    I was looking for a quality receiver for surround sound use on my TV — particularly to connect to 2 speakers built into the ceiling, and to later connect to a soundbar. A Best Buy employee suggested this one for its quality, price, and it not being overkill for what I needed. The installation was easy. I followed the instructions, and when I was done I no longer needed the remote that came with it. Im using the tv remote to control the system and the sound quality has been fantastic.

    OK entry level surround sound amplifier. Pros: easy setup, ARC works well, looks nice and decent sound. Cons: Does NOT pass through 120Hz for 4K gaming, just 60hz. You have to connect game consul directly to TV. Sound can seem tinny at times.

    Gets hot needs fan as this amplifier is powerful sounds very good and works well with my surround home audio system ...it augments my front speakers as I am using it to Biamp my speakers. It helps them to sound even better than when I was just running them with the receiver. The extra wattage turns out to be necessary for Bowers and Wilkins603 towers. I think I’m getting the quality of sound that they were designed to deliver. Before star rating is because of the heating problem.

    Crystal clear sound, video and not overly expensive. The 4k Upscale really enhanced the video quality. I had purchased a previous version of this almost 10 years ago and still works but needed something with newer technology. The Bluetooth and 4k upscaler are amazing.

    This receiver is easy to set up and has a very intuitive set of connectors that removes the guesswork. The automatic sound calibration is quick and easy and removes the need for additional fine tuning (although you can still fine tune if you want). Good overall system for a basement movie theater.

    Phenomenal receiver! I recently had a Yamaha receiver and I needed an upgrade. Bestbuy had this receiver for $90 off and I was comparing this with a newer Yamaha. While the Yamaha is a great receiver this compares hand in hand with the Yamaha, especially for a receiver that only cost me under $200. Great deal for a great receiver. Thanks Bestbuy for great customer service helping me chose which one to purchase.
