I currently have it setup with 5.1 in my main listening room and Zone 2 pushing a couple of speakers on our patio. It handles multi-channel PCM from Blu-Ray players with no problem at all. I didn't need to see a "True HD" logo when playing my Blu-Rays, but if you do the newer model AVR-1909 will do that for you. For me, multi-channel PCM over HDMI is all I need. It gives the full uncompressed HD audio. The Blu-Ray disks I have played have all sounded great. Everything blends well and the vocals are all crisp and understandable. The sound is warm and full. It sounds much fuller than the same speakers driven with a 5-year old Yamaha 5.1 receiver. Music CDs sound great as well, and the simulated 5.1 adds some depth. I found the setup to be not nearly as complex as others have. The auto-setup worked OK, but I did tweak some of the values a bit (it left the subwoofer at -12db which just was not enough bass). I did this all without ever hitting a wrong key or having to consult the manual. I only wish it could display the on-screen menu through HDMI, but I knew before buying that it couldn't. It displays just fine over component video. While the menu is not flashy at all (white text on a black screen), it does get the job done. The remote, I must say, is as horrible as others have said. Having to flip it over and open a flimsy door to reveal some functions I commonly use is a pain. I wish they had incorporated a slightly wider remote with all function keys on the front. Oh well, I'll most likely get a Harmony One or something similar to control all of my gear so that will take care of that problem. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase and would definitely buy it again. If you can still find one for a good deal, I would get it and save hundreds over the current year's model. I almost knocked off one star for the horrible remote control, but the rest of the strengths definitely overshadow this one weakness. Customer Review 1 : awsome reciever - H. barraza - RiVeRSiDe CoUnTy i have this baby connected to my tv 42in LG to my ps3 to my comp to my wii to my cable box to my ipod i have klipsch speakers n klipsch subwoofer and these babys hit hard super bass time i think a have a few more input conentions but i dont have anything to pluggin as for the bad reviews don't buy use just buy it new its worth what ever the price it is and i got mine expensive and it still working :) Customer Review 2 : Great reciever AVR-1909 - M. Haering - NY Love this reciever, when I ordered it they actually sent the 1909 which is the 09 model. Works great with PS3 and Samsung 52" A850 perfectly. Only complaint is the controller buttons on both sides, it this does not matter as most people get a universal controller anyway. Awesome!!!
