It's a good AV Receiver, but paired with the Harmony One Remote THERE ARE ISSUES by Brandon Carney
I like my AV Receiver, it works really well. I like having all of the video inputs on my receiver because it reduces the amount of visible cords running to my TV (I live in an apartment with my TV mounted on the wall, I didn't cut holes in the wall to run the cords). The video on my TV is outstanding, which leads me to believe that the video processing card on the Receiver is very good.

Over all I'm very satisfied with this purchase, my only critique is that I have a Harmony One remote and the remote has some issue with selecting the correct inputs, i.e. when you press the button on the remote to set up your activity, it may select the right one but it could very likely switch to a different input right after the correct input has been selected. I've had a lot of issues with this, even though I'm using the IR Harmony One Data Base for ALL of the commands (which is recommended by the software and my myself, I had more issues using the learn IR capability).

Other than it's compatibility with the Harmony One I have no negative remarks.
