Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
An ideal receiver for movie enthusiasts on a budget, the Sherwood RD-7500 supports all the major surround sound formats while spreading 100 watts of power into each of its six discrete channels. The receiver is outfitted with built-in Dolby Digital Surround EX, Pro Logic II, DTS, DTS-ES (Discrete and Matrix), and DTS Neo:6 decoders that handle almost all 5.1- and 6.1-channel DVD soundtracks. Pro Logic II adds an extra bonus by converting two-channel audio sources such as CDs and VHS tapes into full multichannel splendor to create a surround-like effect. Combine the surround decoders with the receiver's three DSP modes, which are designed to simulate the acoustics of the most common live venues, and you'll have access to dynamic, full-bodied sound whether watching the latest big-budget action spectacle or listening to a quiet trance CD.

The receiver also boasts a Cinema EQ function that adjusts the equalization levels depending on your tastes, a quartz PLL-tuned AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets, and a sleep timer for people who covet mid-day catnaps. Technically challenged users will especially appreciate the semi-graphical onscreen display that walks you through the setup process and the advanced multi-brand remote control.

The RD-7500 includes a nice array of inputs and outputs, including one optical and two coaxial digital audio inputs that connect to the digital outputs of DVD players, satellite receivers, and compatible game consoles--an essential element for enjoying the best-quality sound. It also comes with four traditional RCA audio inputs, three A/V inputs (two with S-video), an optical digital output, and a subwoofer preamp output, in addition to the 7-channel direct audio input. And at 17.38 by 4.88 by 14 inches (W x H x D), the receiver fits easily into most component cabinets. The RD-7500 is topped off by a two-year warranty against defects.

3 out of 5 stars Needs plenty of adjustments, low power.......2005-09-27

The receiver is sounding much better after several adjustments and settings. I would like to increase the rating to 4 stars from 3 stars. See my previous comments below.
-------------------

I have bought this receiver to replace my lightning-damaged Yamaha RXV 595, which was way more powerful than this one. Yamaha was rated 65W and this one is rated 100W - but this receiver sounds a lot weaker than my Yamaha. I thought, since I do not have much time to listen to music these days, I will go with a less expensive amp. with high user ratings. But that has been a mistake - this receiver produces sound no better than the built in speakers of my TV. I am using premium speakers from Paradigm in a 20'x 27' room and this amp. is not adequate. I should not have bought a low-end receiver to start with.

4 out of 5 stars Sherwood first try.......2005-05-29

I've only had it for a couple days, it sounds great.It only has 1 optical digital out not 2 there are 2 coaxial digital outs.
Other than that its every thing they promise.
