Customer Ratings & Reviews

I replaced a 15yr old receiver that was driving me crazy on audio quality during live performances on TV. You had to constantly change levels even during the same show. This receiver not only reminded me of old school American design but you can find all of the repair manuals and part numbers for it. First time in a LONG time I really liked what I bought and when my upstairs 7.2 fails, I will buy the 710 as a replacement. Since my "old system" was a logitech harmony, with the bridge and had about 6 parts I now have 2 and it passes the "wife test" with flying colors. Thanks JBL, this has a level of design simplicity, ease of use, and information I have not seen in well over 30 years. As someone who actually works on CLASSD chipsets for a living, it is nice to see what parts were used in the design.

Instructions for Setup are not great unless I missed something in the documentation. But setup and operation is pretty simple especially if you have experience with other receivers. Which I have so I was able to setup everything pretty easy. Sound is really good for the price and didn’t take a lot of adjustment like some of the other receivers I have had. If you want good sound without the hassle of making a bunch of adjustments this is a good unit. My only real complaint so far would be the initial setup due to lack of instructions. Product seems well built but I’ve only had it for a couple days so can’t comment on how long it will last. But for under $350 Its a good value for an 8k, 5.2. A/v receiver.

The sound is pretty good, i like that.It has both android and airplay. The osd and app could be a lot better though. Also, the remote is absolute garbage.You have to be pointing directly at the amp, and maybe three feet away, max.

I love it, but I have found some eArc quarks that make using my C5 and my Apple TV a little different than I expected. They don’t communicate well The LG and the AVR MA510, I’ve spent countless hours trying to adjust it so I can avoid handshake issues. Ultimately I have to forgo the CEC and eArc portion of the communication to have sound and video stability at the highest possible level and quality. This makes me kid of regret not using the money to buy a more mature AVR. But for the budget oriented if you get it on sale and you don’t want the best of the best then this AVR is the way to go, it’s easy to set up and it looks nice. Very basic though. I wish I could return mine, but only because I’ve already outgrown it. I feel like it helped me learn what I actually want.

I was impressed with the quality of the sound it produces..It syncs with your tv remote for power on and off both devices. The only con is that it doesn't save the sound settings when you shut it down. Overall it fits for what I needed it for and price wise can't be beat.

i needed to upgrade my receiver (27 years old, so dated it is labeled AC-3 instead of Dolby) This JBL has everything I needed: plenty of amplification and plenty of inputs. It integrates perfectly with Samsung TV and their Smarthings app. The speaker setup is sophisticated enough to set distances and levels accurately. It drives my EV 1202 monitors very well. I like the remote, the common functions are easy to use and it offers a lot of setup options for each source, including assigning a particular surround mode to each input. I purchased this as an "open box - excellent" at a discount and everything was included and in perfect condition.

Excellent product. Love the wifi and bluetooth connectivity for ease of use. Pumps out excellent sound quality to my Sonance speakers.

The MA510 was extremely easy to set up, sounds great, and has a very clear picture. I replaced my old Yamaha with it and my wife and kids are much happier with the ease of use of the new one and I can't tell a difference in sound quality with my Klipsch setup.

JBL MA710 does a good job, sounds great paired with my B&W SPEAKERS. The size fits in my small space. So far, No Problems. I would recommend this Receiver to a friend.

It's good sound and power but I wish it would save the sound settings you have it at when it shuts down.

This is a great looking receiver for sure, and I understand JBL’s intention to capture the new generation of users into the world of home theater. But the result is a bit mixed. Although MA510 is a decent receiver, it’s clear that much compromise has been made to make it as sleek and think and good looking as it is. The HDMI pass through is very buggy—4K120 pass through sometimes work but sometimes doesn’t; so is 4K Dolby Vision pass through, it’s almost up to chance whether I’d get the pass through to work. The settings menu is also overly simplified that it borders on useless. I want to like this model, but I can’t since it’s just got the looks, not the reliability and hardware of a good receiver that I need.

Sound is great, and setup was easy! Overall would recommend!

I am torn. I really wanted to love this product, but I have experienced challenges, specifically getting the receiver to reliably connect all my HDMI inputs to my HDMI output. On paper, this receiver has all the key features I wanted: * Up to 8K support, presumably extends its useful life * 5.1 surround with reasonable power and decent sound * Most of the latest HDMI features including Dolby Vision pass-thru, HDR, etc. * Networked to support Airplay * Attractive price point now that it is widely discounted. * Attractive appearance (though it is slightly deeper than other AV receivers, specifically Denon and Yamaha, I have compared against.) My setup is relatively simple. Output is a high end LG OLED, input devices are Apple TV 4K, Directv Streaming Box, and Sony Playstation. I have all new, latest generation HDMI cables. The cons are: - Great difficulty getting it to connect my latest AppleTV 4K to my LG OLED. After many hours of troubleshooting, I have narrowed it down to issues with passing deep color which surfaces when I change inputs across devices with significantly different video capabilities to my one output. Note I also tried a Denon 4K AV receiver and it did NOT have any same connection issues, but it was 3x the price and had other limitations for my use. - Does not include an Audessy style calibration. However, there is an app you can run on a mobile device to do some minimal room speaker set up calibration. - The remote control is not great and does not surface buttons to do direct source selection. - Source selection is slow and requires multiple button presses and sequentially rotating across the inputs. - On-screen set up menus have uninspired UI and few controls. - Still struggling to get CEC to work as desired and not have my various devices out of power state sync (I use a smart remote control for the full set up) - No tuners (AM or FM) Other positives are: + Unit seems to run cool which makes it fine inside a cabinet + Automatic firmware updates over the network + Supports various over the air formats such as Airplay 2. For the first time in several weeks I am now inclined to keep the JBL MA510 as I am close to reliably resolving the input switching and source compatibility issues. I am also hopeful future FW updates can improve this aspect and support more of the latest 4K standards. And, I was actually able to get help from a real person on their customer service team which is harder and harder to get these days. To be fair to JBL, there's no other AV receiver in this price range that has as many key features I care about. I just hope I can resolve the last of the configuration issues for my setup. I am cautiously recommending it for the majority of users whose setup would not surface the issues mine does.

Great Receiver, easy to operate. Love the Bluetooth feature and compact size.

This was a perfect replacement for our failed receiver. The features and the price of this JBL exceeded anything else we could find. The sound quality was so noticeably improved over our old receiver.

Bought this on sale. It replaces a Pioneer Elite 2018 AV receiver. The sound is very good, clear vocals. Even better, the HDMI switching gave me better colors and a shaper picture. On sale, this is a no brainer.

Fantastic. Easy to sey up easy to use and has all the power and settings i need

No issues you may have to factory reset at the beginning. The volume screen was remaining o the screen at the beginning no matter what I would do it would return. Finally after contacting the receiver company and more troubleshooting with them and factory reset there hasn’t been any more issues.

Got this for a gift. Install was easy to add to my existing surround speakers. It was steal at the sale price

Bought this to run my in ceiling speakers. It is powering them perfectly. It was easy to set up and understand and connect. This was my first time connecting component audio and it couldnt have been easier.
