Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good for the price - does the job, had to use it for my ceiling-inbuilt speakers and it makes them work just fine, distributes the sound well between the front and rear speakers. has some nice hall/stadium/jazz settings for different output. Makes a weird and loud click sound when it's turned on but it's okay I guess. would recommend to others who are looking at making a basic set of speakers work

Meets Our Family Needs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was purchased as an inexpensive upgrade to an older Onkyo receiver with no HDMI ports. Does the job nicely. My wife loves that the receiver will turn on automatically when playing music from her phone via Bluetooth. Bonus... have been able to better sync audio between receiver and tv. Not a big fan of the remote... volume button doesn't always react. However as I use other universal remotes, its not an issue for me.

Good basic receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid buy if its on sale. I got it open box and saved a little more. Set it up in a spare media room and didn’t need all the bells and whistles, just 5.1 surround sound. Fit the bill nicely and works as expected. Easy room calibration and enough hdmi ports.

Decent cheap receiver for home theater
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want to build a home theater system on a budget, this fits the bill. Just don't expect too much. For example, it comes with a microphone for automatic calibration just like more expensive receivers, but this one incorrectly identified my center channel and fear soakers as "large" even though they obviously can't produce low frequencies. The automatic calibration in general was kind of buggy and finicky, unlike the auto calibration on Yamaha receivers. It lacks any network connectivity, which only really matters for firmware update and streaming internet radio. You probably won't need the former, and the latter is becoming obsolete. Most people interested in listening to music over the internet would probably just install Spotify on their smart TV anyway. I have not tried this with an Audio Return Channel yet, but it works fine both as a bluetooth receiver (for much better sounds quality than you're likely to get from a self-container Bluetooth speaker) and it functions well at 5.1 sound for a basic home theater. If you agree trying to build a component home theater system on a budget, this is a decent centerpiece for your home theater. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend the money on a component home theater system instead of a sound bar, you may want to consider some of the more feature-rich receivers that are around $100 more expensive.

Solid simple unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is as basic as it gets for a 5 channel 1 zone until. Struggles to handle any speaker wire thicker than the least expensive option, but overall the unit works well and has features you would expect a receiver to have in 2025.. The remote is basic, but fine. You get what you pay for with this receiver.
