It's a good receiver for the price. If you want to "future-proof" with features you may not need or ever use, be prepared to pay at least twice this price. Originally Posted by Carisear

Decoding Formats
DTS HD / Dolby TrueHD / Dolby Digital +

For $299, this is a fairly good price for a 7.1 HDMI receiver with built in HD audio decoders.Last edited by bigsky2; Oct 16th, 2008 at 06:38 PM.

What's so special about this surge protector that makes it worth $70?
It only has 8 outlets and it's Dynex for crying out loud. You can probably find a better brand with the same features for half the cost.

The DG-820 for $299 in Canada is an absolute steal. This is even better than most US prices for this unit. Has 4 HDMI inputs, does TrueHD and DTS-MA.
Note however, that this unit DOES NOT do video upscaling or upconversion to HDMI. If you need that best bet is to get the Onkyo TX-SR606, preferably somewhere in the US where you can find it for < $350. Reply With Quote

I don't want to deal with cross border shipping, so I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Sony 820. Reply With Quote

Better deal with Dell's Deal of BELKIN's 12-Outlet Surge Protector for $15.99.
That's one of the best surge protector.

Does this start right at midnight (if so which time zone?)?
Thanks._______________
