Anyone know about this receiver? Experience, when it was made, opinions? I saw one for sale and wondered if I should buy it and for how much?
Thanks for any info!

    I have a B&K 101, same as the 202 except for no DTS capability.
    I still use this receiver a lot. When you think about it, probably 80 to 90% of all DVDs are still Dolby Digital 5.1 anyway.

    If you can get it cheap enough, I say go for it! Keep in mind it can be upgraded to all the newer processing formats at the B&K factory too, but you would still need another outboard amp or amps.

    Check out the following glowing review on the 202.

    Looks like a nice receiver...

    My only problem would be the lack of 5.1 inputs...don't think they'd be able to add that on as an upgrade, and no way could I live without SACD...
