    Great budget/starter AVR

    Decent budget AVR. Sometimes randomly turns off and choosing your right settings for your config isn’t the most intuitive. Runs well with my major Klipsch speakers though

    What I wanted most out of this was for the sound to play through all of my speakers equally when I wanted it to. I understand what surround sound is but when I'm watching the normal TV (not a movie) or the kids are watching cartoons, I'd like the sound to come out of all the speakers including the rear ones. That way I don't have to crank up the volume just to hear what they are saying and so it's not so loud when there is any kind of music. I tried all the settings and gave it awhile, but not it's past the return date and I'm STUCK with it.

    Operates manually or with wireless remote. Note that it has a plug-in FM antenna that is different from most others - - an antenna from another system will not fit/ will not plug-in.
