    That interface just begs to be placed onto a handheld touchscreen remote. A fully integrated remote would be cool.

    @MePerson: Try a Harmony remote. They have several, some with touchscreens, some with touchscreens AND buttons, and some with just buttons...

    Honestly, I think a Harmony would do better at managing the complexity of a home theatre. Good thought, though.

    I would call this the receiver for the person that doesn't want a receiver. The reason it doesn't have many inputs is because anyone that would want this won't have many components. 2.1 is a waste of time in a receiver. clamp down speaker hookups mean that it is not meant for good speakers and good speaker wire. Useless.

    Spring clips for speaker connections? I'd stick with similarly-priced Onkyos.

    In reply to Onkyo Launches First Dolby Pro Logic IIz Receiver That Adds Vertical Sound Dimension
    We have two horizontal ears, and yet hear vertical sound due to timing differences and other biological features. This suggests a vertical sound component could be simulated with regular 5.1 or 7.1 systems. Is this just an effort to create the next AV fad and drive purchases?

    @bandit: Technically speaking, two speakers is all you should ever need given the fact that we only have two ears. That said, for a variety of reasons (room layout, various blocking issues, etc), when doing a stereo system in a home, you need far more than two speakers.


    And let me tell you, there have been at least three times I have watched movies that I thought "wow, it sure would be great if this stereo had a vertical dimension". So, now I can go spend a few hundred times for the fourth time I think that in a couple of years. Or -- not.

    @Révolution: Pro Logic isn't designed for discrete channels anyway. It would matrix the sound to the new channels.

    @[x7productions]: ONKYO actually did a few decent ones if you hit $800 MSRP and above. Some reviews even called the receivers on par with standalone ones, and at that price the ONKYOs offer full connectivity options. But yeah, generally HTIBs suck.

    the sheer awesomeness of the receiver is causing the center speaker to levitate.

    Does the HDMI Repeater handle audio as well as video? This always confuses me. For instance, could I connect my ps3 to the the receiver and the the receiver to the TV and have both audio and video through the HDMI?
