Summary: A good solid receiver
Review: I can't find any serious flaws with this receiver. It has all of the basic functions that you would want for an "entry level" home theater receiver. It sounds great. The manual is sufficient.I can only come up with 2 minor flaws: 1. On my unit the top 2 row of buttons on the remote take a fair amount of pressure to activate. 2. The receiver has a series of menus to setup items such as speaker volume level, speaker size, etc. But you can only access this menu when you have the "Tuner" selected. So if your input is set DVD and you want to make a change you have to switch over to the Tuner first. Kind of annoying The seperate volume levels for the sub-woofer and the rear speakers are nice. Another button for the center channel would have been perfect. I would still reccommend this receiver though.

Summary: Still going strong
Review: I purchased this receiver and the companion DVD711 player 2 years ago and it still impresses me to this day. I have it breathing through a pair of Klipsch LaScala's and a single powered sub and the power output can either be subtle or breath-taking. Has enough features to be funtional and no unnecessary gee-gaws I find to be useless price-inflation toys. I bought this to replace an old Kenwood integrated amp and I found it to put out as much oomph, if not a little more. I would highly recommend this unit to any frugal audio/videophiles out there more interested in value rather then fluff.

Summary: Fine thing for this price
Review: I'm satisfied with receiver performance, just one or two additional features can make live even better: first universal remote is designed for USA, so I'm missing some brands (satellite equipment), that is common in Europe; I would like to have possibility to adjust volume levels on different inputs.

Summary: Great performer, nice design
Review: I've had this receiver for a couple months now, and I'm very satisfied. The Philips good quality and nice clean design is very evident in this product. I like the power (100 Watts/channel) and multitude of AV hookups in the back...good for my setup of computer (music and dvd), TV, and philips Tivo machine. Setup and speaker adjustment was very easy, and the sound is very clean and powerful. Recommended!

Summary: " A Potent Receiver"
Review: This receiver is stunning.... It has raw power.... It has 5 S video inputs/outputs,and it has 2 optical inputs/outputs with options for your vinyl Lp's, satellite and more.... This receiver is a steal, hands down the best receiver for the money!!! I have shopped around I have been in Bestbuy,Circuit City,Radio Shack,Sam's Club I've even gone to department stores looking for the right receiver. I have been in numerous sound rooms and yes Harmon Kardon,Onkyo,Denon,and Yamaha do sound good but the FR975 receiver has more raw power than all the names Ive just mentioned unless you want to pay a grand or so for a few extra features and some pretty lights....Dont get me wrong just because you find a receiver for cheap,doesn't mean you should use cheap speakers.) I would still recommend high quality speakers.Your electronic equippment is as good as the quality, but sometimes you can find quality without the expense. This also an awesome upgrade from dolby surround to digital surround.(Nothing Ive seen carries the digital (DTS) signal and has the power of this receiver let alone the price of this receiver.)If you want to get crunk then crank this!!! Most underated buy for a receiver....
