    Works good. Sounds good with the speakers I bought. Not impressed with how best buy shipped to my house. Had I not been home when the package showed up I would have had a box sitting outside advertising what it was. They sent in manufacturers box not some Nondescript box. Again I am glad I was home when it showed or who know what porch pirate may have ended up with it.

    For an entry level amp it delivers far more than the price would suggest. The setting options are at first daunting and then become crystal clear, sensible, and enjoyable to manipulate. There is a plethora of listening choices for various imputs and accomodates with its many HDMI imputs a host of devices,

    I upgraded from a mid-1990s Kenwood receiver. It still works great, but it doesn't have HDMI passthrough, and my Samsung smart TV only has two HDMI ports and I was tired of switching out inputs. My favorite part about upgrading to something 20 years newer is the automatic setup with the included calibration mic. My speakers have never sounded better! Excellent mid-range option, fulfills my need for a simple 5.2 surround sound experience.

    This is a decent, basic HT receiver that does it's job. My biggest issue is it constantly "pops" when switching channels or inputs. Sound is fine for basic movie watching. 4k pass through doesn't seem to negatively affect the image.

    All the basic features, great sound for our room. Took a star for very minor issues - for some reason the streaming device grabs the output at start, and getting the speakers set correctly for the different signal types was a little annoying (the menu could be clearer). Otherwise great for our needs - a couple of gaming consoles, a streaming device, and a couple of separate audio connections. When the device comes on, there is a click loud enough to scare the dog.

    perfect inexpensive but good quality AV Receiver. Bought to replace a downstairs receiver that had problems. Sounds great on my "old" 5.1 system Set up very easy, worked right away. ARC was essential and it had that feature. Bluetooth makes it simple to play music from my phone or tablet through the surround system. Very impressed with this unit for the money!

    I am really impressed with the way this receiver has helped to improve the sound of movies & TV. I am just using it in a 3.1 configuration and it fills the family room (my man cave) with great sound. I like that I can add surround speakers later. It quickly adjusted the sound from the speakers to the room. Knowing that it is so quick to adjust allows us to change things in the room without worrying about needing a long calibration time.
