    Works really well with my surround sound setup, sounds great. I especially like the Dolby Surround upmixer, which can turn stereo music into surround sound, which sounds really cool.

    Amazing deal for premium sound. Only downside is lack of active cooling but this is remedied by adding a simple fan to the grill up top. Drives all the Sony speakers that that it is rated for

    I use it for movies and TV 99% of the time. Good receiver, good power. Separates 5.1 sound through 7.1 speakers, unlike previous Denon I had. Hwoecer, bafflingly, it doesn’t have wireless or even wired Ethernet capability.

    This is a great AV system, and I was able to setup my dolby atmos 7.2 environment with ease. One downside would be there is no hdmi 2.1 so it lacks some future proofing (4k @ 120hz).
