Panasonic SA-XR70
$500.00
Released April, 2005
The Pros:Plenty of inputs for both digital and analog. Output is very clear and well defined, sounds like a unit worth twice what this costs. Slim profile design, takes up minimal room in the entertainment unit.
The Cons:Only the single HDMI input. Feels a little light, hard to tell how long it will last.
The Panasonic SA-XR70 is a 6.1 channel slim-design digital surround receiever offered by Panasonic. This receiver sits just over 3 inches high letting it fit into spaces too small for many other receivers.
