Amazon.com Product Description
Surround-sound systems don't amount to much without a quality receiver, and this Sherwood 5.1-channel model plays the role perfectly. Equipped with Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS decoding, the receiver breathes life into home theater audio, delivering spectacularly clear sound that fills up a room. The decoded formats are complemented by Cinema EQ, a process that reduces the brightness of movie soundtracks to give them a more pleasing tone, along with Dynamic Range Control, which increases range sensitivity to better distinguish between loud and soft sounds.

The receiver runs discretely at 500 watts of total power (100 watts x 5 in surround mode, 100 watts x 2 in stereo mode) and features four digital sound processing options (theater, hall, stadium, and concert) for simulating specific acoustic environments. Radio listeners will be delighted with the AM/FM tuner, which includes 30 channel presets. Other features include source memory, a subwoofer preamp output, a sleep timer, system illumination, and a comprehensive remote control.

Components attach to the unit through the two coaxial and one optical digital inputs, three AV inputs, four audio inputs, front panel AV input, and the headphone jack, in addition to the multichannel direct input and subwoofer pre-out. The RD-6108 carries a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

Works well once installed........2007-04-25

This reasonably priced card works well once it is installed properly. Though it took a good half day for me. I was trying to install this card on a XP system that was already running. Device manager did not see driver anywhere on the CD, neither in the folder the manual specified, nor anywhere else, I had to get it from Silicom Image's website. If you are going to install Windows on a hard drive connected to this RAID card, your PC must have a floppy drive in order to add "3rd party SCSI or storage driver" from floppy disk during Windows installation. My new PC didn't have a floppy drive, so I had to go get one.
