question about DTR-4.5

[moe32274]

Can any posters give me any information on the DTR-4.5? Does the DTR-4.5 have lip synch delay? I can't tell from the Integra website. Is the sound quality good? Any comments? Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks.

Maurice -

Although, for a "budget priced" unit (about $500 USD), the DTR-4.5 has a number of features that were once considered fairly "advanced", such as built-in IR repeating system, powered 2nd zone, "automatic" speaker setup, conversion of composite to S-Video, etcetera, lip synch delay doesn't appear to be one of them. Integra had to save something for the higher level models besides a higher price tag. You'll need to judge the DTR-4.5's sound quality for yourself, but so far, I haven't heard a BAD sounding Integra amplifier/reciever.

I am not much interested in video upconversion, since I plan on running HDMI directly to the hdtv. I am really looking for a top quality 5.1 receiver / amplification - but separates are out of the question. And I am interested in lip synch delay. I am leaning toward the Rotel 1056. Thanks for the info!
