| shawng1034's Full Review: Technics SA-AX530 Receiver |
I find the ease of use of this product is superb. It is Dolby Digital Ready so it can handle a Dolby Digital dvd player. Even if the DVD player is not Dolby Digital it can handle it. It has excellent sound for the price of the receiver. There is even a built in help function if the receiver is not functioning properly there will be an error scrolling a cross the screen after it says what is wrong. There is also a reset button that will help remedy most of the situations
It has hookups for a CD player, Tape Player, a VCR, a TV, and even a turntable. The switched outlet on the back of the Receiver is Excellent for the cd player connection so you do not have to worry about turning the cd player off when you are done. There are 5 speaker connectors. 1 for a right surround speaker 1 for a left surround speaker 1 for a center channel speaker and 1 for a left and 1 for a right front speaker. The speakers have 8 ohms of impedance. The only problem with that is that the subwoofer has to have a built in amplifier or you have to connect an amplifier to it due to it not having an amplifier section designed just for the subwoofer.
There is also different settings for the sound. There is
Dolby Pro Logic which allows the listener to adjust the speaker output level for where the listener would normally be sitting.
There is the Sound Field Control which allows you to be able to simulate different types of atmospheres like a Music hall or a Club or even seeing a Band live or being in a theater. It also allows the listener to simulate surround sound to set it up if there will be little or no sound heard from the surround speakers.
there is the DVD 6 Channel which allows the receiver to play back 6 channel discrete sound which makes the sound of the movies from the DVD player sound more realistic and as if you were in a movie theater.
There is also the Surround sound mode which uses all the speakers including the surround speakers. the surround sound mode makes you feel like you are in the atmosphere of the setting on the DVD movie or the television or even on the VCR.
I think that this is a great product in itself . I Purchased it because it had a price in my price range and i have never had a problem with technics equipment in the past. This product has everything except a digital sound processor for the dvd player that i wanted. my next adventure is the Digital Sound Processor. I think people that want a really good receiver that do not want to spend a whole lot of money should get this product. It has everything that i need for a Home Theater system.
