    My 2011 Marantz amplifier did not support the 4K required by my recently acquired 75" TV. This amp did the trick. I wanted a shorter in height amp and one that supported the 5 speakers I already had in place. I feel I lucked out with this purchase.

    Only problem so far: When I use our DIRECTV remote to turn on the TV, the DIRECTV box and the AV receiver, the receiver shows SAT/CATV for a few seconds then changes to TV and the sound is lost. I have to manually change it back to SAT/CATV.

    Nice sound spectrum, but I don't like a couple of things. Can't adjust the EQ and the on screen graphic doesn't annunciate the level of the volume.

    Set up was easy and features such as a USB-A port to charge devices was a clever feature. I especially liked the calibration feature so I could set my speaker levels perfectly depending on my listening position.

    Great audio and video presentation. A slightly clunky setup is the only thing holding this recommendation from 5 stars. Enabling ARC and HDR settings are deeply buried on menu system that is not shown on TV but on receiver display. Other than that, works great.

    My Onkyo receiver went out this summer (2022). I was waiting for Black Friday to replace. The Onkyo WAS a higher end unit, so the comparison isn't as fair. Although I did purchase it on Black Friday in 2015 (so it's 7 years older). The other unit was so far advanced compared to this new unit, that I ended up getting the Onkyo fixed and returned this. I suppose when I'm ready to replace again, I'll have to bite the bullet and spend closer to $1K to get an equivalent to what I have.
