Is this a Class D or Class AB receiver? It looks a lot like the Panasonic SA-XR55/57 series of Class D receivers from about 10 years ago.

I think this is a Class AB receiver. On the receiver and in the manual I do not see it listed. Per research done online, I have seen it referred to as A/B.

It's a class A/B amplifier. I'm not familiar with the older Panasonic receiver, but after testing multiple AVRs, and comparing brands, Yamaha has really come a long way and has an amazing sound.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

You'll find another Amazon discussion thread about the BD35 being discontinued, which probably has something to do with it too. The 55 is now Panasonic's only (or main, at least) Blu-ray player on the market, until they release three new models in March or April.I am bummed about this new pricing too. I ordered a 55 on Christmas Day from an online vendor for $305, then ten days later they cancelled my order, saying they were "oversold" and suddenly everyone is selling it for $399 or more. I'm gonna wait...

That is a 7.1 Theater receiver. It has front-wide and front-high options, but they won't play at the same time as the surround back. Basically is has 9ch posts for wiring but it still is only a 7.1 receiver. Check out our theater packages at www.premieravdallas.com Cory Cannon Premier Audio cory@premieravdallas.com

This is supply and demand but who in the right mind will pay $600? I waited too long and also cannot find one in the entire Atlanta market. At one point the 35 was on sale for something like $140 at Sears... but now it is $359! By the way, the 55 is not available direct from Panasonic and I understand that this player has been discontinued. Good Luck All

There is one HTIB that does have a 'regular' type receiver...its the HT-S7100, it comes with the regular old TX-SR606 receiver that many are raving about. Seems like a good choice if that's the level you want.

RTK. I have some of these units. They work really well. I only use the transmitter portion, so I have a couple of receivers laying around. If you would them, just let me know.

Here's the one I got for it. Works great and sounds amazing. Onkyo TX-SR604 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Onkyo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HD7FGM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_qGeztb0N5VY8Y

BEWARE -- after some research, I decided to buy the ATH-C7, not the ATH-ANC7B. But after ordering the former through Beach Camera on Amazon, they sent me the newer model anyway. I'll may just keep them so as not to be bothered with the return, but this is very frustrating and, I think, deceptive. I won't go back to Beach Camera. Amazon should take note.

I believe it is a packaging consideration by Onkyo. When I bought my system the box was labeled CS-355 but as you say the receiver says cs-245bt. I expect that possibly Onkyo also sold the receiver separately from the speakers. All of the documentation that I received refers to the cs355 but even in the line drawings in the cs-355 User Manual the receiver has the number cs-245bt on it. It's a nice system, particularly if being compact is important to you. This was the only system that would fit in our shallow kitchen cabinet.
