All I need now is a sub, and I have a complete 5.1 channel system in my office! I love it. I can enjoy all of my SACDs in their full multichannel, along with the 2 DVD-As I have. Someday I plan on adding a monitor so I can watch movies, and never work again. It is a very simple system with the Sharp at the heart. A lot less wires than I would normally need, which is nice for the office. The sound is very natural, although the CD section of the player could be very much improved, it is somewhat veiled and edgy, but is made up for with the phono and multichannel. Interestingly enough I can even listen to LPs in multichannel using Dolby II. Sure, its not very pure, but it is a pretty neat gimmick to have in the office. I love it!
