Good entrypoint for 4k dolby atmos.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The on device screen is a little small and there is no way, that I have found, to pause it's scroll. I will also say that the mode you need to use for most things including Dolby Atmos and most surround is oddly named "Multi Stereo", and in some section of the manual this setting is described as outputting stereo sound to all speakers. with a little digging I have found that this setting is basically the "auto detect" setting that outputs whatever encoding the device is sending it. I would have liked to see dedicated buttons for each input instead of the dial, but I guess I don't use the on device button enough for this to be a deal breaker.

EASY SET-UP
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this unit to be able to connect our ceiling speakers and other speakers to our tv and blue ray player. It was a pretty easy job to connect all of the speakers. I would say that it is a bit more difficult, at least for the novice, to figure out how to get the right sound balance. I have a L and R front speakers with a center speaker, sub-woofer, and 4 ceiling speakers. I still have not been able to get the sub to play. I don't know if I have something else that I need to select on the receiver or what. I do know that the sub was working prior to connecting this receiver, so it must be an easy fix (hopefully). The ceiling speakers seem to have a mind of their own as they don't work all of the time. I would recommend this receiver to anyone.

We can now hear the voices on the center channel speaker and the surround sound puts you in the middle of the action. Must buy.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After the initial setup, I was amazed at the clarity and deep sounds that I heard. The separations that I heard between the speakers was better than what I had heard with other products tha cost more.
