Great amplifier, if you're not using it with DVD

by Peteer01 , Jul 19 '00
Pros: 100W x 5, good sound,
Cons: No DTS decoder, cannot listen to DTS in Dolby 5.1
My parents just recently purchased a 55" 16:9 HDTV after our last TV decided it had lived a full life of 8 years. On our old TV VHS and a Dolby Pro Logic receiver seemed to provide us with quality video and audio. Unfortunately, our new set, being...

Dolby Digital? Where?

by GoodSyntax , Jul 11 '00
Pros: Kenwood's reputation for quality and reliability
Cons: Difficult to hookup, useless manual, no Dolby Digital
For months now, I have heard about the Dolby Digital craze and how, as an audiophile, I need it. A week ago, my girlfriend got me a Sony DVD player for my birthday (I had been begging for it for months), so I got the Kenwood VR-307 receiver which...

3 years, 7 months constantly turned on and still working!!!

by bleak7 , Apr 04 '02
Pros: Many features, good power, nice unv. remote.
Cons: For the price, there is no negatives
First of all, this was my first Kenwood product and I was honestly a little bit sceptical about its performance and lifespan. But, 3 years and 7 months later, It has worked without ANY problems at all!!
If you are looking for an excellent entry...

Great all-around deal

by deltwalrus , Nov 30 '99
Pros: Powerful, clear sound; great price; optical hookups for DVD; Dolby Digital built-in
Cons: Less powerful than high-end receivers, but what's the difference?
The Kenwood VR-307 receiver is not the kind of equipment designed to blast wallpaper off the walls with 600 watts of stereophonic power. It's also not a rinky-dink box that's only good for playing Dad's old LP's. If you've got an acoustically-refined...

The remote ruined everything!

by darthtyranus , May 14 '01
Pros: Good sound, easy setup!
Cons: A horrid remote!!!!
This receiver is a great inexpensive solution to home theater, but(and a big but it is) this remote is extremely hard to figure out. I have my dvd player's digital optical cable hooked into video 3, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use...

Dolby Digital- Cheap Price

Pros: Great Price, Great sound, Lots of power, Dolby Digital
Cons: Very Very Long
I bought this receiver about three months ago when a local electronic store was going out of buss.,and offered it to me brand new in the box for a very very good price. I was not looking to spend $300 at the time so when I found out I could get this...

Easy to use and sounds great!

by MPSB , Jan 02 '01
Pros: Ease of use, controls, functions and cost
Cons: None so far
First of all I've always preferred Kenwood equipment, for car and home audio. So when I went shopping I Looked specifically at Kenwood. Now, I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about since I'm an audio engineer for a high-end car audio company. My...

You get what ya paid for

by superducky55 , Feb 15 '02
Pros: Very easy to control, quite a few inputs, looks good, cheap
Cons: Over-rated amp, very distorted, low-quality overall.
I paid just over 200 dollars for this a couple years ago.. sadly, i haven't got around to buying a different one since then. This receiver's power ratings are FAR overrated at 100x5.. When in dolby digital mode this thing i highly doubt could kick out...

My Sexy Lil Receiver

by smuboy81 , May 10 '00
Pros: Looks Great
Cons: Hard to learn
Ok, here I go again. Well, in the mood of not being out done, I had to buy this and some other componets. I mean, the little acne scarred jerk at Circuit City shamed me into buying it. I am glad he did.

So, I had just bought a DVD player,...

Kenwood is better when cheaper

by joyrex5 , Feb 27 '01
Pros: Easy to setup, great features for money.
Cons: Limited audio-digital inputs, no DTS
I used to own this receiver for over a year, and I have recently purchased a Sony STR-DE945 but while I owned this Kenwood, I really enjoyed myself. It was perfect for what I needed, and I could FINALLY watch DVD's in Dolby Digital surround sound....

Not with a Bose system

by billpfaff , Nov 27 '00
Pros: It was free
Cons: Doesn't have the power one would expect.
I was given this receiver as part of a deal with Bose when I bought the Bose Acoustimass 700 surround sound system.

After I hooked everything up and set up the amp as instructed in the manual I thought that either I did something very wrong or...

Solid, Easy, Inexpenisive.

by KRomeleoN , Jun 29 '00
Pros: cheap, sturdy, easy to use, many inputs
Cons: volume control is weird. it goes backwards. So 30 is louder than 40...takes some getting used to.
I was in the market for a new receiver since i out grew my "mini-system". My main concern was inputs. I had a record player, cd player, cassete player, pc, minidisc player, and TV to plug in. 7 inputs! There was only 3 receivers in the store...

A good buy

by chad703 , Apr 05 '00
Pros: cost, dolby digital, sound
Cons: no dts
This receiver is great for the $200 I paid for it. It sounds terrific even with 4 ohm speakers and I am not in the least upset that I saved my self some serious loot by not getting HK, Denon or Onkyo. It doesn't have much in the looks dept but what I...

Solid Sound and features - great price

by smammon , Jan 13 '00
Pros: Great sound. Dolby digital and Prologic, makes great use of whatever speakers you have
Cons: no s-video swicth, no DTS, pre-amp output only for sub.
The Kenwood VR-307 is just what budget minded audiophile ordered. The unit is solid - easy to use (with exceptions) and set up - and has a really nice array of features for the price (around $249 to $279 on the street). The unit includes AC-3 (Dolby...
