Great receiver, if a bit dated.
I'm not necessarily someone who has to be on the cutting edge, so the lack of HDMI on this late 2000s receiver wasn't a big issue for me. It does have enough digital connections that I could connect my TV/DVR as well as a DVD player which also gets all my music off my home network. I send the sound via optical out to an Insignia soundbar and an Aiwa subwoofer, the latter being roughly the same vintage as the receiver, and the former being new. So this is somewhat bridging older and newer technology, but definitely better than the LG HTIB it replaced.
The mosquitoes are terrible in our back yard. Just to sit outside on a nice day and read a book is virtually impossible. I can say that this definitely works for that. We watched some of the setup videos before buying, and it is indeed that easy. Have had it up for 2-3 days, but not taken it down yet, so we'll see how that goes. Have not yet tried the side panels. Initial quality seems very good, but time will tell. I can see other uses for this, esp with camping. So far, as advertised and excellent value.
