I purchased this unit for my home theater system. I was looking for a quality amp that was reasonably priced. I'm very happy with the performance. I would recommend this unit to others looking for something similar.

This unit is hands down much better than my sc 27, the sound is just unbelievable. Dolby Atmos does feel as if you are there.

I needed a receiver that could decode dts with my 4K player. The sound is superb. I run it with my Polk speakers giving me movie theatre sound. I highly recommend.

Bought this receiver at the beginning of June, after a month my speakers would pop and receiver would cause my TV to blink with a black screen. Plugged sources directly into my KS8000 and no problem. So Blu rays, PC and PS4 all would blink a black screen intermittently. Ended up returning for a Marantz. I really liked that Pioneer had Class D amps but since Onkyo bought them I don't trust Pioneer now.

This is a great receiver. My ONLY complaint...when turning this unit it always switches the input selection and it needs to be changed. I have tried to change the default setup, but haven't corrected the issue just yet. I will continue to search. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this unit.

Had to get a second system for the kids movie and game room. The player has produced results way above expectations. I would definately purchase again.

After reviewing and comparing many levels of receivers, this is a good choice. I needed this not only for music but for my home theater movie entertainment. Paired with good quality speakers it has a very rich warm sound. Great for sourround sound set ups.

Bought this because it was an AV/Audio not just an AV.
Happy so far. No RCA inputs to accept older equipment.
Over 170 pages of manuals; basic and advanced- work to be done.
