After recently purchasing a new Samsung 27-inch flat screen TV for the bedroom it became apparent that sound quality was going to be an issue. It wasn’t an issue because of any faults with the TV. It was because the sound quality of the downstairs HT ...
 
Very nice tuner by faesis on epinions.com Feb 5, 2008
Summary: I purchased the Teac AG-790A a little over a year ago to replace a very ancient Samsung that died. I chose the Teac AG-790A for three reasons: I like Teac products, it was in my budget range, and most importantly it has a phono input with a ground for ...

This unit replaced an older TEAC and is a fine replacement. The controls are easier to use and the unit works well with the rest of my equipment.

Nice looking, sound atrocious . . . . by john neary on amazon.com Jun 7, 2012

Disappointed by loosecanon on amazon.com Mar 13, 2011

Short circuited on first use by R. Clark "music junkie" on amazon.com Jun 7, 2009
I bought one of these and unpackaged it as soon as it arrived. After plugging it in and turning the power on, the display read "PROTECT" and then shut down. I tried it again with the same results. There is nothing about this, even what "PROTECT" means, ...
 
bad quality by Jeffrey Hurewitz "jeff h" on amazon.com Sep 5, 2008
This product came out of the box, brand new, with a bad switch. The only way to turn on the receiver was to hold it in. Once you let it go it went off. I brought in a professional who said the switch was bad. Amazon is replacing it. However, Teac AG-790A ...
