If you are looking for a medium-end receiver for about $400, then HTR-5660 is a very good candidate.

Features:

Dolby digital 6.1, DTS 6.1, 24 programs, 4 re-assignable digital audio inputs, 5 A/V inputs, 2 component input switching, low THD and high quality connectors.

Features that are low-end or missing:

No phono (turntable) input

No THX certification

No on-screen display

No learning remote

Low power

I needed a A/V receiver to component switch from DVD (1) and the HDTV receiver (2) to the HDTV monitor. So I used the component inputs and the optical audio inputs the two HDTV input set. Then I connected the VCR (3), my notebook audio/video out (4) and cable TV box (5). 5 input sources are successfully connected to the HTR-5660.

Then I connected two main speakers, the center, two rear speakers and the sub-woofer to the receiver using professional banana jacks. Everything works as it should.

I recommend this receiver as a low-cost receiver which does the job perfectly.
