    Needed a 4K receiver when we got the new TV. Had Onkyo products in the past and after researching decided on another. So glad we went with this one! Great reviver for the price range - Onkyo never fails to impress!

    Love it. Once I got it all set it works great. There are few setting that could be easier but take your time and it is worth it.

    There are fewer and fewer home theater receiver choices for consumers - fortunately, this choice still exists. It's excellent and won't disappoint the consumer.

    Upgraded my old Onkyo to this 4K model. With 6 hdmi inputs I can connect all my devices to my Sony 4k tv. Great picture and sound to match. And with separate area I can play music on my patio while watching tv in the family room.

    The sound is great and loud, but for some reason it is hard to hear the dialog (people talking). I have to turn the sound way up to hear them clear, but then when there is an action scene it is ridiculously loud so I have to turn it down and up all the time. There is an option to turn the center channel DB up, but again, its just to loud when there are action scenes. I also tried the night mode, but it is still the same situation as stated above.
