    This receiver works very good. It was tricky at first to hook up, but once it was hooked up properly, it works flawlessly.

    Excellent product, it replaced an older, worn out Sony receiver. Only wish it had a video input, like the one it replaced. However, that is a personal view, and does not detract from the quality of this newer receiver.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
