Review 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 the norm. Denon's latest midrange model, the AVR-1910, is a standout in this regard, offering up the best upconverted image quality...

Onkyo TX-SR607 A/V receiver
Review When Onkyo announced the TX-SR607, the company made a big deal that it was the first A/V receiver to include onboard Dolby Pro Logic IIz processing. Dolby's new format relies on "height" speakers--two satellite speakers situated above the standard front right/left speakers--to create a more "airy"...Intimidating A/V receivers simplified - Jun 30, 2009
Crave Yamaha neoHD 2.1 A/V receivers are usually hailed as the centerpiece of a home theater system, though most models are hardly user-friendly in terms of operation and design. This is all ... Read story »
Pioneer VSX-1018AH-S A/V receiver
Review Just a few years ago, HDMI connectivity was a major step-up feature on A/V receivers; now, it's standard for all but the least expensive models. That's mostly a good thing because although HDMI can be finicky, its one-cable simplicity makes it much easier to set up. The Pioneer VSX-1018AH-S...
LG BD300 Blu-ray player
Review Standalone Blu-ray players have certainly been held back by confusing Blu-ray profiles and high movie prices, but one of the biggest reasons they haven't taken off is the Sony PlayStation 3.

Pioneer VSX-1019AH A/V receiver
Review The iPod is the most popular audio gadget of the decade, which is why it's incredibly frustrating that it's not easier to use it with your A/V receiver. Either you're stuck using a patch cable and getting up from the couch to make playback changes, or you have to shell out for a pricey proprietary...
Sony STR-DA5300ES A/V receiver
Review Last year, we were wowed by the Sony STR-DA5200ES because it was the first A/V receiver we'd seen with a true menu-driven graphical user interface (GUI). Most receivers still rely on archaic-looking onscreen displays with blocky white text--in combination with cryptic feedback from the front-panel...
Denon AVR-3808 A/V receiver
Review This has been a landmark year for A/V receivers. Traditionally, receivers have just been the muscle of a home theater, but now there's no denying that they're the brain. As well, they contain more functionality than nearly any other piece of home theater equipment. The Denon AVR-3808 is the epitome...
Onkyo TX-SR606 A/V receiver

This year, Onkyo has released an updated model, the TX-SR606, and has made a great product...Jump to page: [1]
