    Had an older Onkyo that finally died on me after about 15 years so went out and bought this receiver over the Denon that is similar in specs. Love the sound and levels that this receiver puts out and have regrets purchasing this as a replacement.

    Really happy with this unit. Works great with my large collection of Bose speakers. I have yet to try out the Bluetooth features...but it's a rock solid unit with outstanding sound.

    Bought this to replace my old Harmon Kardon system from years ago. This unit has all the bells and whistles of today’s technologies. You can control it with your phone as well. It has earc so controlling it with your tv remote is easy as well.

    I am very happy with my onkyo receiver. I purchased a few high dollar soundbars and wasnt satisfied. I had a consultation with Tiffany from Best Buy and she recommended this setup and it is perfect.

    I upgraded my Home theater and added this receiver from an older Onkyo. The wifi and ultra 4K features are amazing. I can view something on my PC and then send to the receiver for sound and quality videos. The receiver has a NET mode so you can search and scroll the internet right from you account. Additionally, I matched this with and LG OLED65CXPUA Alexa Built-In CX Series 65" 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV (2020) for amazing picture and sound. With the LG app I can open a file on my iphone 11 Pro Max and send to the tv and receiver for viewing there. With my 1Gig speed internet My home is tech savvy. Get this setup and be safe inside with you prime videos.

    HDMI passthrough does not work.

    Seems to work with one major exception. When the unit is off, HDMI passthrough does NOT work! If I turn the unit on and select "cbl", I get HDMI to my tv on "Main". If I then turn the until off, the TV still gets the passthrough. But the next time I turn on the cable box and TV, there is no signal until I turn on the receiver again. Anyone know of a fix? I don't always want the sound system on when watching TV.

    The Onkyo receiver is excellent. It has wifi and bluetooth which makes it easy to stream music from Pandora and your cell phone. It is a quality unit and is my third AVR from Onkyo. I have each one in a different room.
