Released March, 2009
The Pros:Bluetooth and iPod compatible receiver. Affordable price. 2 HDMI inputs for use with more than one source input.
The Cons:Only 2 HDMI inputs limits your options if you have more than 2 source devices. Requires you to purchase optical media player separately (no DVD / Blu-ray player included). Takes the fun out of building your own system.
