    A Very good AV receiver, But very complicated for an average person. The options and controls for set ups are kind of over whelming, the manual in the English version is over 200 pages. I used it for sending audio to 2 rooms and expandable.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • good option for the money

    adequate but not great power (with 5.2.1 B&W's & 12 awg wires), Dirac a plus but could be better (missing low end), wide range of surround options, remote should be bluetooth by now, unable to get secondary zone speakers to work (confirmed using separate older amp that everything else works)
