Summary: Great home theatre and great hi fi sound
Review: This amp is amazing, from the remote which is large I'll admit but unlike most universal remotes, IT WORKS and is so easy to program. It has so many inputs and outputs that you will never fill them all. The sound is awesome and it has enough power drive any speakers hard.Pure audio function is for all of you who want home theatre but still want good stereo hi fi sound. This mode shuts down everything in the amp which is not required to produce stereo sound. ie, video processors, 6 channels of the sound, the power supplies that are not used and even the LED supply. The hifi sound is incredible it truly allows "audiophiles" to have their cake and eat it to. It has massive weight to it at 20kg so make sure you have somewhere stable for it and don't stick it on top of your VCR. It has a huge array of digital in's and out's even on the front for your hand held digital camera. Its speaker and sound setup takes about half hour from start to finish if you are in any way competent. It has a great feature where buy you can actually select the recording input or sound input for any device. Meaning you can watch a video on one VCR while recording a DVD to your second VCR without effecting you picture or sound output from the 898. My only gripe about it is the way that all amps that are going to be sold in Europe no longer take banana plug inputs. Which means that you need to use the pin type plugs but on most AV units there are so many speaker outputs that they cluster them together and allow no space to use any connectors, so you end up having to buy "gold tails" or go back to the archaic method of simple bare wire. It seriously rocks but make sure that you have some serious speakers or the money will be truly wasted. [....]
