Comments about Harman Kardon AVR-354 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver:
I have had mine now for a couple of years and I love it. It sounds great and has tons of options. It does HDMI sound and video, as well as upscaling. The only complaint that I have is the heat, it gets very hot. So as long as it has room to breathe there are no issues with it.
