Manufacturer: Onkyo USA
Manufacturer description
You'll find very little differentiation between most entry-level home theater receivers: passable performance, negligible processing capabilities and little (if any) versatility. The TX-SR304 5.1-channel home theater receiver doesn't follow that well-trodden path. By giving you the connections to the A/V components on everyone's lips today - HDTVs, digital video recorders, gaming consoles, etc - the TX-SR304 wants to broaden your entertainment possibilities, not limit them to basic DVD and CD playback. Naturally, you'll want the audio quality associated with the Onkyo name. That's why Onkyo has included the circuitry and quality parts found in other Onkyo home theater receivers: Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry, 192 kHz/24-bit DACs, a 32-bit DSP chip, and an H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply) transformer. Finally, keeping in line with what's really important, the TX-SR304 provides a user-friendly, accessible solution to home entertainment.

Starter Receiverby buells - April 6, 2008
Pros: Full range of sound options and inputs
Cons: Max Power Output
Review:
It's great for someone that is just getting into their first receiver. It doesn't have the power to drive a killer sound system, but it can handle a small room.
