    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.

    This is a good receiver, but I needed one that had posts for all of the connections rather than just a couple. My lesson learned is to always inspect an image of the back of the receiver CAREFULLY before ordering. I returned the receiver for this reason.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Seriously good and clean power. I really like the center channel vocal enhancement option. I have owned many similar units and this is one of my top favorites under $500.
