    Lots of room to grow w/ this system. I still have to learn about it. Sometimes it doesn't turn on/off with the Samsung remote that came with TV, but MOST times it does.

    System works great. I use it in my theater room and have all my devices running through it. My college aged son loves to play video games and watch sports using it.

    Had a stereo guy upgrade my home audio visuals. He recommended Denon and I was not disappointed. This unit replaced an older Onkyo and the surround sound operates so much better. I also like the cleaner remote.

    For a low cost receiver it does well at many things. With 5 HDMI outputs it can control a lot of items including the 5.2 surround sound speakers. Has everything that I need to output sound at a great price

    So far, the setup has been simple and the options straight forward. I am having some noise from one input, but I have not swapped inputs or devices. I don't like the on screen volume display. That obscures the image.

    I cannot say enough about Oscar Lachuga, the Geek Squad expert who recently solved two technical problems with the surround sound system in our media room. For MONTHS, we had been dealing with these two issues. Prior to his visit, electricians and a surround sound expert tried to diagnose the issues but could not. Building on what they had learned, Oscar methodically pressed on, ultimately determining that the problem was with the receiver itself. He then helped us identify options for a new one and installed it. Frankly, Oscar is why will will continue to be loyal Best Buy customers.

    Nice receiver, has lots of options and HDMI pass-thru in case you want to use the TV speakers. It was a pretty straight forward setup, I can't even remember looking at the manual.

    I am still learning to use all the features on this receiver, but the setup is easy - it walks you right through it on your TV screen. The only shortcoming is it receives bluetooth, but doesn't transmit bluetooth.

    Simple to hook up & sounds good. Doesn't have all the fancy bells & whistles of the higher priced receivers. If you don't need internet, Sirius, etc. it is a good receiver.

    Love it. Very easy to setup, great quality output. Used it to setup a smart tv with a Yamaha mixer for karaoke and it works perfectly.
