Receiver fits well in a tight space and adds 4K
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously had an older 5 disc DVD Samsung receiver, but it was showing its age, and I wanted to be able to have something that would support ARC from the TV back to the receiver (to satisfy others in the household who don't want to listen to the receiver to watch TV). This works really well in handling both the ARC, and I moved an Apple TV 4K as an input into the receiver, and it handles it just fine. I used the old speakers (3 Ohm) with the receiver even though it recommends 4-8 Ohm speakers. The configuration process does take about 10-15 minutes, but it sounds good. I had to turn down the subwoofer settings, but otherwise it works great. Airplay works well, and my Google Home Mini sees it as well. There may be more reasonably priced receivers, but for my needs, it does what I need it to do.

Love the SFF
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not heavy and fits perfectly into the small space I had in mind for it. More than enough power for the small space I use it in (an RV). Many useful features and easy to use and customize.

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a small home theatre receiver for my media center and this was perfect!! VERY EASY for this 66 year old female to set up on my own. It has plenty of power for my system and doesn’t run so hot. It replaced a Pioneer stereo receiver I used for 26 years!!!

Purchased for low profile!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver was purchased because I needed something with a low profile in a 5.1 system & Network-Ready 4K Ultra HD and 3D Pass-Through HDR Compatible! This was the ONLY thing I could find...that was affordable to me. It does all that I need with great sound and PLENTY enough volume. No regrets, or regerts, here.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendVery poor quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked fine at first. Within less than a month, problems appear from time to time. The remote control app couldn't find the receiver when all network connections were fine. Finally, one of the front speaker output stops having any sound. I have used many receivers in the past 40+ years and this is the worst one.
