Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Just got an old/new receiver

About goddamn time isnt it? I got myself an H/K AVR 225; used; for 480$ CND. Just wondering if anyone here has one and if they've noticed any shortcomings I should be on the lookout for while I used it - 1 glitch I notice so far is that when you set the display to be half dim - when you shut it off then power it up again, its bright again...cant be perfect I suppose

Freesey, if it makes you feel better, my hk230 does the same thing. Doesn't bother me though. So... what REALLY OLD receiver did you previously own?

>>1 glitch I notice so far is that when you set the display to be half dim - when you shut it off then power it up again, its bright again...cant be perfect I suppose

My brand new 630 does that as well, even if I go into "Advanced" and set it to half dim. I think it's a feature

lol thats a hell of a 'feature'
My old receiver was a Sony HCD-541 just TRY to find some data on it I dare you It really blew ass - it had dolby pro logic 1 on it - that was about as surround soundish as it got
Have any of you guys noticed that the subwoofer level is really high at the default of 0 db on any of the surround modes? I had to crank it down to -7 cause I felt like I was going to be sick
