this receiver be absolutely phenomenal for the price it go for currently . Dolby Digital\/Pro Logic II and DTS decode couple with the three digital input plus 6 channel analog input mean that you can throw pretty much any home video audio at it and have it sound fantastic . most feature be cover with the remote but a select few use the receiver button and can be a pain to access ; luckily they be rarely used\/needed feature so it be not a big deal . the sound quality be great and easily configurable via a few remote press . if you want a low-hassle cheap 5.1 system than the ht05 be definitely the way to go . one problem I do run into : to use the dvd 6 channel analog input you have to press and hold the dvd input selector on the remote for a few seconds , otherwise the unit will leave out the center channel . this be poorly document in the manual and it take some trial and error to figure it out . once you know this however it be easy to set up and sound excellent .
