    DId you look here?
    http://www.bkcomp.com/support/manuals/past-product-manuals/

    I like mine, for what it has. Doesn't do HDMI, but then I just 'direct connect' mine to my tv anyway, sense it has multiple inputs.
    105w@8ohm, shitload of connections.

    Full set of 5.1 preouts plus a total of 3 other zones full range outputs allows for multiple amp hookups. (why I went for it)

    Still figuring out all the features.

    If you get it, be sure and "activate" the advanced features options, as it holds a bunch of useful features, and does not appear on the base menu without activations. Can't remember the exact combo, you have to push "sleep, enter & mode" all at the same time..or something like that.....

    Don't know if I want to know how much you found it for....LOL:D

    well if its any consolation. that's alittle over half what I paid for mine.
    Mine is in pristine condition and came with a Harmony 550 remote.
    So if its in good shape, and you like it, why not.

    I really like the warmth of the B&K components.

    Make sure it has a remote (or a universal) as the replacement ones are $150, and you really need it as I would not want to program it via just the front panel buttons.
