Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I give it 5 stars because it's gives great sound and features for your money.
Let me just start out by saying. Dolby did good with DPLII. I can't live without it now. I listen to near enough everything that's not DD or DTS with DPLII on. Wonderful!
OK onto the niggly bits that make this imperfect. The remote could be better and have some more options. It's annoying not being able to adjust things like bass and treble from the remote.
Inputs and outputs are a bit weird. I was used to my old Sherwood 925's ins and outs. The 6108 you have to kinda fiddle with shared ins and stuff. It's not as straighforward layout as the 925 was.
The sound. Sometimes you can hear very low level hum. This is more pronounced if you have PCM signals being sent (As I do from an optical CD deck). What happens is that when a track finishes and there is a silent spot, the reciever stops any and all sound. This can sometime make for an audible click as the sound (and that very low level hum) cuts out for a moment. I've gone back to analog from the CD deck because of it. Not ideal.
The DSP's I hate (Other than DPLII of course). I wish they would drop them. It's a pain having to keep pressing the DSP button again and again to get past those stupid 'church' 'hall' modes to change from DPLII Music to DPLI and DPLII.
OK those are my niggles just to show that the reciever is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. Other than that it's fantastic for the price and kicks my old speakers into overdrive!
Oh and to the dude who was having problems. Yes it does do Dolby Pro Logic. The sound is also great. You need to check you have some decent speakers and READ THE MANUAL!

Surround-sound systems don't amount to much without a quality receiver, and this Sherwood 5.1-channel model plays the role perfectly. Equipped with Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS decoding, the receiver breathes life into home theater audio, delivering spectacularly clear sound that fills up a room. The decoded formats are complemented by Cinema EQ, a process that reduces the brightness of movie soundtracks to give them a more pleasing tone, along with Dynamic Range Control, which increases range sensitivity to better distinguish between loud and soft sounds.
The receiver runs discretely at 500 watts of total power (100 watts x 5 in surround mode, 100 watts x 2 in stereo mode) and features four digital sound processing options (theater, hall, stadium, and concert) for simulating specific acoustic environments. Radio listeners will be delighted with the AM/FM tuner, which includes 30 channel presets. Other features include source memory, a subwoofer preamp output, a sleep timer, system illumination, and a comprehensive remote control.
Components attach to the unit through the two coaxial and one optical digital inputs, three AV inputs, four audio inputs, front panel AV input, and the headphone jack, in addition to the multichannel direct input and subwoofer pre-out. The RD-6108 carries a two-year warranty on parts and labor.
