A:AnswerI have an old Sony receiver out in the garage with those features your missing. Problem is those old receivers are not hdmi comparable and when hooked up to speakers you get a crackle once in a hike especially at lower volume. The old receivers seem to have a minimum volume before they start cranking and working correct. This one to me has a much cleaner sound probably because of hdmi with 4K pass through. Other consideration is the movies and games of today have the 4K sounds built in to be there when the scene calls for it so maybe the old 1980’s approach synthesized sound would alter the intended effects? Just a thought
A:AnswerHi Jimbo,
Yes, you have to purchase a separate speakers system for this AV Receiver. Please refer to this link for more information.

A:AnswerHi Srki,
Yes, you can connect a Bluetooth headphone to this AV Receiver. There is no need to connect an amplifier to use the Zone 2 NOTE: The ZONE 2 component output jacks on the Audio/Video (A/V) receiver will output analog video signals only. You can check this link for more information.

A:AnswerThe 165 watts refers to your left/right, center, and surround speakers. That is the power that the unit's amp channels provides to those speakers. Subwoofers are many times self powered. Keep in mind that it takes a whole lot more power to drive the bass frequencies than higher ones. These AVR devices are designed to give a line level output to drive a self powered sub. The self powered sub woofer's output depends on the amount of bass/lower frequencies you wish to hear and feel. Of course, budget comes into play, but if you want serious kick, you will want to consider 600W or better to rock your world.
A:AnswerThis is for audio only, no processor for things like YouTube or internet surfing. The internet connection is there for Spotify and manufacturer update functions only.
A:AnswerIf you use an HDMI out to your TV you can use the graphic interface and this amp has many different settings for all speaker options. I believe the best setting for you is going to be LF RF LS and RS. I don’t know if it had rear height and fronts as an option but I remember when setting up 7.1 there was configurations in it I hadn’t thought of.
A:AnswerI have had mine a year, never had an issue as you describe. Could be your cable or your source device is faulty or possibly something wrong with the receiver itself as it heats up. Do you have it vented properly? Mine gets pretty warm with normal use.
A:AnswerMight depend on which roku. Mine is the simple stick, I could not get it to work through the receiver. I ended up just connecting it to the tv, but the TV was able to send audio to the receiver through the optical connection from the tv to the receiver.
A:AnswerIt supports wifi for network connectivity for audio connection to phones/tablets and for firmware updates. Does not appear to allow Video play through wiFi however.
