    More difficult than it should be to install

    Nice value. Works very well. The only issue is you have to connect it HDMI to the TV for initial start up. That’s makes it more difficult than it should be. Usually on receivers, you connect the speakers and optical cable and go.

    Very easy to setup. Especially love ability to stream my my music directly to my AV system without having to use my blue tooth speaker. Only disappointment is need to turn volume up to over 50% when watching TV only. Streaming music or listening to FM radio requires normal volume. Remote control is great.

    My husband and I were looking for a new Receiver and were directed to KJ. He was polite, patient, informed and made what could have been an ordeal into a pleasant and memorable experience. We are very happy with our purchase and can't thank KJ enough!

    I was a little skeptical about purchasing a receiver, but the house we bought had installed ceiling speakers, so I just had to do it. The sales rep talked about receivers with me and convinced this was the one for me. He talked me through how to get it to work, everything has worked great!

    Decent performance for an entry level receiver. Purchased for my basement entertainment system. Not a whole lot of bells and whistles, but solid performance for a home theater receiver. My ONLY complaint is the confusing owners manual that I had to download.

    Bought this receiver due to the sale price. My previous Denon was an awesome receiver. So the name by itself is great. And the price couldn't be passed up. It works perfectly. User friendly, walks you through set up with ease.

    Sounds great. I'm not using surrender Sound options, just a as a basic receiver. The bluetooth options are a plus My on regret is that it doesn't have a "loudness" option which gives a fuller sound at lower volumes.

    Great value; lots of HDMI inputs for the price. Have had some issues with the power not turning on without unplugging the device from the outlet but once it is "reset" by unplugging it works normally. Works with smart remote
