Good budget receiver. Noteable missing features is the lack of zone 2 line level and pre-outs. what that means is that you can't play a your music on your patio and have the game playing inside. Does have standard AB switching though, so you can turn on/off a second source. B/C of this, I traded mine in for the 1122, which is the next model up. Newegg had it for $399.99 last week, don't know if that's still there.

This receiver does have Airplay though, which is great for playing tunes through your surround sound system. Pretty sweet integration and no need for another device like an Apple TV. That said, only tunes, no video.

Note that shipping is $5, making this $245.

I purchased this last week from Newegg for $250 shipped. Due to arrive tomorrow.

It was highly recommended by a home theater-phile friend. I wanted it because I can consolidate all video inputs into one HDMI. Supposedly it up-converts analog into HDMI.
