"Great for HT, mediocre for music"
Pros: Really user-friendly, intuitive interface, well-written owners manual, attractive looks, decent remote, tons of DSP features (though not sure how many I'd ever use in reality).
Cons: Only 1 digital coax and 1 optical input; no amplifier pre-outs; does not allow bi-amping using 2nd room channel; music quality is not that great, I got the Marantz SR5400 instead for just a little more, my ears are in heaven!

"Great price! Better performance!"
Pros: Great sound. Powerful. Versatile set-up usually found only on much more expensive receivers. Great value. You would have to spend $800.00 or more to surpass. 7 day a week ONKYO set-up support!
Cons: Such versatality, so many options. You must read and understand the manual. Yes, you can plug and play. But to fully take advantage of this receivers features takes a bit of studying.

Pros: Overall, I was absolutely happy with this receiver. It had everything I needed.
Cons: The IR Range on this receiver is absolute line-of-sight. My TV, Tivos, DVD player and older Sony receiver picked up signals bounced off all walls. Now I have to point directly at receiver... if I don't my pre-defined macros don't always get sent correctly

Pros: Dual zone feature is great once you figure out the second zone is analog only. Yes, it's in bold print in the manual but who reads that? I bought this for my parents new ranch house. My dad loves the fact that my daughter can watch a DVD inside while w
Cons: Lots of adjustments to screw up if you don't use the manual. Yes, you can reset everything if you screw it up like I did.

Pros: Used primarily for Home Theatre and can tell a definite improvement in detail, sound stage and sound quality in DVD's and Television programming. Vast improvement over an older Sony receiver. A great upgrade and value for the home theatre novice. Bough
Cons: If you like your music/movies extremely loud I'd upgrade to the 701 with the additional Watts per channel, otherwise you will be very pleased with this receiver.
