    Easy to connect and calibrate. Outstanding sound quality. Will get a 4k TV soon, but have no doubts this receiver will enhance the display.

    High quality audio and great performance that you would expect from the brand, with automatic settings for most of your needs. Initial setup was more confusing than it needs to be, and the interface on the device itself is limited. It does have a better visual interface when you connect it though a TV, but it's still clunky.

    Upgraded from a Sony 5.1 receiver to get Atmos with my ps5/4k Blu-ray’s as well as 120hz pass through. Works great and is well worth the upgrade if you’re on the fence like I was. The upgrade interface is great as well.

    As far as sound and video quality goes, I find the unit sufficient for my needs and wants. If you're a stickler for details, you may want to read other reviews. My biggest gripe with this unit is when it gets stuck on the "PELASEWAIT" message. It turns on automatically, I find it stuck saying "PLEASEWAIT," and the only way to move forward is to physically unplug and replug. This, unfortunately, makes it a deal-breaker for me.
