    Did u read any of it or did u just look at the picture? It has HDMI IN and it has Sirius and AM/FM tuner along with a 5 disc cd changer. I guess I was lookin more for RCA's reputation/quality with home theater and if

    1000-Watts Total System Power: 4 x 167-Watt L/R Front & L/R Back, 167-Watt center channel speaker, 167-Watt subwoofer

    is any good? Like I said to my ear it sounded good.

      It has HDMI out, not in.

      It's also Sirius READY, doesn't have Sirius built in. Maybe you should have read it before you slam someone else for not reading it.

        Wattage on a receiver is VERY misleading. I have a Marantz that is only 80x6 that would BLOW a lot of receivers out of the water. Same goes with Harmon Kardon receivers.

          I have a Yamaha and it's very loud and the audio quality is very, very good.

            Yep. I have an HK receiver...AVR340. Sound is fantastic. 55 watts per front R/L channel, 55 per center channel and 55 per surround R/L channel.

              I had a H/K AVR-120 and it was fantastic until the front left channel stopped working. I then upgraded to a silver Marantz 5600 which I love as well, but I'm only using it for 2 channel sound right now, as our living room is not set up very well for surround sound.

                    I've read very good things about Marantz. I can't recall ever hearing one, but I know I've read good things on AVS Forum.

                    You gotta find a way to get surround! You'll love it with the 360 and DD 5.1 programming.

                      It doesnt matter anymore. I dont think I will be getting this.

                        Guys, does anyone know if this place is a scam? The prices seem to good to be true, they give you a 3-year warranty, and free shipping.

                        I was thinking about getting the 42" panasonic plasma model # TH-42PX600U and they have it for $700. About $400-$500 cheaper than any other place I've seen.

                          I wouldnt trust that website, it reads that they only accept moneygrams and not credit cards. I did a little research and they said it was probably a fraud site. Just type the web site into a search and you should be able to find some reviews.

                            The lowest price I've seen on that tv is $999 at Best Buy on the last Black Friday. Most places have it at $1999. I know Sears currently has it on sale for $1799.

                              For those looking for a budget priced LCD look no further. Walmart.com has a 32inch LCD for $588.


                              And if you don't need the ASTC tuner, CompUSA has a 32inch Olevia for $500.

                                Hey guys I need some help to upgrade to an HDTV. I had some questions about all of this though. My first and foremost question is how do video games look on HD? This will be the only reason I buy it because I am in college and can't get HD channels. I think it's a pretty good deal but I am not sure.



                                I also only have the core system so what cable(s) will I need and which do you suggest? Any help will be much appreciated!
