If it makes you feel any better...I bought a AVR7300 which arrived at my home damaged and inoperable. I called HK and they sent me a replacement which was like new. The trend would seem to dictate that the first time is not the best with them.

I agree on the DEAD batteries...they pulled that on me too! HK remanufactured Quality Standards are definitely not up to par in my book. I will definitely think again before buying refurb from them.

GOOD LUCK!
