THE GOOD
7.1-channel A/V receiver; HDMI switching; converts composite, component, and S-Video sources to HDMI; automatic speaker calibration; USB connect for PCs; sleek, low-profile design; XM satellite radio ready.

THE BAD
No onscreen menus; could be louder; CD sound was a little harsh; runs hot.

Though its sound is average and it lacks onscreen menus, the stylish RX-D412B is packed with features for a reasonable price.
