The TX-SR575 balances high-performance audio (for movies and music) with HDMI 1080p pass-thru and component video switching (with upconversion) capability for every video resolution available. With connectivity to XM Radio, the TX-SR575 can give you access to the most varied and exhilarating radio this country has ever seen. Not simply content with giving you multi-dimensional entertainment, the TX-SR575 comes equipped with Audyssey 2EQ room-correction technology that enables you to accurately align sound output with the contours of your home.

Sometimes it'll 'pop' pretty loud when kicking into Dolby PLII, otherwise the sound is great as I can expect with Infinity TSS-1200 speakers. Just a warning: The problems with this receiver come when you use the HDMI for video pass through. Touchy, I've swapped HDMI cables several times and they'll still lose signal if moved the slightest bit, they need to sit just right it seems, also for some reason using converters with DVI to a cable box or laptop bugs out a lot. Note that the HDMI only passes through only video and not from any other sources, so the only use is 2 HDMI inputs & 1 output. I thought this had upconversion video to 720p, which maybe it does, but if it does it seems it would only do so for HDMI, none of this can be linked to an input from component cables or optical audio (which is obvious I suppose considering the HDMI is ONLY video). In any case, I gave up & use optical audio & then just plug the HDMI directly to the TV for video, works perfect, just makes you have to change TV/Video on the TV as well as the receiver, which isn't what I wanted to do. Customer Review 2 : Impressive features and easy setup, but has a persistent hum - T. Mackay - I was impressed by the features of this receiver, especially the 3 hdmi inputs, and the ease of setting it up. Still, there was a persistent hum in every speaker. After talking with the very helpful support at OneCall (the vendor) I plugged the sub-woofer into a 2 prong adapter (that's right, I eliminated the ground!) - that eliminated the buzz in the sub-woofer. Then I moved the receiver plug into a power strip where none of the components were plugged in; that reduced the speaker hum to an almost inaudible level (which I could have lived with). Unfortunately I was then able to hear a low persistent buzz coming from the receiver itself. I have given up on this receiver and am sending it back. I'm going to try a Yamaha model - it's more expensive and has only two hdmi inputs but I've had good luck with Yamaha in the past so I'll try it again.
