It depends whether you are interested in surround at all or just stereo. I may be wrong, but it doesn't look like this receiver can do Dolby Digital or DTS decoding - which is really what you will want for surround sound. Dolby Prologic is the surround format of VHS, not DVD. The difference is immense. You can get a receiver with no speakers for a little more than twice the price of this HK, and you'll be getting the ability to decode modern formats, you'll have digital inputs, you'll get video switching, and probably double the power. If you just want the old left and right, you'll be ok with this thing, but if you want more than that, I'd save up and buy something a little more modern.
