Its black finish gives it a sophisticated look that fits seamlessly into most home entertainment setups.

    It works great and really is a good intro-level receiver. However, I had to do a lot of Google search to get HDR work properly. It turned out there is a hidden menu for that, which isn't mentioned at all in either the start-up guide or the online user manual.

    Zone B was difficult to track down on how to use. There were restrictions of when it could be used. The older models were straight forward in its usage.
