    Amazing...um...everything about it. This is a smart receiver that has so many awesome features-too many to list here. Even has an hdmi port that is a 2way IO for easy comms between stereo and tv. Clearity rich and crisp with enough amperage to fill your living space. Perfect with my Bose system.

    The reciever has great sound for the price. Connects very well with ARC/EARC to the Sony 65" tv. Indicates with light when Dolby Atmos is connected.

    Onkyo - TX-SR494 7.2 Receiver is good, but not the best Onkyo. This receiver is good for the price, the sound is good for the price and the receiver is good for a small room.

    This is my 2nd receiver in 6 months, the first one went out after a couple months of use, I was very disappointed, then It got shipped off to the warehouse to get fixed, that took 3 weeks before I was notified it couldn't get fixed and I will be given store credit or a new receiver. So, we will see how this one is, but always get the geek squad warranty no matter what.

    Really a nice little receiver for home audio. Not gonna take the foundation but that's what amps are for. Bought it open box for $150 and it looked brand new to me. Just missing the little microphone to roon test the receiver that should have been in the box but no big deal.

    It's all about the watts, I should have went with the Sony like the old days but I went for the features instead of watts. My next av will be 100 watts I need it to push out more. Overall its decent for a started kit
