Integra DSR-4.8 AS IS

Integra’s DSR-4.8 DVD Receiver  is a simple yet versatile
2.1-channel receiver with a built-in disc player that is designed to let
users enjoy many (though not all) of the benefits of a full-fledged
surround system, minus the cost and complexity. What is more, the term
“DVD Receiver” actually understates the DSR-4.8’s true capabilities, in
that the Integra’s built-in disc player can handle a very broad range of
A/V disc formats (see “Features,” below for details)—Blu-ray sadly not
among them. But the good news is that the Integra provides inputs that
make it easy to connect an optional iPod dock or outboard Blu-ray
player, should you wish to add either or both.

In an era where features-laden, hyper-complicated multi-channel A/V
receivers are the norm, the Integra bucks the trend by emphasizing
three great virtues: simplicity, ease of setup/use, and strong core
sound quality. If you want a high quality sound system for use with your
HDTV, but find full-on surround rigs too expensive or dauntingly
complex (and perhaps a bit of an eyesore, to boot), this Integra could
be just the ticket.
