R, I have the AVP, which I use as pre-pro attached to a Parasound A-31 as I only can do 3 channels in my room. If you are thinking of this as a AV system, I can give high marks to the Nuprime, and their support staff. the combination of NuPrime and Parasound is a very good, easy to use, good sounding, great video product combination. I don't think of the Parasound as the control for an AV system, but I may be wrong (i am a fan of both companies).
