    Bought this on black friday sale. Was extremely pleased with the features for the price. Does everything i need it to. Virtual Surround, sounds convincing.... but only when you're standing/sitting in certain spots in the room. 4k HDR pass trough works great on my sony TV, worth noting though that you do have to go into the settings to enable ‘ HDMI Enhanced mode ’ a quick search on the internet or some time with the manual will have you up and running pretty quick.

      Hi Alphabetsoup, We're glad to hear you're satisfied with the sound quality and it works well with your all your devices. And good to know your kids are enjoying the audio for gaming. To ensure you're getting the best audio experience, please follow the steps below:

      -Check that all connecting cables are inserted to their input/output jacks on the receiver, speakers, and the devices.
      -Check that MASTER VOLUME on the receiver is not set to “VOL MIN”.
      -Check that the speaker settings are appropriate by using the following settings:
      Perform Auto Calibration in [Easy Setup] from the home menu.
      Press AMP MENU, then select “<SPKR>” - “PATTERN” on the display panel.
      -Then check that sound is output from each speaker correctly by pressing the AMP MENU and selecting “<LEVEL>” - “T. TONE” on the display panel.
      -Be sure to select the optimal sound field for the content. For details on the sound fields, see “Selectable sound fields and their effects.” using the Help Guide.

    I wish the Sony receiver had better surround sound. Also when watching TV, wish sound stayed at the same volume level. Seems often the commercials are a lot louder than the show. And wish sound could be set at a certain default level so that when turn on your TV the volume would be at the set default level instead of the last level you were listening. My old Samsung receiver was better but needed upgraded because of the input/outputs. Anyone else find a newer receiver that has great surround and can also set a default level?
