I have own many receivers in my day and this was my first entry level Harmon Kardon. I was attracted to it because of its light weight and small foot print. I was a little worried because it is VERY LIGHT I thought it would suffer in sound quality at higher levels. I am surprisingly happy though. I am only using a Def Tech Pro 900 speaker set up in which all 5 surround sound speakers are satellites. I would be interested to see how this performs on a larger book shelf or even tower. This is great for a basic 5.1 system. It doesn't have a lot of extra inputs, doesn't do 7.1 or power other zones. I would highly recommend this to some one just building their first system or some one who is experience and is keeping it simple.

Bought item going off by brand and expecting more than current old item at home(Pioneer). To begin with, this unit is very complicated to program, set up connections, making 5.1 standard surround settings for TV connection and or regular tuner are extremely difficult and end up getting stuck with 2.1 sound! Speaker connections are not standard on back of unit, banana plugs and bare wire connections kind of give install a bad eye sore! Remote control commands are very confusing and when selecting a source to set up field, settings are difficult to program.

When I bought this receiver it was to temporarily replace my previous receiver that quit working. For the money, I do believe this is a very good product. The sound quality is good when compared to just having the television speakers. The one issue I have with it, and it may strictly be on mine, but the power button seems to stick when I try to turn it off. Other than that I do not have any complaints.

I purchased the receiver as an upgrade to my current system (which broke). With the HDMI connections setup could not have been easier. The sound is crisp and clear. Even the picture looks alot better.

Excellent sound quality. No wifi and have to connect with network cable all time. Rest all good
