Four HDMI inputs; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; upconverts analog signals to 1080i over HDMI output; Sirius-ready; excellent automatic speaker calibration; switches as many as six high-definition video sources; improved remote.

Great VAlue on the NET at ONE CALL or Circuit...

Audyssey 2EQ automatic calibration system IS AMAZING. adjusts volume, cross over, etc that unless you are a true tec GURU you could NEVER do it yourself. This is worth the PRICE and my upgrade.

Cannot agree with CNET upconverserion or pass through errors. Not important since my HDTV has a great picture and is capable of 1080P vs 1080I limits. out Callede ONKYO and ONE CALL; no PROBLEMs reported.
