My shiny new Harman Kardon AVR 347 Home Theater Receiver with iPod Control and HDMI connectivity is a fine upgrade from a HK AVR 55 that has served me well for the last 8 years. The 347 has the modern video features that are necessary to support HD viewing and sounds wonderful. A couple of more HDMI inputs would have been nice. My only complaints are that it is a bit complex to set up and that it is apparently not possible to force it to select certain surround modes as it switches modes depending on the source material. However, most of the time the surround mode is appropriate. I prefer the Pro Logic II "music" mode for most of my listening and sometimes I have to manually select it. A USB port for updates rather than a RS232 placed on the front panel instead of hidden in the back would also be a bit more modern, but at least it *is* possible to update via firmware. None of these complaints are major ones for me and I'm glad I made this choice. Did I mention that it sounds great? It does. I auditioned several other receivers, some costing a good bit more, and the 347/247 has a noticeably more pleasing sound to my ear...
