recently decided to get a 1080P TV and a more modern receiver. I talked to several people at Crutchfield and told them...
Offering high power, high-definition video upscaling and deinterlacing along with HDMI 1.3 repeating and 1080p compatibility, Yamaha once again offers a complete solution with the RX-V863 that is...
Bottom line is DO NNOT buy thhis reciever if you do not have HD programming from on your TV service. This reciever will give a good picture output ONLY if all video inputs are HDMI. If you video...
"Warranty replacement just as bad as the original one"
I bought the original one in January. In February I had to send it back because I lost the sound all together. They replaced it with a new one. Here we are one month later, this one did the same...
There's nothing out there that is better than this!
I purchased this receiver a few months ago. I wanted to get used to it before writing a review. I own several stereos from various makers but this is the tops! There is all most nothing that...
The receiver has plenty of power and outstanding sound at higher levels. The HDMI outputs are great and the upconversion is actually noticeable. I have it connected to a Sony Bravia HD Plasma...
When the sales consultant recommended a lower-priced unit, I opted for the more costly Yamaha because I expected the HDMI features to be superior. But they are not. HDMI inputs are available only...
With an extremely low asking price, the Yamaha RX-V463 is good choice for those who want to take advantage of some of the latest AV features without busting the bank. This year marked an almost...
I really can't say enough about this receiver. Bought it on Newegg for $219 shipped. Hooked up to 5 Bose jewelcube speakers, with a 12" Bostan Acc. sub. Crisp clean sounds, and great picture...
Horrible remote. I'm sure this is a great receiver, but if you have to turn on the lights to find a button on the remote, it's almost unusable. The setup is not easy and the manual very hard to...
This radio works well. Set up is a little tricky, but once you figure it out, it performs as advertised. Make sure you get some rechargeable batteries for the remote. It is tough on batteries....
Great receiver IR blaster don't seem to work the volume control on my surround receiver. I don't know if it's common or something with mine the remote eats batteries. Other then being a battery hog...
Entertainment. We've all got to have it, especially in our cars. We've seen an explosion in the last 3-5 years of audio entertainment products, from portable MP3 players with a fixed amount of...
I purchased as a replacement unit for my Pioneer Avic D2. The first one was damaged when transferred to my new vehicle. It works great. It helps me navigate around traffic jams in the Phoenix Metro...
I purchased the AVIC-D2, XM and the iPod kit from Amazon. I then went to my local installer and confirmed with them that they could install all three devices and still allow my...
Entertainment. We've all got to have it, especially in our cars. We've seen an explosion in the last 3-5 years of audio entertainment products, from portable MP3 players with a fixed amount of...
I recently installed this in conjunction with a newly purchased Pioneer receiver. Being the *true* integrated solution for the receiver, there really is no other choice in my mind. I am a bit...
Rule one: If you are going to buy the Smart Adapter you also have to buy the XM universal tuner box regardless of what brand of car or system maker that you have. They should really try to sell...
After 3 years of enjoying Delphi's MyFi, I had to replace it. The SkyFi3 was my gamble and it did not pay off. The reviews were mixed but, I chose to try this model. Within the first hour after...
I got this to replace my MyFi which failed recently (won't charge) after a little over two years. I have to have one that records, since I like to listen while biking and hiking, and the...
I've had a fairly decent experience with my SkyFi3. First, don't even bother with the FM modulation...get it properly installed or do it yourself. I had a local installer mount the skyfi and run...
I bought the SkyFi3 because it receives XM radio, records it, and lets my pause and play live radio like a Tivo. Also, I can play MP3 files with Micro SD cards, so I can always add more without...
It works as expected and reliably. I don't have any complaints. The reception is quite good too. I have it hooked up to a Panasonic stereo. Very reliable.
I bicycle a lot and wanted to listen to live radio instaed of my mp3 player all of the time. Well, I live in Vermont and I dont suggest buying this for that purpose. When I tried it and then called...
I love this XM radio. Both my kids want one now. Since my son moved my antenna to the back of my car window I get a perfect signal 99% of the time and I live in N. Michigan...trees galore. My...
Samsung HELIX (YXM1Z) XM Radio/1GB MP3 Player This is the one you need if you love XM radio i.e. music, news, stock reports, sports commentary and also if you love MP3 feature. Very good...
I have had the Helix (which is exactly the same as the Inno, just a different company and different casing) for over a year now. The Helix is an MP3 player and XM satellite radio in one small...
This "brag book" was almost exactly what I wanted as a gift for my wife. A color would have been more attractive for her, but you take what you can get. By the time I gave it to her and she used...
A great product. Small enough to carry in a purse or pocket. Resolution is fine and the capacity is large. Very easy to download photos into the album. A winner!
I ordered this as a Christmas gift and sad to say that they had to give it back to me to exchange since the first unit would not even power up. After I got he second one, I decided to test it...
I've been using one of these units for about 9 months now. The good features are excellent stereo quality. FM reception is also excellent. Issues I have include: handsfree cellphone use in...
Bought this for my wife as an upgrade to factory stereo in new vehicle. Blue tooth was very easy to sync and use. Bluetooth and price were primary drivers for this purchase. Unit has enough...
In an age where many people no longer want a cd player in their vehicle and would prefer a reciever with an input for an iPod, stereo manufacturers must be worried. After all, how can they justify...
This head unit exceeded my expectations. It was purchased to replace the stock stereo in my girlfriend's 2000 Honda Civic, which had no tape or CD player. I paired this unit with a set of...
USB access and search is kind of flakey, needs DEDICATED PRESET BUTTONS,. The dash adapter for my '04 Jeep Liberty has the wrong radius on the corners so it fits kinda tight, I'm sure it will...
Installed this unit in my Corvette. Great interface with my ipod Nano, but realized when I shut off the car, it did not shot off my iPod. The iPod would continue to play, even though the stereo...
I chose this unit primarily to use with my iPod and iPhone. And generally it works well. The included USB-to-iPod cable passes the audio, control signals, and charges. All good. But I found after...
I like everything about this receiver EXCEPT that iPhone / iPod touch support is very lousy. You have to spend more money for KCE-422i cable... The worst thing is that this connection is analogue,...
It is too big to fit many locations, esp with all the cables sticking out. Works well, we do not have many HD stations in the area, but on a trip recently it picked up and held stations alot longer.
I'm disappointed. I got this unit so I could hear some of the local stations better than in regular FM. Yes, they are at the ends of the dial, but still, I expected to hear them. Instead, I may...
If you live outside a major metro area, than the HD signal will come and go depending on terrain.......a very fustratrating listen overall between the secondary stations dropping and the primary...
Quick shipping. Was the wrong Bus Interface, but that wasn't the vendors fault - it was Pioneers! After some extensive rewiring and notifying Pioneer of their mistake, and sending them pictures...
I bought this radio for my brother in law that just got his first car and it didn't have a radio. I didn't realize that it was an analog tuner but that is ok the kid just wanted some tunes. it is...
I thought it would make a good front of car MP3 for a amp/eq combo
Pyle PLR24MPF AM/FM Receiver MP3 Playback with USB/SD/AUX-IN I was going to run the cheap combo in front and my JBL's in back with Pioneer 240 Mosfet Amp for back with adadapter. It was easy...
I read the reviews before I purchased mine, didn't sound like much but with all the car stereo thefts in my area I figured what the heck, maybe they won't steal this one. The first one I received...
Being a longtime Onkyo user, I was hesitant at first to go with a Sony for a receiver, as I only buy their Laptops and TVs. But for the price of an HDMI receiver that could decode all the latest...
Would not recommend. Sacrifice some sound for a better 1080p upscaling amp that has on screen menues (this one does not) and easier hookups with a better remote,
"Great Receiver for the money - BTW, it DOES work w/ PS3"
I bought this to replace my old Onkyo receiver, which was good for its time but outdated now. Specifically, I wanted a receiver that could switch between various HDMI signals and could handle the...
SONY SUCKS!!! BUY YAMAHA!! The new blu-ray 400 disc changer has the same issue using HDMI on most TV'S and Video Components DON"T BUY THIS RECEIVER IF USING PS3. You'll have to return it....
"Great bang for the buck, Issues with DVI -HDMI cables"
Overall I like the unit, and my wife likes the price. I still have some issues to iron out regarding the DVI-HDMI issue, which is a biggie. My main goal was to have everything run through the...
Photo gallery:Sony STR-DN1000 Last year, Sony's STR-DG920 was our top midrange AV receiver pick. Its graphical user interface was a step above the text-based displays of competitors and its analog...
The Good: - Lots of inputs and outputs - Great sound The Bad: - The remote is rubbish. - The GUI for setting things up is terrible - The Web interface provided by the device to alternatively set...
Photo gallery:Denon AVR-1910 The capability to upconvert analog video sources has become standard on midrange receivers, but the feature is rarely well-implemented, with poor image quality being...
