I'm upgrading from a Sony STR-GX800ES, and I'm sick to death of trying to tweak soundfields to get the sound I want. I don't mind if a receiver *has* soundfields, I just also want to be able to quickly change overall bass/treble with simple knobs. I want to stay under $800. I like the H/K AVR 330, but it doesn't have the capability to upconvert video inputs, which I would also really like to have. I've looked at the Yamaha RX-V1400/2400, Denon AVR-3803, and Marantz SR7400 . They all seem nice, but if there's something similar with bass/treble knobs I'd like to check it out. Thanks. |

New member Username: Vulture99Post Number: 2 Registered: 02-2004 | Now I'm a bit confused about whether the H/K AVR 330 can upconvert. I just read this post: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-audio/6203.html where Chris mentioned that the AVR 325 *can* convert S-video to Component. Can anyone confirm whether the AVR 330 can or cannot convert S-video to Component? Based on the manual, I'd say it can't: "The AVR 330 will accept either standard composite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals. However, it will not convert any of these signals do a different format." Also - anyone know if the AVR 330 has "assignable" inputs? Thank you. |

Prior buying the receiver, I've auditioned NAD, HK, Marantz, Rotel, DENON, and Pioneer Elite. I choose Yamaha over the rest bec. of its features and cost. But try it for yourself. |
