Pros: It's cheap and sounds good!
Cons: Poorly laid out remote. Digital inputs could be better.

Slow Boil
About eight months ago I bought a DVD player. For six months, I came to a slow boil wondering what Dolby Digital sounded like. I was waiting until I could afford a higher end Denon receiver. Two months ago I couldn't take any more....

Pros: Absolutely exquisite sound reproduction!
Cons: the remote could be more logically laid out

I purchased this receiver this past October and it has operated flawlessly. Coupled with a Panasonic DVD-A120U running through an expansive home theater system, this receiver delivers stunningly powerful audio.

It has features galore,...

Pros: not too hard to set up
Cons: SHORTS OUT THE FUSE

I purchased the SA DX930 Home theater system receiver in June of 1999(for a pretty hefty price back then).
The first 364 days I had it I had no problems with it but I noticed that it always was very hot when it was on. I never heard the fan come...

Pros: Price, ease of setup, sound
Cons: No optical DVD specific connection

I just purchased a DVD player and felt that it was time to upgrade my trusty receiver of 11 years. I chose the DX930. My previous receiver was also a Technics, and it did me well for 11 years, so I stuck with the Technics brand. Reasonable prices for...

Pros: Sound is, overall, excellent. Great tuner, too.
Cons: It runs really hot. Weirdness with sound fields.

I got a Technics SA-930DX for my birthday in December of '99.

I don't own a TV. I got the SA-930DX to serve almost entirely...

It's a great step-by step. I had the receiver for over a year and then ended up blowing the fuse due to heat buildup when I...

Pros: Clear strong sound, basic controls easy to use.
Cons: Overheats, runs very hot.

I have owned the Technics SA-DX930 for almost two years now and I have had the same problems as many other owners of the receiver; a problem with a blown fuse caused by overheating of the system. I primarily use the receiver for DVD surround sound...

Pros: DTS decoder, powerful, low price
Cons: none to speak of

This Technics receiver is one of the best-priced receivers of its quality. I bought it for this reason. I was looking for a DTS decoding, easy-to-use receiver with 2 optical inputs. After surveying receivers in my price range, this one stood out as...

Pros: excellent sound quality
Cons: runs a little hot

This receiver is one of those bargains nobody should pass up! The sound quality is close to if not the same to the Yamaha receivers costing much more.It has all of the bells and whistles you expect from a modern receiver. 5 x 100 watts plus a low 0.05...

Pros: Very user friendly, good mids and trebs
Cons: It will overheat and blow.

Pros: Lots of fun
Cons: A little complicated/overheats

My wife and I considered surround for quite a few months before starting to look. I waited and waited till the right deal came around. I have owned a Technics mini-system for years and just love it so when the SA-DX930 went on sale I jumped on it. The...

Pros: price, features, dependability
Cons: remote is a little tricky

When I bought my Technics receiver, I picked it up because my roommate bought a DVD player and we needed more than the 70 watt receiver I had previously. I bought it at Best Buy, and out of all the receivers, it was the cheapest receiver with Dolby...
