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?

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

Most of the hits were like this :
