    The unit itself is ok. Wish it had a few more hdmi inputs but you get what you pay for. Great price point. That said once setup and everything was connected I attempted to calibrate the speakers with the provided mic only to find that the mic was defective and wasn’t detecting any sound. Thank goodness I had a spare mic from my pioneer elite receiver otherwise I would have been returning it.
