    Annoying Power Up Home Menu Cannot Be Disabled

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Every time you power the receiver on an annoying home menu appears and you have to hit the home button every time you turn on your TV or it stays on the screen. It cannot be disabled. Not sure how this made sense to the folks at Sony. I will be returning this to Best Buy tomorrow. Very annoying.

    After a few years the Home button, bluetooth and Airplay stopped working. Spend a little extra and go with Denon
