Hi!
Gorgeous!Not a single problem driving M80 @ insane volumes!
Amazing video capabilities!Superb bass management!
Amazing receiver!The only problem is the size, I had to put it on top of my rack.It is also very heavy.
Enjoy it!

I’ve been considering upgrading from the 7200 to the 7300 for the video processing. So I’m pretty curious how that shakes out. It’d be excellent if one of you guys had a good DVD player that you could compare its processor to the 7300’s.

Dang! Why didn't someone tell me how big the 7300 was? J/K. If the 7300 ever fails me, I am going to gut it and rent it out as a parking garage.
First impressions are marvelous. Man, having the extra power really enhances sound quality at lower volumes. Though I have not fully implemented it into my system, I have had a chance to mess with the up-conversion. Without tweaks, the picture quality was awful. With the right tweaking, it shines. I will give a more detailed report once I have forklifted it into an iron and concrete reinforced audio rack. --Andy

Hey,
Any updates on your 7300?
I hate the unit I got from HK. It was remanufactured and thus you would figure perfection from the factory direct. NOPE!
Damaged front panel door, video flickers, no OSD, etc etc.
Sounds ok...but cannot adjust anything unless I do front panel.
They will replace it but only after the 11th...due to inventories.
I am seriously considering either dumping the 7300 and switching to the dpr 2005....
Any suggestions .. .anyone?

Sorry to hear of your misfortunes (no pun intended) Tarun. I got mine (avr230) from harman audio's ebay store and it arrived in pristine condition. No shipping damage that you know of? I don't know of anybody who runs a hk2005 so your'e guess is as good as mine. It might be worth a shot if you don't mind potentially paying shipping charges if you don't like it.
There is a gentleman on the avs forum that goes by the username of "M Code" that has a lot of firsthand experience with the digital path receiver. Might be worth looking into for some information. Or you could get a 635 and add a couple of mono amps from outlaw like bugbitten has done.
Edit: Here is a link to the DPR2005 review at avs.
Edit again: Tarun, what do you mean by no osd? Does the 7300 allow osd via component video? I thought that everything could be accessed thru the remote without having to mess with the front panels?
