Amazon.com Product Description
Surround-sound systems don't amount to much without a quality receiver, and this Sherwood 5.1-channel model plays the role perfectly. Equipped with Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS decoding, the receiver breathes life into home theater audio, delivering spectacularly clear sound that fills up a room. The decoded formats are complemented by Cinema EQ, a process that reduces the brightness of movie soundtracks to give them a more pleasing tone, along with Dynamic Range Control, which increases range sensitivity to better distinguish between loud and soft sounds. The receiver runs discretely at 500 watts of total power (100 watts x 5 in surround mode, 100 watts x 2 in stereo mode) and features four digital sound processing options (theater, hall, stadium, and concert) for simulating specific acoustic environments. Radio listeners will be delighted with the AM/FM tuner, which includes 30 channel presets. Other features include source memory, a subwoofer preamp output, a sleep timer, system illumination, and a comprehensive remote control. Components attach to the unit through the two coaxial and one optical digital inputs, three AV inputs, four audio inputs, front panel AV input, and the headphone jack, in addition to the multichannel direct input and subwoofer pre-out. The RD-6108 carries a two-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box
Receiver, FM wire antenna, AM loop antenna, remote control, user's manual.

 Outstanding for the value!!! October 14, 2004

Got this receiver and LOVE IT! The richness of sound and the versatility at your command make this as impressive, if not more so, than the pricier units I researched when making this decision. It REALLY brings out the best in a Dolby or DTS disc and adds oomph to regular broadcasts and CD's. Sherwood is where I'll be looking for any future audio purchases!
Bargain-priced home theater receiver November 19, 2003

I purchased two of these units and am using one of them in my current system. For the price, the sound and operation is very good. The remote codes programmed easily into my DSS receiver remote control, making for a very easy system to use.
 Yeah it's great but not perfect. June 28, 2003

I give it 5 stars because it's gives great sound and features for your money.Let me just start out by saying. Dolby did good with DPLII. I can't live without it now. I listen to near enough everything that's not DD or DTS with DPLII on. Wonderful! OK onto the niggly bits that make this imperfect. The remote could be better and have some more options. It's annoying not being able to adjust things like bass and treble from the remote. Inputs and outputs are a bit weird. I was used to my old Sherwood 925's ins and outs. The 6108 you have to kinda fiddle with shared ins and stuff. It's not as straighforward layout as the 925 was. The sound. Sometimes you can hear very low level hum. This is more pronounced if you have PCM signals being sent (As I do from an optical CD deck). What happens is that when a track finishes and there is a silent spot, the reciever stops any and all sound. This can sometime make for an audible click as the sound (and that very low level hum) cuts out for a moment. I've gone back to analog from the CD deck because of it. Not ideal. The DSP's I hate (Other than DPLII of course). I wish they would drop them. It's a pain having to keep pressing the DSP button again and again to get past those stupid 'church' 'hall' modes to change from DPLII Music to DPLI and DPLII. OK those are my niggles just to show that the reciever is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. Other than that it's fantastic for the price and kicks my old speakers into overdrive! Oh and to the dude who was having problems. Yes it does do Dolby Pro Logic. The sound is also great. You need to check you have some decent speakers and READ THE MANUAL!
Don't let the cheap price fool you. February 9, 2003

I own an Onkyo TX-SV646 & a Yamaha R-V905 A/V Receiver. The Onkyo is a Pro Logic Receiver only. The Yamaha has Dolby Digital & Pro Logic.No DTS or Pro Logic II. I bought the Sherwood RD-6108 that has Dolby Digital,DTS & Pro Logic II... The sound quality is just as good as the 2 high-ends that I own. I can't believe it!! I use small JBL speaker in my bedroom with an 8"JBL POWERED sub. The Sherwood has a nice natural sound coming out of the JBL's. Amazing how clean it is!!
Sherwood is a brand to reckon with. The remote is [weak],but I bought a Sony RM-VL900 remote.This remote is truly amazing. It is smarter than the human brain! I think it's a great buy. NOW,Back to the Sherwood, I really love having Pro Logic II & DTS.Pro Logic II & DTS are amazing!! I watched Pearl Harbor & Planet of the Apes in DTS & both sound AWESOME!!!! This Sherwood sounds better than my Yamaha 905(with Pro Logic II & DTS). My PS2 is my DVD player & it never sounded better. I soon will get a REAL DVD PLAYER,but for now it will work fine.
Next for me to buy is a nice JVC 20 inch I'Art.People you must read to set it up right. I think it was EZ. This unit is like a baby HK.
Great Value for a DD5.1 and DTS Receiver February 6, 2003

This is my first home theater receiver that I ever owned and I'm totally pleased with it. I did do some homework to see what kind of reviews its received and most reviews at circuitcity.com and avsforums.com have been good/great. I had no problems playing DTS movies through the receiver, Gladiator sounded awesome as did the Superbit version of Panic Room. I had circuit city 110% pricematch a local chain store that was selling this model for less ...
