Works great……….for a month!
I bought two of these units, one for myself, and one for my mother. At first, we were both pleasantly surprised with the picture quality and general ease of use. What a great machine, and for such an affordable price! How sad we were when, a month from the [...]

Behind the Curve Stopgap
The Seagate FreeAgent Theater is now cheap because it is old technology and it shows. It is not a bad player for old-school video formats, but the picture is composite like an early years DVD Player, not HD. The firmware is slow, ugly, and buggy. The newer Theater+ model has [...]

Big things in small packages!
When I set out to buy my home theater in a box I set out to Best Buy to get demos of all of the latest and greatest toys. When I told the sales person my requirements (blu-ray disc player, wireless rear speakers, preferably Sony) this was the model he [...]

Great sound, decent features, terrible remote/GUI
I bought the STR-DN1000 as an upgrade to my old Yamaha receiver that didn’t have audio decoding through HDMI which I really needed since I’ve recently added a couple additional HDMI components to my set-up and needed HDMI switching. I bought it based on reviews of sound quality (anyone saying [...]

Easy to get started, difficult to get perfect
I bought this Asus board to replace a MSI board that had gone bad. I installed it, hooked it up, turned it on, and it booted up the very first time. It had no problem with my old memory which is slower than 1066 (800 I [...]

Excellent Sound & Quality
I finally received my Pioneer 1019 last night. I ended up staying up way too late last night setting this up. I purchased the Pioneer 1019 after a lengthy decision process between the Denon 1910, Onkyo 607 and Yamaha 765. I needed 4 HDMI so the earlier models wouldn’t work and [...]

Does the primary job great - others rough around the edges
I bought this one on a whim just to try out the extended detail enhancement feature. Of the three (Sharp, Color, Contrast) Sharp worked very well. I have a properly calibrated set, so the other two were pretty much of no use. [...]

Perfect replacement for a VCR (plus good upconverting DVD player)
This unit is really great! We recently got a 40″ HD TV and needed a replacement for the VCR — we wanted to record shows (and On-Demand movies) at a good enough quality for HD viewing.
One option was DVR from Comcast for $10/month (which might [...]

Great receiver!
I have been waiting a while for “the perfect receiver”. However, I have come to the conclusion that this is as close to perfect as I am going to find for my needs right now. I am using all 4 HDMI inputs (PS3, Oppo 980H, Directv HR20, and a Sony Vaio computer). [...]

Sound good, Picture good. Too bad no sync.
We bought this unit bec we saw it in the store and the picture was outstandingly beautiful. What we could not have known was that there would be an extremely annoying mismatch of picture and audio in the HD mode using our Comcast Motorola HD cable [...]
