Reviews of the Yamaha RX-V1700

CNET Review
The Good: HDMI switching for two sources; upconverts all analog signals to the HDMI output; eight digital audio inputs; XM-Ready with Neural Surround; optional iPod dock; can handle second and third rooms with independent sources.
The Bad: Only two HDMI inputs; subpar analog-to-HDMI upconversion; expensive compared to the competition.
The Bottom Line: The Yamaha RX-V1700 is a mostly solid A/V receiver with an attractive feature package and excellent sound, but you might be able to find a better overall value.
