The thing I didn't understand about What Hi-Fi's AV Receiver review in question is their star summary of features. The AVR1803 got 4* for features, yet has everything that the STRDB1080 has (bar on screen displays) and a little more (i.e. component video switching, unless you buy from europe that is). Yet the STRDB1080 got 5* for features.
No pioneer receivers in the group test though - bit of a disappointement.
And again about what hi-fi. Did anybody buy "The Ultimate Guide"? They just slap a few products together, copy & paste the product's reviews (if that's what you'd call them) from earlier issues, and stick a few words inbetween. There's no "review" as such of the product's synergy with eachother. And they don't say how the set-up on one page is better than the one on the previous page and worse that the one on the next page. A waste of £4.99!
