Back to the basics
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a receiver to replace an older moldel. As technology advanced, my previous equipment wasn't sufficient to watch HD streaming videos. Though this one did not have dual zones like my other one, it still gives me the ability to watch movies in surround sound in our living room. The price was reasonable and with my rewards points I saved another $150, so it was a good deal.

Good Value for features.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 3 weeks of use, so far so good. sound quality is good. Auto calibration was ok. It was a little soft on the rear speakers. I'm only running a 5.1 setup so no ATMOS to judge it on. EARC is working well. My Roku manages power on/off and volume control with no issues. I do wish the screen had more info but it will overlay menus on the tv screen for most functions.

Great sound system
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome home theater system. It is a very good system no matter what you are listening to. It says 7.2 and has connections for 7.2 but the setup and all information in the system settings does not give you anything for the two subs only the one but that is a minor issue. It is very loud if you want it to be and is clear with no distortion. Great sound system for the money.

Decent Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A decent receiver for the holiday price. Even with the online manuel printed, a few features aren't completely clear. I will have to Google some things, but overall it routes the tv signal the way it should. It has a few quirks here and there but nothing big. My theater setup is 5.1.2, using compatible Sony speakers, and it sounds great. Overall, with the holiday price of the complete system, I am happy with it.

Good (But Kinda Confusing) Atmos Option
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is nice, but could have used easier to understand instructions for a few key features. I still haven't figured out how to set it up with 2 subwoofers correctly. Setting up the various surround options is easy enough though. The audio modes it has to be on for your surround to work correctly are also a little confusing to understand, especially for anyone that isn't fluent in current home theater tech.

Excellent value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as an open box item for over 30% off and it was in amazing shape,only missing the FM antenna which I most likely would have never used anyway. Some have knocked this item for using spring clips but no big deal for me. It suits all.my surround sound needs, adequate power for me. Even at full price this would have been an extreme bargain. Can't wait to add a pair of elevation speakers to it!!

Great receiver for the money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using an optical cable as a passthrough to my old Sony (non 4k) Volumes were different for every channel/program. Now that is solved. Sound quality is amazing, PS4 is outta this world. Only reason not 5 stars is because you have to press the Sat/Tv button on receiver remote every time you turn the TV on. The menu screen pops up twice every time. I find it highly annoying, my family says it's not a problem. So we are keeping it.
