|   Receiver Recommendation | isaaktnt
May 6, 2002 1:03 PM | | Hello
I need a very inexpensive receiver with both 5.1 line-level in as well as 5.1 preouts. I looking to keep the price below $300 or at most $400. I will not even be using the amp portion of it just the decoder.
Thanks much

I bow to your experience. I have been searching for months and everyone in every stores laughs at the price I want it for. I have a Denon AVR3300 that has it but that was $900. Anyways thanks again.

May 6, 2002 8:11 PM | | I second Soundman's advice. I've been using the 810 (same reciver except less power and no LCD remote) for several months and it has decoded everything I've thrown at it flawlessly. Great performer. |

I've been using the 810 (same receiver except less power and no LCD remote) for several months and it has decoded everything I've thrown at it flawlessly. If you are just using it for decoding you might consider the 810. It's a bit cheaper (you can probably get it for around $300 w/shipping online), and since you're not using the amp the extra 10wpc won't make a difference. |

Have you looked at the 811s its the same price but seems to have more DD 5.1 ES DTS ES and DPLII, is there a difference in quality?

May 7, 2002 3:35 PM | | That is a new model from Pioneer. It would work for you as well. It even has the latest Dolby Pro Logic II processing. Here are some online dealers.
