    Great cost effective receiver. Good bang for your buck if you are looking for some bang without breaking the bank. Fyi, if you have Apple 4K in order to get the Dolby vision. You'll have to connect the Apple 4K TV straight to the TV. If you connect it to the receiver you will not get Dolby vision which Netflix has on a lot of their movies and shows. This is why i took a star off

    Missing HDMI 2.1 features, didn't turn up very loud and was a step down from my previous Sony STR 1070 AV receiver. Now if you're on a budget and want something slightly better than HTIB go with Sony AVR. If you want something immensely better than Sony go with Denon IC series of AVRs.
