I am thinking about purchasing a new unit. I think I am done with Onkyo, Customer Service isn't what I'd like them to be.

Dunno, I'm really having a hard time keeping up with all this crap. Anyone know what all this stuff means? Bottem line is it worth it to get more featurs for 200 bucks more? Are DVD's changing that quickly? I'd hate to buy a 500.00 reciever just to find out it's not compatible with newer DVD's comming out. What is DTS ES? What's up with Burr-Brown... I'd like to hear all your comments on this... This also does multi zoneing and comes with a neat LCD remote. Tho, these things arn't high on my list. Anyway, folks @ audioreview give this unit high marks.
