5 out of 5 stars incredible.......2004-10-07

i couldnt be more pleased with the versatality, not to mention the impeccable sound quality-especially for the money.

5 out of 5 stars Great way to get into DTS-ES (6.1!) on a budget.......2001-10-13

The VSX-D810S appears to be the best receiver at the moment to enter the DTS world on a budget. It supports DTS-ES and Dolby Digital with an additional rear center speaker for 6.1 sound (only supported by a handful of DVDs so far, e.g. Gladiator).

Its 6 channel speaker and pre-amp outputs make the system totally customizable. Each channels volume can be adjusted separately in order to accommodate the connected set of speakers as well as their placement. There is also a separate, variable pre-amp output for EVERY channel ! This usually can't be found on a system under 800 bucks.
So if you run out of speakers you can just hook up powered computer speakers or amplified studio monitors to the pre-amp outputs in order to get the sound for all channels.

It also allows for setting speaker size for your configuration (in order to send less bass to smaller speakers) as well as the distance to the speaker (for correct reverb effect simulations, etc.). It has many sound modes for stereo as well as digital sound sources and can enhance even DTS soundtracks with an extreme additional amount of spacial sound effects if so desired. It also has special settings for systems with or without attached subwoofer.

It sounds great in a normal sized living room. It might probably not satisfy the high-end sound freaks but if you're on a budget and just want to have DTS-ES sound at home, it's great. Considering the price, I personally kept my expectations low but I was blown away when I watched my first DTS movie with it.
