    Only comment is there is a problem if the receiver is not initially connected to a television. The "Setup" is not completed so every time you turn on the receiver the "Setup" prompt comes up and the "Setup" button has to be pushed before you can select your audio. I submitted a request to Onkyo if there is a way to fix this situation but never heard back.

    Have been enjoying Onkyo receiver and disc player for years. My old receiver gave up the ghost, so I replaced it with another Onkyo. Great item, easy to install, and glad to have another Onkyo receiver to enjoy.

    No issues, however this is a dated unit, I (must have) missed the date this unit came out, the on screen interface is dated, and didn’t seem all that great, but I suppose at the price point I got it (used-open box), it’s okay. However, I returned it for a different model.
