What's Hot

Easy to use and calibrate, very extensive range of connections, exceptional audio quality and fidelity

What's Not

Lacks the latest in Dolby and dts surround sound formats, lacks HDMI 1.3 for 'future-proofing'

The Final Word

By modern standards it may be considered a slightly 'old' unit, lacking the latest in home entertainment technology, but for those looking for a great quality receiver, the AVR 245 is hard to pass up.
