Customers are saying
Customers often highlight the excellent sound quality, ease of use, and Dolby Atmos capabilities of the 1155W 7.2-Ch. A/V Home Theater Receiver. Many also appreciate the receiver's power and straightforward setup process. While some users noted the unit can get warm during operation and that the menu system could be improved, the positive feedback on sound and ease of use outweighs these concerns for most buyers. The price point is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.

It gets really hot just sitting there.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit in standby mode gets really warm. I do have HDMI pass-through enabled because I typically watch TV with Bluetooth headphones (linked to the TV) and don't turn on this receiver unless the family is watching with me. And I change the settings suggested in the manual to reduce power consumption (except HDMI pass-through.) I did try turning off the pass-through which does appear to cool down the receiver a bit but then I have to use the receiver's Bluetooth which is very flaky making the initial connection to my headphones - it can take 5 minutes for it to connect whereas connecting to the TV is instantaneous. (Yes, I turn off the TV's Bluetooth when using the receiver's and vice versa. ) Also, I bought this receiver for the Zone-2 speakers as I have a pair of speakers on the patio but they can't be used with any of the HDMI inputs. Plus changing the volume on them is very difficult. Another complaint I have is the power output ratings are very misleading. It is no where near 1155W, I figure it is probably more like 120W total. (AC Line power is only 240W so unless it has it's own internal power generator, the most power you can hope to get is about half that.) I was going to give it 3 starts but after writing this review I lowered my rating to 2 stars.

Posted .Hi zalzo,
Awesome! You’re now able to experience true home theater sound without limitations. Once you take advantage of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround sound, combined with 4K HDR and HDCP 2.2 support, there is no going back! Be sure to take advantage of the flexibility of 6- in/2-out HDMI and multi-room listening, plus voice control powered by Google Home. Don’t forget our Phantom rear surround channels can transform your five-channel system into a seven- channel system too!
Regards,
David

Absolutely Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this unit to replace my 15 year old Sony A/V receiver that finally died after many years and many many thousands of hours of constant use. This new unit is great. Lots of features and options. Very easy to use GUI. I run everything and I mean everything through this unit including a PS3, PS4, my Mac Mini, big screen tv, a Sony carousel CD player, Pro-Ject turntable, dvd/vhs unit, router and 7.1 speaker setup. Handles it all with ease and plenty of power to boot.
