What do you think of this stereo receiver?

Hello,

So I'm thinking of buying this Harman/Kardon AVR 30 audio/video receiver, with Dolby Pro Logic, to start off my home stereo system.

I know it is a bit old, but it's at potentially a very good price and it's description seems to be well suited for a basic home stereo system. I'd just need to hunt around for suitable speakers.

What does everyone think?
thanks.
