Wonderful. I actually didn't do much shopping first or I would have purchased the YHT-440 or YHT-540 home theatre system, which appears to include this receiver along with Yamaha matched speakers. That is because I love the receiver, but I think the packaged system would have saved me a lot of money on speakers. I paired my reciever with an Energy XL-C100 Center Channel Speaker and a pair of Klipsch Reference Series Bookshelf Speakers. I plan to add the pair of lower-end Yamaha speakers pulled from my worn out stereo receiver (a 17 yr old Yamaha stereo receiver) for the rear right and left and a subwoofer I haven't yet purchased. All of that might sound slightly better than the YHT-440 or 540, but I tend to doubt it and I have already spent as much as the YHT-440. That said, after I got it hooked up, I watched "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" with just the 3 speakers hooked up and it sounded incredible in the front room of my apartment. I was even concerned the neighbors might complain when I was testing the upper limits. I actually only got to about 80 percent volume before I decided it was too loud for me, and I like it loud. I admit I have unsophisticated ears, but I didn't notice any deterioration in the sound due to the high volume. I also listen to classical music on this system and the low volume passages come through nice and clear. The other part I didn't research properly was the number and type of inputs and outputs I required. Coming from a simple stereo receiver, it looked like this unit had more connections than I would ever use. As a result I have 4 switchboxes which combined with the extra cabling cost as much as if I had stepped up to the RX-V540. My existing hardware consists of an older TV with 75ohm coax input ONLY, a cable box, a DVD changer with RCA and optical audio outputs, a cassette tape player, an old mono VCR, and a Pioneer CD-R deck (PDR-W739) with RCA, Coax digital audio and optical digital audio for Inputs and Outputs. The 2 extra optical inputs and the 1 optical out would have allowed me to have permanent digital paths to and from the CD-R and the DVD... as it is, I have an optical switchbox to switch between my CD-R and DVD for input and have to settle for analog output to the CD-R. Also, S-Video is not a concern for me but if you have a TV with S-Video and not component inputs, the 440 doesn't have it. I rely on yet another switchbox which includes an RF converter to convert RCA audio to 75-ohm coax. The things I am most happy with regarding this receiver were: 1) Plenty of power for my smaller place. It would even be enough for most in a larger room. 2) Assignability of the digital inputs and although I am not using it, you can assign the main B speaker outputs to another zone. I don't believe this means you can be using the A speakers to watch a DVD and the B speakers to listen to the tuner, but some of the higher end Yamaha receivers offer this functionality including the RX-V2400 my mom plans to purchase soon. 3) The very low THD rating. 4) An intuitive remote (although the setup was moderately confusing the first time through considering I was a complete novice regarding home theatre and DSP terminology). I am rating this unit outstanding because any shortfalls here have nothing to do with the quality of the unit. If you only have a CD Player, a DVD player, cable and/or broadcast TV and a TV with either coax or component inputs, you can't go wrong with this receiver in a small to medium sized room. If you need more, I personally would recommend just moving on up the ladder of Yamaha receivers till you find the features you need.
