This was the easiest surround sound set up I have have ever done. I have a Cable Box, 6 disk DVD player, XBox 360, XBox ONE & a WIIU hooked up to this receiver. My kids (8 & 6) are able to easily use it to switch between their game systems and TV. If you have a ARC HDMI input on your TV you will only need one HDMI cable running from the receiver to the your TV. Its pretty awesome.

My son was looking for a receiver that could push his Bose speakers to their limits. The sales rep at Best Buy suggested this receiver - we listened to it in their sound room and we both loved it. Got it home and it delivers the goods - totally satisfied! My son likes more bass than me (naturally), and this unit happily provides it. He's really digging it.

this receiver has the ability to control all sound from it.there are settings after settings.I found going in and setting speaker location,height,distance and level manually paid off.before sounded great but was muted.as auto calibration muted speaker volumes a lot.after new settings my klipsch speakers scream if I want them to.night and day difference.

Previous 10 yr old receiver had ALL THE BELLS 'N WHISTLES, many which we never used. It still DIED on us. This new one does just everything we need to run DVD, TV, VCR, and AM/FM. Was easy to install and very easy to use. Also did not break the bank, either! Looking forward to using the USB adapter on the front when we stream TV from the computer.

After having a few sound bars and not being happy I knew I needed to really step up my home theater experience and the only way to do that was to go with a wired 7.2 system. But I also didn't want to break the bank, so the guys at Magnolia helped me put together a nice setup using this AV receiver, I couldn't be any happier this thing delivers!

Got a center 2 book shelf speakers and sub from Klipsh and the receiver makes the speakers sound awesome. I have it connected to network and plays music off the phone and computer with no issues. I love turing the PS4 on and the receiver automatically turns itself and tv on once it senses the source on. Very happy with this purchase

Lots of great features, and works well with all of my components. Wifi and bluetooth is easy to set up, and the AUX plugin is great to plug in the computer. Until I checked online, I wasn't aware of a potential issue. The Phono in plus can sound really staticky. I used the DVD in since all the TV stuff goes through TV anyway and it all works great.

Bought this to update an old Yamaha which did not have all the current connectivity. Really like the built in wi fi, blue tooth works great. Have smaller wall mounted speakers and this amp drives them really well. Did not give it 5 stars only because the remote, as mentioned in other reviews, just seems like it could be more substantial.

I have had this tunner for amo. I have had a pioneer tunner be for so I know how good the brand is. I just wish the remote would turn on all my other units. I think it has great sound. I replaced a Bose 48 system with this. I think it sounds just as good as the Bose and a lot less money.
