Cheap Dolby Digital AVR

Anybody got anything? Not real concerned with bells and whistles as long as it is Dolby Digital and has a remote. Pre-outs preferred but not a deal breaker. And did I mention it's gotta be cheap?

I have a HK AVR5 in my daughters room and the dang volume pot is about dead. It's mounted on a board and deoxit hasn't worked. And I can't seem to find the part number online anywhere.

    I was in the same boat for a AVR so I found a onkyo TX-SR303 for $20 no shipping , its mint cond needed a remote got a new one for ?$20? .
    The receiver had Digital inputs something like 75x5 WPC .
    It only has like 4 inputs , the sound quality is excellant .

    Not sure I am following you. :confused: I already had a HK AVR5 in her room. Still looking. Also looking for a decent affordable preamp.

    I was just wondering if you called HK tech support and asked them if the volume pot was available ?

    Oh. No I have not called them. I might, thinking I would rather get her something newer though.

    Well that was a painful experience! I called today, just my luck I got a chick from India that I could not understand. After 15 minutes she finally decided that they don't have that part and it is obsolete. Think I am gonna try deoxit one more time. I didn't really soak it last time.

    Still looking for a cheap AVR though. :biggrin:

    I'll check USPS but I imagine it will be around $25 to $30.
