Donald, If you can't locate the DV-270s, the newest version is the DV-275s and is still $100 or less depending on where you look. I too had problems with some discs in my JVC, and as I said before, the Pioneer handles everything...

I can't speak for those speakers in particular, but I do have a set of Athena Micra6's that sound great. Build quality is good and the 5 year warranty is nice. I've been very happy with them. Athena seems to building up a following...

Well, My $70 Pioneer DV-270s holds up very well next to my $300 JVC 723GD. And plays any and every type of media I throw at it, unlike the JVC, which I only keep around for SACD playback. So, there are some good quality,...

Well, I can give you my impresions from the short time I had my 5860. Fairly easy set-up. Didn't like the remotes layout, too crowded for my taste. Listened to several movies to test out DD5.1, DTS, PLII and stereo performance....

Had one for about 2 weeks, but ended up with the digital Onkyo LR552. No real complaints about the Yamaha, but the Onkyo seemed to go better with my setup.

That's what I found so confusing. I have mine set to small and my crossver point for the sub set to 100hz just as John G. had suggested. But I just got to wondering how all these setting worked. The manuals do little to shed light on...

Since I've been trying out some newer recievers I'm wondering how the speaker size and selectable sub crossover points for the sub work. My old HK AVR300 only had speaker size settings. No distance, room size etc. settings. If you...

Well, I tried out a Yamaha HTR-5860 and an Onkyo LR552 (digital reciever) to replace my ailing HK AVR300. Picked up the Yamaha last week and found it a decent replacement for my HK, but still felt it was lacking (couldn't quite...

Been on an upgrading tear lately and picking up the Sony KDF50WE655 LCD set, Athena Micra6 speaker set (down to $207 at BB, great deal!) to replace my mediocre Yamahas. Now my HK AVR 300's IR sensor has gone south, even the remote IR...
