Q: QuestionIs this also an FM receiver?

Asked 6 years ago by ERICL.

• A:Answer Yes, also fm, but be advised the antenna that is supplied isn't good. If you are keeping this in a closet or other closed area reception is likely to be an issue. Pretty much true of all the products in this class.

Q: QuestionWill this stereo play simply 2 channel stereo sound at the rated 165 watts?

Asked 5 years ago by Carl.

• A:Answer No. The ratings on today’s receivers are misleading. The 165 watt claim is usually based off of driving one channel at a time not all 7 simultaneously. If that was the case they would need much much bigger power supplies inside them. However when I measured it it measured at about 85 watts per channel simultaneously. But the sound quality was still very good.

Q: QuestionWill this receiver control a pioneer cd changer Pioneer PD F908?

Asked 6 years ago by david.

• A:Answer A CD Changer is just another peripheral, than can be routed through the receiver. The receiver will take up the sound signals, and play through your system. I have found in the past that music is not always better with surround sound however, and often will sound better played back as recorded. Mark
