Yes, we really do get people trying to order items from here at prices from 40 years ago, so we have to put this. If I could rate it any number, I'd give it a 4.3, as it was smoking in it's day, but now lacks HDMI and other DTS features.This is an Information page about Hifi that was Sold In The UK 1956-1981. I do not give this unit a 5 overall due to the power limitations and. It's an older unit, so this was pretty much industry standard. I'm going to break with others who have complained about the remote setup. Optimally it should provide crisp, accurate, clear voice and moderate mid-range sounds. In my opinion, the center channel is THE most important speaker in a home theater array. the RX-8000V allows a certain degree of power increase in the center channel, but not much. it's the power use measure concordant to my speaker drainage. Of course, I've been careful not to infer 67 is a decibel rating or anything else. and the movie cues up cacophonous soundtrack music with grumbling/grinding. Frodo and Sam approach Minus Ithil/Morgul just as Sauron's hordes prepare to march.a large power surge consolidates into a forceful tornado blast. I strained the unit out to a safety set by cranking Lord of the Rings: Return of the King up to 67. The amplifier readout for power levels go up to 100, but with wrap sound connected (all speakers) I typically have to crank to about 55+ before I'm approaching tolerance limits. As such, one can't give it a top rating on power to serve a system. Such factors become clearer when one connects a power hungry center channel (like my homespun variety in a series-parallel 4/1, mid/tweeter configuration) or other larger variety speakers for auxiliary channels (my laterals are 14'x8'圆' acoustic research bookshelf speakers, not the typical cutie-pie Bose cigarette boxes). While this was an awesome unit, it was not have the highest power on the market. This unit served a 5.1 system OR a bonus 2 channel stereo setup at 120 watts per channel (the 5.1 array served 100 watts per channel). Today we've evolved to 7.1 (DTS NEO) channels plus enhancement features stacking bonus speakers to 9.1 and 11.1 arrays. With this in mind, i remember Gladiator's release in DTS-ES (6.1) and not being able to make full use of the sound DTS-ES out to 7 channels (6.1). I bought the unit refurbished in either 1999 or 2000 (refurb), for $250, about 2/3rds or less than comparable units of the time. This is a 10-year old unit, and I believe it was first release in the fall of 1999.

I've had this unit for just over 10 years, and it has served me well.
