    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.

    I thought this was an upgrade from my Yamaha but First day out the box after hooking everything up. I wasn’t pleased and the receiver was not cutting on after 1st use and now I continue to half that issue it’s not over heating it just doesn’t cut back on after normal use. This is a 7 channel and I’m only use 5. In hindsight I should’ve just stuck with the Yamaha receiver. Now I trying to it serviced by an authorized Onkyo dealer just after not even one month of using it.
