New receiver in the Kenwood HTB-505 package?

 

Anonymous
I went to Best Buy yesterday to check out the Kenwood HTB-505. I know that everyone here prefers the Onkyo but I still wanted to compare the sound. Unfortunately, they had no demo unit, but they did have units in the box. I've read in the comparison thread about how the receiver in the 505 is the VR-605 which is a step down (no front inputs, etc.). Much to my surprise, the side of the product box stated that the receiver inside is the VR-606 which (as pictured) does feature front S-video inputs.

Is the package just a misprint or have they really upgraded the receiver? How would this effect your evaluation vs. the Onkyo?

Wish I could've opened the box...

Nevermind, that receiver picture on the side of the 505 box IS a misprint. The VR-606 is just a slightly better 605. No front inputs and poor rear input layout. False advertising, I say.
