I really don't understand how people can complain that this Pioneer Home Theater Receiver is lacking certain features. If it doesn't have features you want, buy something else. Also, it's a good idea to look at the user manual from the manufacturer's website before purchasing, to be sure it has what you want. That way there will be no surprises. I do understand 1 star for those unfortunate reviewers who got stuck with lemons. I wasn't personally looking for too much from a receiver, just wanted to hook up a budget 5.1 system in my family room. For around $550 I got this Pioneer Home Theater Receiver, Jamo C400 center, 4 Monoprice 8" 3-way in-walls and Polk PSW10 sub. This receiver has performed just great, there are a lot settings to allow you to adjust the sound to your taste or you can just let the Pioneer Home Theater Receiver decide, sit back and enjoy!
