    Great receiver. I have had nothing but Onkyo equipment for the last 35 years and it never fails me. I have never had a bit of trouble with anything they creat.

    Tried to give this unit a 2nd chance after buying the first to last only a day before not powering on again. The same thing happened with the second unit. Loved the idea of all the features for the price, but his unit has a power supply issue and is not reliable. Sadly disappointed

    Nice piece, terrible set up. It requires you to have a special TV to set it up. Not even geek squad could do anything, because the special setting you need on the TV isnt listed on the fuxking televisions specs! Just get a Bluetooth sender and forget this expensive crap. Worthless.

    hooked this up, turned it on, it shut itself off after 30 seconds. did a reset, same thing, had to take it back, and they didnt have another, so I ended up spending ANOTHER 200 on a Sanyo receiver.

    Didn’t work out of the box. No error messages or anything. Just clicks to turn on the power off. Tried multiple outlets, tried with no speakers.
