    Great A/V receiver for the price. If you want something that is not too expensive for a family home theater highly recommend.

    Its a good value. I have no complaints at all about its performance. I was using much higher end (higher priced) components previously, and I cannot say there's much of a noticeable difference. It has all the features I need and then some.

    I purchased this receiver after I purchased a 4K TV. I was seeing a delayed sound (approximately a 1/2 second) with my old receiver combined with my new 4K TV. My old receiver was only a few years old and I could not believe this was the issue. I tried calling the cable company with no success. I finally replaced all the HDMI cables to 4K and the receiver to 4K. Now I have no sound issues and a much sharper picture. If you upgrade to 4K some say it’s not necessary to upgrade everything, but I found it to be beneficial !!!!

    Bought it. Tried it. It was alright and did a decent job however I ended up sending my old receiver in to be repaired. Once that came back I realized I couldn’t justify the price point of this receiver when I had one that works perfectly fine. I ended up returning this product
