| squiggy81's Full Review: Kenwood KR-VR209 Receiver |
I bought this receiver new in Oct of 99 and have been using it for over 4 years now.
It has proved to be a very versatile and quality sounding product. Even after 4 years, I have still not outgrown it. The subwoofer output is nice. Also the optical input has been good to have in the dvd revolution.
Sound quality is great. It really shines when playing a cd through the dvd optical input. There is no noticable distortion whatsoever.
There is one minor complaint, though. The remote reception will occasionally stop entirely for a short period of time. Apparently this is not an uncommon thing for the vr-209. UPDATE: The remote sensor was repaired. It cost me $35, but was well worth it.
Overall I would definitely recommend this receiver to anyone looking at it.
