    Decent receiver for cheap

    Currently using a Denon AVR 2807 in my living room, and a Yamaha HTR 5950 upstairs in my bedroom on the PC. Bought this Sherwood receiver for my parents to go with their new TV as a present on a tight budget. Best Buy carries their stuff - this is how I found out about Sherwood. Of course they stick their own "insignia" badges on the 5.1 units, not sure if they now carry the 7.1s or not. Anyway it's a decent company and a decent product. There is a little bit of hiss when there is no signal which is kind of weird, but everything is fine when you're actually using an input. The remote is a cheap piece of crap. The menu system is alright. Options are good, like the sub cut-off points and all that. Power seems low for what they claim but I can't compare since I also bought new bookshelves to use with this thing. It goes loud enough for a typical living room with normal efficiency speakers. The innards seem solid, the thing is quite heavy - on par with my 35lb denon. A good bunch of electronics with corners cut as far as controls and remote goes. If you're going to use a nice universal that's a moot point anyway. Note: HDMI is for video ONLY, you still need to connect the DVR and blueray/etc with the optical cables. Kind of a turn off, but not a deal breaker really. Optical cables are skinny and you only need one per device. So in this case one was DVR the other BluRay - two optical cables and two HDMI cords. Totally irrelevant if you're hiding your cables in the wall or elsehow.

    So I give this thing an honest C+/B- as a whole, more like a B+ assuming you dno't need the remote or care about audio through HDMI.
    Wotks great but hard to sit up

    I have had this for about 2 months now. The manual is about worthless for my simple mind. But when I called Sherwood, I got a great and helpful Tech. who talked me through the whole sit-up including the use of the set-up mic.
    It now works great with my TV and sound system. Also gets pretty darn good FM radio reception. You do need a better antenna. For the price I think it is a good value and I would buy again.

    Thumbs up!

    Sherwood makes the amps for many of the big names in the home theater and stereo market. This is my second Sherwood and I love the sound quality. Good work again Sherwood, I just wonder how they manage to keep their prices low.
    Best unit for price

    I have had no problems with this receiver. Though set-up and instructions can be a little confusing. All-in-all, there isn't anything on the market in the same price range with the full range of features this receiver has.
    Affordable & Nice

    I purchased this receiver to power my 5.1 home theater about 1 month ago. It is a good component and produces great sound. There are a number of surround sound modes and it has some nice features. I wish the unit had more than 2 optical hookups...although this is sufficient. One drawback is that the users manual is poorly written and offers little real help.
