Meets Our Family Needs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was purchased as an inexpensive upgrade to an older Onkyo receiver with no HDMI ports. Does the job nicely. My wife loves that the receiver will turn on automatically when playing music from her phone via Bluetooth. Bonus... have been able to better sync audio between receiver and tv. Not a big fan of the remote... volume button doesn't always react. However as I use other universal remotes, its not an issue for me.

STRDH590 - D40fM-K09
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to connect an Optical Audio cable from my LG D40fM-K09 to have audio from the TV to the receiver. The instructions stated I didn't need that cable when the TV had a HDMI/ARC port to connect to.

Posted .Hi RobertMoore, Thank you reaching out to us. The AV receiver is compatible with ARC. If the AV receiver is connected to a TV’s HDMI IN jack compatible with ARC, TV sound can be output from the receiver using only one HDMI cable and without connecting an optical digital cable.
If the TV has no ARC label on its HDMI ports, connect the HDMI cable to any HDMI ports on the TV and to the HDMI TV OUT (ARC) jack on the receiver. Then connect an optical cable to the optical output port of the TV and the Optical IN jack on the receiver. For more details, see pages 19, 21 from the manuals.

Lackluster sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know if it was me being a snob, or my ability to properly tune this receiver, but I was disappointed in the sound quality it pushed out to my 3.1 speaker setup with floor standing front speakers. I had upgraded from a 2009 Onkyo high end receiver which pushed out a much more full sound compared to this unit. This was lackluster in mid tone and bass. The setting menus are very plain and somewhat cryptic. You don't have much control over the speakers - no Midrange EQ, can't manually add them (have to use setup Mic). It did the job, it just did not meet expectations. I ended up going back to use my 2009 unit with digital optical out from my 4k TV. At the price, it would be better money spent to get a used higher end model from a few years older.

Posted .Hi vectr,
Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. Sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. Subwoofer is recommended if you want bass sound. Here's the link on how to adjust the equalizer of the unit.

Repeat customer for years
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound coming through the Bose system is much better than it was with the oldl amplifier. I'm glad I made the change, even though it was still working. I have always bought my electronics from Best Buy and have been very satisfied.
