Harmon Kardon AVR-80

[quakerroatmeal 10+ year member]

I just got this receiver from my brother in law for free, or borrowed it nonetheless until I get my new one. Anybody ever use this receiver or have any reviews? I don't have the remote for it so that sucks. I just purchased a pair of Polk R50's from outpost. How should I go about in hooking it up? Should I get a center channel or subwoofer next? This is going to be my very first HT. I've done plenty of caraudio installs just not home theater installs.

Nobody has this receiver? How would I go about in setting up my front speakers for now. Anybody know any website that shows you how to setup home theater. These are the specs of it that I found. I'll take some pictures of it later.
