    Good for a simple setup; not to many options to change. Set it up and forget. I have connected to the TV to ARC so that it start always and sound is managed through this system.

    The receiver performs very good and was fairly easy to hook up. There were some issues such as turning off automatically at a low volume. That was resolved in settings, but I had to figure it out on my own. Also, a minor inconvenience in that when turned on, the menu screen pops up instead of defaulting to the last input used. Easily removed by pushing the button of the device needed.

    So far so good. For the price point, it's hard to find anything better. Just be aware that besides the two main speaker outputs, the other outputs only take bare wire. Also make sure it has enough HDMI inputs for your purposes. Sound quality is satisfactory considering the price again.

    We purchased this so that we could have multiple areas around the house set up to speakers and be able to operate from our phone or other things like the TV, Stereo, etc. We set it up with ease and we are not even tech savvy. We love it already and have only had it hooked up a few weeks. It works great and sounds even better!!

    I really can’t give a fair review as I’m still in the process of first used. Needing to replace speakers and rewired them so it’s taking a bit to actually enjoy this system. However, it was recommended and I’m hopeful that it will meet expectation.

    I bought this as a open box product and cannot be happier. It was a replacement receiver for my theater room. I received everything in the original box with instructions and will definitely save money in the future with open box purchases from Best Buy.

    I had an older Yamaha receiver that had the pass-thru and really liked it. It couldn’t do the newer HDCP algorithm though. I found this one and the reviews were really good. Super easy to setup and the auto calibration made it even better. Works fantastic and does everything I need.

    Bang for the buck. This is a nice receiver for the price. It has hdmi inputs, analog, optimal audio jack. I purchased it primarily for my turntable and it does the job. The menu will take a little patience with functions somewhat buried, but regardless, its a great get!

    This receiver puts out plenty power to my main 15 inch speakers. With my 15 inch speakers, I do not need a sub-woofer. Nice that we can choose speaker patterns all the way from 2 channel up to 5.2 channel patterns. One of my only complaints is that I cannot seem to control the surround sound speakers like I would like to.
