This is an excellent sound system to say the least. It has an "easy setup" menu in which you follow the directions displayed and it will set up your sound system. That works for the lay person I'm sure, but it didn't work for me. I couldn't get it to decode Dolby or DTS, so I had to go read every page of the operating manual and change settings individually to make it decode properly. Still having problems syncing my audio from Cable to the video. The BluRay player works great though.

Plugged it in, let the OS download the drivers & software and then connected my Ethernet cable. It was that easy and now I'm running 150 mbps!

It's great to basically have a hard drive you can carry with you in your pocket! It reads and writes fast enough for me and is convenient.

Love the Aria! Step on the scale and it gives you everything you need to know about your weight and BMI, then syncs it right to your phone so you have all the metrics you need to help you achieve your goals. I'd say it's a must have!

I really like the Charge HR. It does everything seamlessly. Only downsides are: Battery feels like it always needs charging (but it doesn't) and I'd like it to track my workouts in the gym better than just tracking a session. Still, it's the best on the market for the money. Love how it syncs to the Aria Smart Scale!

Great movie on its own, but being based on a true story makes it amazing! The acting is spot on and every major player in the movie is totally believable. I'm a huge Mark Wahlberg fan and he didn't let me down. What these soldiers went through will seem unbelievable, but it really happened. Be prepared to shed a tear at the end...

Tony Goldwyn stars in the uplifting family story Joshua. The film is presented in a decent looking 1.33:1 full frame transfer that sports solid colors and dark black levels. While the transfer for this film looks very presentable, there are a few minor imperfections including some dirt/grain and a small amount of pixilation. Otherwise this is a decent transfer that should please fans. The soundtrack is presented in both Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround as well as Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, both in English. The main directional effects and surround sounds for this audio track come in the form of popular Christian artist Michael W. Smith's emotional film score. Otherwise, this is a mostly front heavy mix that features distortion free dialogue, effects and music. Joshua features a few supplemental materials, starting with a behind-the-scenes look at the film. This short featurette includes interviews with the cast, crew and author of the best-selling novel on which the film is based. Some production notes, cast and crew info, a theatrical trailer and TV teaser round out the special features on this disc.

Is this a mistake on Best Buy's part? On the Best Buy website, it advertises this receiver has - Feature: HD Radio Tuner: Yes I've searched through the Help Guide and can't find out how to get HD radio stations.

That is a mistake. I can't find it either. Would've been nice...

I new to the whole home audio world... Do I hook everything up to the receiver (set-top box, PS3, Wii) and if so, does the receiver have to be on every time that I want to watch TV but not necessarily have the surround sound on?

1. Yes
2. No
You'll have to read the operating manual to figure it out, but it can be done.

Can this receiver be used in a 5.1 home theater setup? In other words, can you "turn off" the surround back speakers in the setup or just not attach any speakers to the surround back speakers.

Yep. That's what I did. Took some tinkering but I got it to work.

Can this unit play all 7 speakers at once not being in surround sound mode. I like to play music from cd player but want a unit that will play atleast the 2 front speakers and 1 center speaker at the same time nut preferably all 7 speakers.

It will do what you ask. You just have to read the manual.

Will this unit work with my Klipsch speakers that have 8 ohm impedance. Speaker link below http://www.bestbuy.com/site/klipsch-reference-dual-6-1-2-floorstanding-speaker-each-black/6228094.p?id=1219198830094&skuId=6228094&productCategoryId=abcat0205003

It should. You might have to manually set it up though.

How do I get the pass thru to work. Been playing with this and can't figure out the pass thru. The only way I can watch and listen to tv is with the receiver on.

It's in the operating manual. You have to go into your AMP menu and set it to TV+AMP instead of AMP only.
