worst experience of my life!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst experience of my life! Open box item came with no remote, no mic, no directions. I was told I has to take back to a store (even though I ordered on line). Closest best buy to me was 31/2 hour round trip. Nonetheless I mage the trek and the people in the Saginaw Mi store were the rudest I have ever encountered in my 75 years. I ended up just getting a refund and will probably never darken the door of another best buy and will make sure my circle of acquaintances know my feelings,
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWish I had gotten a 9.2 system but very happy.

Instant Blue-Tooth Connection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tuner amp is everything it claims to be. I purchased it so I could listen to my digital music collection through the JBL speakers connected to my existing Sony amp, which I retired. Once the initial blue tooth connection is made all I do is turn on the iPod and turn on the amp. Connection happens instantly without any action on my part. Just bring up the Amazon app and listen to music I have purchased or the vast library of music that is included with Amazon Prime. This unit is not what I would call inexpensive, but it is a great amp for home enjoyment.

Sound quality is great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up was nice but it would have been better if I didn’t need a screen for fine tuning. It’s used in an home office and I had to use my computer screen to dial it in. Sound quality is great!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great EARC receiver for PS5(since it only has HDMI output, no Optical) no issues, just nothing really extra like wifi built in but no complaints for the money

Good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good entry level receiver. Not exactly 7.2; just 7.1. There are two ports for pre subwoofer, but they are not separate channels. The calibration works okay.

Very user friendly but smaller power supply.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have kept this but Elac speakers required a bit more power so went with an Onkyo with 490W vs Sony 240W power supply. Great with more efficient speakers like Klipsch.
