    I have always had trouble with these audio receivers. I have had this one for a year now and its been great. I have a firestick and it works great with the firestick remote. The volume even populates on the TV. Turns on and off with the same remote. I plug the firestick directly into the receiver and the 4k channels look great as well. Can easily swith to bluetooth for playing spotify or apple music.

    Went in to buy a sony receiver and ended up seeing this one on sale for $300. Took it home and set it up and was honestly surprised by how it outperformed my previous sony receiver. You can tell it was pushing more and cleaner power and theres a bit more setting and features to use and work with to fine tune your experience. Personally recommended it to a friend and he also loves it. Would definitely buy again

    I had 5.1 speakers in my bedroom. My 2002 receiver didn't have new modes or HDMI. I replaced the TV and decided to modernize everything. I am very happy on how it works as a system.
