Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

The AVR 5 is provides the best value for a pro-logic receiver available today. It has dolby pro-logic, and has 5.1 AC-3 dolby digital inputs. This means that all you have to do is buy a DVD player with a built in decoder and you are ready to go.

Pros: Styling, price, quality, power, sound

I bought this receiver to replace a poor-quality JVC Pro-Logic receiver. I had just purchased a pair of new tower speakers that were sort of "bright" (i.e. a lot of treble). My old JVC only had preset tone settings (rock, jazz, classical)...

easy to use if your using a basic surround sound home setup, but the 6 channel preouts are not defined in the instruction manual for new users. clear crisp sound, remote is top of the line, all in one remote anything you need to do from your chair can be done with the remote the only thing i dont like is the surround sound explaintion in the instruction manual. no advice on using the 6 ch. preout amp.
