The bottomline:
The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price

If you own a Bravia and movies are your main criteria, the Sony DAV-F500 makes a lot of sense. Its video upscaling produces quality images, but music lovers will be disappointed.
We take a tour through the International Broadcast Centre at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, plus see some of the technology employed at the Olympic venues.
The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.
Hi, sorry to ask what must be a stupid question, but what does a receiver actually do? We're looking at buying the Pioneer 7th gen 42" plasma, and need to buy the accompanying equipment. We just didn't expect to spend almost the same amount on a receiver! Is it worth the investment? I had thought the speakers were the most important in making the most out of a home entertainment system?
Appreciate any help or guidance you can offer.
