Customer Ratings & Reviews

This receiver is a great price for the cash strap buyer! I really love how this receiver takes me back to the days when I was a child, listening to music with my mom as we either clean the house, was just enjoying the music and the good days! I really love the old-school look up of this, with the modern updates! My recommendation would be, that if you can afford MA 9100, you definitely should get that instead of this one! But for the cash app people like myself, you can't go wrong with this receiver either. This receiver is perfect for my room in the basement, where my game system is located. I hooked up all three of my game systems and DVD player to my HDMI's in the back of the receiver and connected all the speakers that I had, and turned everything on. After setting everything up on my TV that I needed to do, and also adjusting all the sounds from everything that I played, I can honestly say I'm amazed! I really don't have the type of premium speakers that JBL makes, but if these speakers sound this good, I can imagine how good the higher end set up is! Everything that's on my shelf, looks like it's supposed to be there and made for that exact set up! I'm now looking to purchase some of the higher end speakers that's made by JL on the Best Buy website, and I believe that I am now a fan of JBL again!

I love the flexibility and sound of this amp, but so far have been unable to update the firmware despite technical support from JBL. The MA310 is the only amp in this lineup that requires a manual firmware update via USB (the others update automatically via wifi connect). Because the amp is so new, the few minor software glitches I have encountered have not been fixable until I am able to update the firmware. If technical support is able to get this working I will likely keep the unit because I like everything else. If this occurs, I will update this review.

Not bad, my only complaint and it’s a big one, every time that you shut it off you lose all of your settings for mode, surround, volume etc and have to input all over again. You should be able to lock them in!!!
