    This has been a nightmare. A geek squad person came at site to recommend this receiver to do what we wanted to do. However since that purchase two different installers have come from Geek Squad and they keep saying that this is not going to work due to existing Bose system wiring etc etc. This has been a frustrating process for us, Now they are telling that I have to return the device personnaly

    Terrible. No way advertised watts is correct. Powers off when switching between inputs. Does not have a 4 speaker setup. Seeing as there was no operational display models of any audio equipment, I'll no longer shop at Best buy.

    Returned receiver. Zone 2 controls did not work independently from the main zone when using the remote or app, no volume control. On the main zone the vocals where washed out and hard to hear over the ambient sound of the movie. I had bought to replace a 10 year old receiver. My old receiver was much better.

    HDMI Output failed on it within 3 months of purchase. Onkyo will fix it under warranty but I am responsible for shipping it back to them or driving it to a service center an hour away. I already paid good money for this receiver, I shouldn't have to cover shipping costs on a new item.

    Easy to hook up ..... HDMI cables take the work out of it. Hooked it to a Bose system and the sound clarity is unbelievable.

    i've had multiple problems with this. very difficult to set up and doesn't stay working. this will cost you a fortune hiring experts to come try to fix and tune. in the end it will be useful only a paperweight.

    Only reason I bought this receiver was to have video inside and outside from the same input. Since I purchased, I spent 3 hours adjusting every setting, updating firmware, and googling how to get the second hdmi output to display, but nothing worked.

    We confirmed that this receiver would support two zones. After the technician spent two hours trying to get it to work, he acknowledged that it would not. We had to return this receiver and ordered a different one.

    This receiver is beyond difficult to connect to surround sound. It is not compatible with Sony Bravia 4K. Geek squad could not get sound and advised me to return to Best Buy.

    Easy enough to attach the wires per the labels on the receiver, but t plays two inputs at the same time! Very frustrating & confusing. Onkyo should figure out a way to make the unit shorter, as it does not fit in most media center shelving units.

    Purchased this product and ceiling speakers. Only had this a couple months and now it's not working. Had geek guys come out and it didn't work. I will be going into the store for a replacement.
