Sherwood RD-7503 7.1 A/V Receiver and BT-R7 Bluetooth Adapter
Introduction
The Sherwood RD-7503 A/V Receiver is one of the newest offerings from Sherwood aimed at controlling all the latest devices in your home theater. The RD-7503 A/V receiver provides 7 channels of amplification at 100 watts per channel, 3 HDMI 1.3 inputs with repeater, on-board decoding of DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD high resolution audio formats, automatic room setup and support for a second zone. The RD-7503 also provides optional support for their DS-10 iPod dock, SIRIUS Satellite, and Bluetooth support which I will discuss later in the review. Sherwood has packed a tremendous amount of technology into an entry level receiver. Since this product is most likely targeted at someone getting started in home theater, or upgrading from older technology, I was very curious to see how easy the RD-7503 was to setup and use.
