Pretty good with one flaw
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money, especially when on sale, this receiver is decent. I have several stereos, but wanted something with surround that draws less power than my other receivers and integrated amps and had limited space in my cabinet. This unit will be used often but not for critical listening. This receiver only draws 200 watts which is pretty efficient. There is one critical flaw with this unit. When using analog sources (any of the RCA inputs) you will only get a signal from the subwoofer out when using one of the surround modes. You can’t listen to two channel stereo and have the subwoofer on if the input source in analog. The only options for getting the sub to turn on when using an analog RCA input is to use 4 channel stereo, Dolby pro logic music, or switch to a 2.1 pattern and use 2 channel stereo. But if you switch the speaker pattern all the speaker settings like speaker size and crossover settings get reset. So if you also use this for surround, it’s not practical to switch the speaker pattern and have to redo the set up. If you use the radio, Bluetooth, coaxial or optical input the sub out will work in all sound modes. But if you use something with RCAs you’re out of luck. I have owned many surround receivers and have never run into this issue. I understand why direct mode wouldn’t use the sub out, but there should be an option for 2 channel stereo with the sub regardless of the source. There’s no question the processor can support it. Pro logic music and 4 channel stereo sounds like crap in my opinion, I would never use them for listening to music. I still have not decided if I’m going to keep this as I use it for music often using the headphone out from an iPhone and really want to hear the sub. The comparably priced Denon and Onkyo receivers do not have this limitation. But I was lucky and bought this on sale and open box so the price was pretty good. But at full price I would recommend one of the other options.

This is exactly what I was looking for.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First of all I needed a good amp tuner that was a certain size, especially height to fit under my TV. This is perfect. It also has the features that I wanted and sounds great. The price was right so I am a happy customer!

Good sound but old school UI
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the quality of sound it generates. But I’m kind of upset that the UI is very old school command like appearance . For 2020 UI could be better . And remote is bit weird and feels cheap.

It works! With PS4/VR, Xbox One X
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a ton of trouble finding a receiver that actually worked with the PS4 Pro/ PSVR, Xbox One X, and Apple TV. This works perfectly with all of them. I bought some Yamaha speakers to go with it and now everything sounds awesome also.

Effective and Adaptive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a Cable Cord Cutter and it (the receiver) adapts to all media sources automatically! It’s adaptive in the source that’s selected, with also changing speaker arrangements that’s best suited for the application. The option/feature to power receiver on with Apple airplay is phenomenal! The 4K pass through is exquisite! And the added plus is the option to have 2 sub outlets would have to be the icing on the cake! No real negative. If your looking for a solid device that’s dependable and deliver when commanded, your search has ended! I compared even higher end receivers and it has proven to be a solid purchase. When it turns on, it admits a solid clunk sound so you know the internal breaker has engaged, but it gives a nostalgic impression on a sleek modern unit.

Sony A/V home theater receiver.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice receiver/amplifier, well worth the money. Easy to use, full featured, if modest power output. If you don't need to have your neighbors sharing your music, this will work for you.

Good receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is pretty decent nothing over the top but considering the price it’s not bad at all paired with some good Speakers and a subwoofer and your Picture frames will rattle if you crank it up.
