hi. i'm looking for receiver, that i could connect all a/v systems in my room. that means dvd+cd+tv+sat. cant really afford anything fancy, so gotta stick with the used equipment. i have a opportunity to get Technics SA-EX310 Dolby Surround Receiver. is this worth it? im also still thinking of speaker setup, 'cos i watch movies and listen music, both about equally. should i get 2 good speakers or not as decent 5.1 system? any advice/opinion is welcome. thanks in advance. edit: here's the german text translated to english by babelfish. "Dolby Surround ProLogic Dolby 3 stereo RDS level generator/test mode (Wide/Normal/Phantom) of 2 connections video Eingaenge:VCR, TV/DVD, CD, Phono Tape/Monitor Synthesizer Quarztuner of 30 storage locations stereo: 2 x 90 W dynamic power output Surround: 2 x 70 W (front), 1 x 70 w (centers), 2 x 70 (Hinten/Rear) dynamic power output Subwoofer: 70 W dynamic power output gesamtklirrfaktor: 0,03 % frequency response: + 0.03 % unweighted signal-to-noise ratio: 75 railways dimensions (B x H x T): 430 x 136 x 358 mm weight: 7.8 kg"
budget for receiver is about 100£. but i could get the previously mentioned technics reciever for 70£.(good deal i think) also problem is that i live in eastern europe, there are not many recievers to choose from. cant get decent new one, so have to wait, until someone wants to sell their used reciever. ebay? - nah, shipping would cost a lot.
Id avoid that reciever if its going to be used alot for DVD's as it only has Dolby Pro logic which is a pretty old standard, youd be better off with something liek the slightly less powerfull Pioneer VSX C100 which supports both Dolby Digital and DTS. I have one at home and its amazing for the money.
Cant find this pioneer reciever on sale here right now is this reciever any good? has better features, than one mentioned in 1st message, but are they good enough?
I dont know anything about this reciever but it looks a hell of alot better than the first one. Its got all the right stuff really, the only thing its missing is Dolby Pro Logic II but then thats not such a big issue. If you could find that pioneer id still get that in preference but the technics looks like it would do an ok job and its got a fair bit of power on tap too.
