Pros Conservatively-rated 55 watts into five channels, Dolby Digital decoder, remote.
Cons No DTS decoder. Spring-clip speaker connections. Only one-each coaxial, optical digital...
Recommended it? Yes

Folks who are on a tight home-theater budget should take a look at Onkyo's TX-DS474 A/V receiver. This is a Year-1999 model, replaced by the 484, which is itself getting a bit long in the tooth and will probably be superceded by a new, similar model (the entry-level unit in Onkyo's A/V receiver...

Pros Sound, build quality, price
Cons Speaker wire clips, lack of dts
Recommended it? Yes

This unit has pros and cons but is a good all around A/V receiver. Power is rated at 55 Watts but this is over a much larger range of frequency than other manufacturers with higher ratings. (I would truly like to see an independent test with other units with ratings of 70W and 100W, I think this... Read full review »

Pros Conservative power rating, sturdy construction, clean sound, good price
Cons No DTS (DTS ready)
Recommended it? Yes

This product includes 5.1 channel inputs which sound amazing when hooked up with a dvd with 5.1 channel... Read full review »

Pros great sound, dolby digital
Cons no dts, no 5 channel surround
Recommended it? No

This reciever has excellent sound for music and movies, just as all Onkyo products do. Clear highs, good bass, and quite good power handling for a 55 W/channel receiver (high current). This reciever is quite decent but Onkyo has built a sort of updated version of it (TX-DS484). The 484 is the same... Read full review »
