Doesn't work, sounds bad.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this at Best Buy before I had an account there to gain ARC function last receiver did not have. Nobody could tell me how/ if the old receiver would work with a new smart TV. The sound quality on this is terrible, it gets loud, but always seems flat or thin. Tried it as a 2.1 system at first, and the subwoofer just won't work. Added center speaker, which improved sound quality some, but sub still won't work. Sub itself works fine plugged into old receiver. Have a degree in electronics, and have tried every troubleshooting/ set-up procedure I can find....still no sub. Going to use sub with separate stereo set-up to not waste investment in it. If I can get time to figure out how to not use the ARC function, I will reinstall my previous receiver. Would not recommend this for any reason.

Posted .Hi RRB61,
Thank you for the feedback and we understand your concern. When matching speakers and Audio/Video (A/V) receivers, the ohm rating of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the ohm rating of the receiver to avoid a risk of hardware damage. Any speakers that feature bare wire connection will work to this receiver, as long as their impedances are from 6 to 16 ohms.
Regards,
David

Good basic receiver -- fatal design flaw
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Call me old school, but I wish receivers would do a few things really well, instead of trying to stretch their technology. Spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why no sound coming out of sub-woofer, then figured out the speaker configuration needs to be programmed, and can only do that with the remote. My biggest complaint is that it has NO LINE OUT. In addition to fixed ceiling speakers, I wanted to send signal to remote SONOS speaker through SONOS Connect unit. Maybe there's a better way to do it, I ended up buying an input selector box for external sources, and splitting the output from the selector box to both the receiver and Connect. Since I now can't listen to anything generated from the receiver -- e.g., FM -- on the SONOS, I'm switching it out for a receiver that has line out. How much would that have cost to add? Manufacturers must figure that no one has tape recorders anymore so we don't need line out, but they should think about other things that do.

This thing was a pain in the hind end.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver checks all the boxes I had. It was value priced, came from a trusted company, had the power I needed, and allegedly had 4k pass through. One of the problems is the hdmi control. It is slow, and unpredictable. The other major problem is the 4K pass through. There are times where the motion blur is unforgivable even at this price. At first, I thought it was my older cables. I bought all new 8k cables, and none of them were longer than 6' I did a factory reset on the receiver and restarted it with the new cables. The picture was much better, but it still encountered stuttering, and motion blur, with some digital noise. Like I said, it was better, just not perfect. I bought a Sony bravia 4k television, and Sony 4K bluray player, about the same time, hoping it would all interphase well. I'm disappointed, but it works well enough to keep it all. Another weird thing, was that I couldn't get my turntable to work reliable through the rca jack. This receiver is wonky when it comes to the inputs. Oh and be advised if you want sound to come from the tv through the stereo you'll need a optic fiber cord because the ARC feature sucks. I used to buy Pioneer. Too bad their home audio gear is basically all Onkyo. We need an American company to start making affordable, quality, home audio gear.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Excellent help from the salesman in the Merced Store, and excellent help from the Geek Squad for coming out to install in our home. I'd still be trying to figure it out if I tried to install. Thanks for everything, GTR

Decent for what it is but...
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.HDR doesn't work with 4k and RGB is disabled (Ps4). Tried a bunch of ps4 games that showed the resolution on 4k directly plugged to my tv with HDR vs the receiver doing HDR at 1080p or 4k with no HDR. Games I tried were Monster Hunter, Ni no Kuni II and Hundred Knight 2 (hrd only).
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFine performance at a reasonable price.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I picked this unit up, it was for a Christmas present. I had my doubts as to the audio and video performance of this unit. To my surprise it performs wonderfully! Is it top of the line? No. But for the amount of money spent it offers good value for the money. I recommend the Sony to everyone.
I would recommend this to a friendGood value for the price
