Tapped as "love it"
New pro/con: Pure audio mode which shuts down front panel display and video circuitry for absolute clean music listening.
New pro/con: Even with the 2MB buffer, still has a slight pause on DVD-Video disc layer change.
New pro/con: No distance compensation or DSD bitstream output for SACD.
New pro/con: Good value especially if you can get it for about $100 on clearance.

"The AVR-988 is a great receiver. May not be as powerful as some in this price range but has plenty of power with a sophisticated sound quality that can only come from Denon. This receiver is not for the home theater novice but experienced users can use the manual to help guide you through more

Tapped as "love it"
New pro/con: Does not blend on screen menu over video sources through the HDMI output. (Switches from video source to menu instead)
New pro/con: Great video processing of analog standard definition sources to 1080P output (HDMI out only of course)
New pro/con: Audyssey RoomAuto EQ gives a graphical interface of what frequency bands it adjusts to achieve "corrected sound". (Not all competing receivers do this)
New pro/con: Only 2 HDMI inputs (newer model AVR-989 does offer 4)
