Thanks for the info...


What was supposed to be the 522-K ended up being the 822-K. The salesman gave my wife the wrong receiver (I was purchasing a display model) by mistake. Once she got home with it, I realized the difference, and called him. The salesman my wife dealt with was actually the store manager. He told me not to worry about it, and enjoy the free upgrade.

Cheap, and upgraded...Not bad.

Anyway, after having boy child hook it up, setting up the surround parameters, and everything that goes with it, it sounds great for what it is. Having everything hooked up via HDMI made for a simple and clean wiring job, and the internet radio we can now stream through the stereo sounds pretty good.

The old Polk Audio speakers seem to have come back to life, as have the Cerwin-Vega towers.

I'm happy now.
