This is why I came here. Wow. Like I said, I'm very unfamiliar with home audio products. I didn't realize they were selling consumer grade decoder units like this.

I've emailed the guy with the craigslist posting. I've also found a few on eBay. We'll see what happens. But yeah, for this price, even if I get it and it sounds bad/doesn't meet my needs, I haven't lost much. Thanks!
Those decoders were from a few years ago when receivers were "5.1 capable" and still needed an off board decoder for the processing. I used one for years, still have it, and can vouch they do a good job. Although the one for sale doesn't come with the remote, all levels can be set on the unit itself, if I remember correctly. If you do get it, let us know how it works for you.


We're all in this together!
