Great receiver
By Carrie
We purchased this unit to replace a similar one damaged by UPS in shipping. (Always buy the insurance!)We're very happy with the sound quality. The XM ready feature was a huge help. The damaged unit didn't have that capability and it made listening to our xm much easier with the plug and play feature.Hooking up any piece of electronic equipment is a pain, and my only comment is to ask if there's some way to make it simpler?? I'm a fair techno-geek, but it took me most of one day to get everything connected and working.

By E.T.
This receiver is phenomenal! The ability to assign amp channels to different zones allowed me to put sound throughout my house while keeping my home theater intact and without having to buy another amplifier. Add to this the HDMI upconvert capability, and this is the center of a fabulous home theater! Well designed and solidly built, this amp has enough flexibility to do anything I can dream up!I was lucky enough to get one of these before they went to the new model--not only does the 6090 lose the zone controls, but it lost THX certification, too! Buy the 5990 if you can!!!

Got even more than I wanted
By Ted
I just wanted the extra power and sound quality. I got a bunch of extra features. I'm still learning them. It's like taking a course in school. I don't like the way the radio is programmed. Once I got it set up, it works great. The remote needs a direct aim at less than 20ft. This may just be my remote. I'm not sending it back for that. Other than a couple little things, this is a great amp. I tested the up convert from ps2 component 480i to 480p component out. It works great. I can't use it for my cable box due to it's inability to send 1080i or 720p signals through without them looking worse. I knew this before buying though. The way this system lets me switch between audio and video sources is great. Just push a button. Even my wife can do it. (not saying she's stupid, she just doesn't give a hoot about my stupid speaker stuff). I also like the ability to set the EQ on each speaker and select each set for "Full speaker" or set to X-over the lows to the Sub. Also, at night I can select alternate speakers so I don't wake the house. There are a lot of also's with this amp. Overall a great buy for just over $560 delivered. They raised the price $40 now and I don't see free shipping. If your not in a hurry, you may want to wait and see If Amazon sells it again. I love Amazons no tax and free shipping! (Update 7-20-07 . . . My HDMI output is faulty, I get random hdcp errors and my picture will not display. I have to pull the power from my amp and put it back in to correct. It's completely random. That makes the hdmi output worthless. The analog output is fine). I give this amp 3 stars not 4.
