    I chose this to replace a Pioneer unit that had issues. It's a good unit for the price but still has inherent issues that many home theater amps do. Unit will mute itself after power up. Don't know why. Has an issue with the HDCP 'handshake" between cable box and monitor that many units have. Otherwise a good unit for the price. Very good picture and sound.

    For a open box product, the quality of how it works is great. The cosmetic description did not quite fit the item though, but other than that I'm happy.

    Great entry-level home theater unit. Sony is still using those dang wire clips, but outside of that my complaints are limited to the following: - plastic knobs feel cheap, too much travel too feel tactile - no integrated streaming
