    Fairly easy to set up and calibrate. Volume knob is a bit tough, but most will use the remote anyways. I grabbed it on sale, and it's replaced my existing (but fried) STRDH770.

    It’s a better receiver than expected I was with a Onkyo and Denon and I believe Denon is a bit better and more options but this Sony receiver is a bit more better than the Onkyo I had and has a bit more 4K and obvious things that Onkyo has or better for a lower price! It’s also a easy to use and will pair with any remote right away!
