Awesome AV receiverby cheeseball - August 23, 2005

Pros: Pure audio sound mode, THX and easy to use.

Cons: Runs hot , is bulky, no network card.

Review: The SR701 is an awesome machine for music as well as home theatre. The Pure audio mode gives superb clarity in music playback. The TV/video playback modes are great too, and it remembers the mode you prefer for each input. It was really easy to set up and has good on-screen menus. Haven't used in 7.1 yet, but it is great in 5.1. A wireless network card would have been a good option (might be in the 800).

Great Receiver and Worth Every Pennyby - September 10, 2003

Pros: A ton of digital and analog capabilities. Does 5.1 and 6.1 surround sound.

Cons: Receiver is a bit big but was expected due to the future expandabilities it gives. Only complaint is the FM Antenna is comes with. Reception is poor and a booster antenna is needed as an add-on. Minor issue and should not be a factor when looking at this

Great Receiver that almost does it allby - August 25, 2003

Pros: Thrilling sound and surround capability. Fully array of digital and analog inputs. Very competetive price. This receiver is affordable and will leaves you with jaw dropping sound on 5.1 and 6.1 DVDs.

Cons: Lacks tape monitor. To use external eq a separte amp must be used.
